Ronlhtru Baptlit Convention.
Tl>is boffy, embracing nlj the Southern States
from Maryland to Toias, meets oa Thursday,
tbe Oth Inatanf^n Memphis, Tennessee. Wo
notice several gentlemen in our city en route for
tlio Convention, By previous appointment the
Convention sermon Is expected from the Rev.
W. T. Brantly, of this city. The railroads agree
to carry delegates at half the usual faro.
Vlnsarlal.
The following important financial Information,
connected as ills with the United States Treasury
Department, must interest our financial circles In
this community, especially our hauliers and bro
kers, whose operations in coin aud greenbacks are
cither favorably, or unfavorably, effected by the
policy which governs at Washington. Says the
InteUigenccr of that city, which is reliable Upon
whatever it discourses: “The Treasury com
menced on the first ol May thcpaymoutol about
twenty-tour millions in coin tor interest on the
public debt, which will tend to depress tbe gold
premium, even if there should bo a greater de
mand from importers nml lor export than is ex
pected. The Treasury statement ol tho public
debt will show that no reduction of the greenback
currency was effected during tho post month.—
The tailing oftjn the internal revenue and tiie
large demands upon the Treasury for expendi
tures may prevent tho Secretary, (or some months
to come, thorn withdrawing four millions a
month, as he was authorized to do by Inw. It is
now urged that when the Treasury shall be in a
condition to resume tho monthly deduction of
legal-tenders, it will still be restricted to the sum
of four millions a month—llmt is, in any one
month. Thus, the reduction, when resumed,
will not include the sums which were authorized
to he withdrawn during previous months. The
process of funding the maturing obligations of
the government goes on with great success. The
conversion of Seven-Thirties and of compound
interest notes into Five-Twenties will amount to
thirty-seven millions. The gold coin in the
Treasury is not diminished since the last return,
though there have been some sales of gold for
tho convenience of the Treasury.
Tbe Trial of Jett'erson Davis.
The telegraphic item which stated that Judge
Underwood had granted a writ of habeas corpus
at Alexandria, lor the purpose of bringing Mr.
Davis before liis court on Monday next, is ex
plained in tho following from the New York
Times. The writ, says that paper, “is directed
to General Burton, the officer in command at
Fortress Monroe, nnd was to-day taken by Mr.
George Shea, who is associated with Mr. O'Con
nor, as counsel for Davis, to Richmond, where
he will place it in the hands of Deputy United
States Marshal W. A. Duncan, for service. The
writ is made returnable on the sefiond Monday
in May, the lJth instant. With rcicrencc to the
surrender of Davis by the military authorities, it
may bo stated that his counsel profess to have
assurauccs from the Secretary of War that Gen
eral Burton will he directed to obey the writ; in
other words, lliat the military* custody of the
prisoner shall cease, and that lie be surrendered
to the civil authorities, to be dealt -with under
the laws. United States District Attorney Chand
ler, of Virginia, is here, consulting with Attorney-
General Stanberry regarding the practicability oi
a trial at the present term. Mr. Chandler de
sires the concurrence of the Attorney General in
whatever course it may be necessary lor him to
pursue, but that gentleman lias not yet declared
bis purposes, though lie is believed to be in favor
ot an early trial, as is also .Judge Underwood.—
Davis’ counsel will demand bis trial or bin un
conditional discharge. In this connectiou it may
be stated that of the twenty-tour graud jurors
summoned for the present term of Judge Under
wood’s court, nineteen are white, and five are
colored.”
“ Hold lip Your Hands,**
The Charleston Mercury, of the 4th instant,
contains an interesting account ot a negro meet
ing held in that city, the previous day, on Cita
del Green, which was addressed by Senator Wil
son, oi Massachusetts. At the close of the ad
dress, the speaker, says the Mercury, “ put it to
tho voto whether the meeting approved the Re
publican platform, and told all who were in layor
of it to hold up their right hands." Had Sena
tor Wilson stopped herb, which, wily politician
as he is, lie ought to have done, nil would have
been right with him nnd the Republican parly lie
is representing in ids Southorn tour; but over
confident in the apparent unanimity that pre
vailed in the meeting, lie put the oilier side ol
the question, and “told all who were opposed to
it (the Republican platform) to hold up their
bands.” Again, says the Mercury, “the crowd
unanimously held up their hands.” Recourse
was then had to explanation which secured "the
unanimous approval of the Republican platform,
and satisfied Air. Wilson.”
This Incident carries with it a moral. The
vole at the ballot box, deposited by the illiterate
and ignorant freedinan, will lie like the "hold up
your hard," vote at “ Citadel Green,” given with
out understanding, and as readily given for oue
side as the other, or lor botli sides, were it al
lowed them to vote twice. It is a vote the Re
publican party will make every effort to control.
It will no more resemble free suflrage tliiiu fire
does water. In the effort to control it, however,
mistakes may be made, similar to that at “Citadel
Green.” They may not only “hold up their
hands" on both sides of u question, hut vote also
on both sides, which they will do, or we much
mistake tho character ot the docile nnd unfortu
nate race.
The Charleston Courier, referring to tho same
meeting, and to Senator Wilson’s efforts, says:
“ Wo believe he will fail here. There is no na
tural antagonism between the two races here.
They must understand, that Inhabitants ol the
same soil must look to each other lor their main
tenance, laws, aud rights. The interests of the
colored man cannot be promoted by division.
And it will, wo think, be found in tbe end, Unit
they will understand where their real weltare lies,
and their education and advancement can heat
be promoted by uuion and identification with
tbe white race of their own State, rather than by
separation and distrust at home, and by alliances
with parties in other States, who should first
cast the beans from tbeir own eye, before they
find tault with the imaginary mote here."
Self Laudation.
We have “in our mind's eye” more than one
journal whose repealed efforts at selt-laudatlou
fall far short of one of tbeir celestial brethren,
the TVue Aurora, published at Madras, in Hin
dostan, judging Irom tbe following, which re
cently appeared in ils editorial column :
“ All here is arranged by eloquence; lienee,
our journal is universally appreciated. These
pages, filled with eloquent lines, are altogether
comparable to diamonds; each one of these lines
is like a clmplel of pearls. We trust in God
; that it will he entirely successful, and will be like
tbe sub, which illuminates the whole earth.”
Beat this who can, that, “ like tho sun,” they
may illuminate the whole earth t
j Southern Tei.kuiiai’h Company.—A new
'telegraph company, witli the above name, and
Gen. E. Kirby Brnith as its President, lias been
Q organized with a capital of 960,000, and is push
ing ahead with considerable vigor. It will con
nect Cincinnati and St. Louis with New Orleans
aud Mobile. At Cincinnati it will connect witli
Ithe Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company,
ad with Uninsulated Lino will make a con
found line from Canada io the Gulf of Alexico,
1 competing so far with the Western Union. OvJf
*|50,000 of tbe stock has been taken by the mer-
jhants of I^uieville and Cincinnati interested in
be completion of this line.
MiUcdgcville, on tho 15th proximo, in accord
ance with the mtlico given In anothor column by
Judge Niabet, President of the Board.
The question of retnovnl will be discussed on
that occas|osi, and, wo presume, definitely net
tled. Should it bo decided to remove tho Uni
versity from its proseut location, tho Board will
f Hbcood ut once, we suppose, to determine where
t shall go j whether to Atlanta, Macon, Colum
bus, Augusta, Montgomery, or elsewhere. Wo
think there are reasons of great wolght for plac
ing Bat Atlanta; but wo must postpone the con
sideration of these until next week.
Tho above paragraph, from our religious con
temporary nt Columbia, South Carolina, should
at once awaken tho authorities nnd people ot
Atlanta to the importance of the proposed re
moval of Oglclhoipo Univi rally from its present
site, near Milledgovtlie. It tho question of re
moval shall lie definitely settled on the 15lli of
llio present month, it may tie worth wliilo to con
sider the matter, so far as Atlanta is concerned
qt once. Tho point for ita location should lie
determined upon, on substantial grounds, and
not upon mere leniixirary considerations. Para
mount of any oilier ground should he the health
of tho proposed locality, for where Ihc youth of
our country arc to l>c sent Irom the guardianship
of home and friends, nothing would lie more
fatal to the success of a University tliau to es-
tabUsii It at some plaeo where, during any part
of tho year, the students would lie unable to re
main. Next in importance, in making a selec
tion, would be a locution whore tho growth and
population, present and prospective of the city,
would, of itself, furnish a supply of students
sufficient to contribute largely to the mainte
nance nml success ot the institution.
Should Atlanta tic selected, the Trustees would
find both of these considerations fully realised.
Ils health is undispuluhlo, nnd surpasses Hint ot
any city in the Soulliern States of its size. The
population is already large, and the continuous
increase rapid, promising, in the not distant fu
ture, a field of labor in the matter ol education
of vast extent, nnd yielding a rich harvest. In
deciding upon n new site for tho University, this
is a practical point of unquestionable importance
which should have great inlliiencc in determin
ing the whole matter.
Tho establishment of the University in this
city cannot but result in immediate nnd great
benefits, in its moral, literary nml intellectual
nspects. Atlanta greatly wants such an institu
tion to clevalo her standard, aud her citizens
could secure no greater instrumentality (or such
an object than to bring a University to the city.
Tho pecuniary benefits, though they will he
large, are hut secondary, and we would urge
our public-spirited and far-sighted business men
not to overlook this opportunity ol drawing to
our midst an influential adjunct to the future ad
vancement ot our community.
Wc should be glad to sec the municipal au
thorities, and our friends Peters, Grant, Hayden,
Rawson, and others, lend off in this movement,
nnd get up some feasible proposition to be pre
sented to the Trustees of Oglethorpe University,
by which they can be induced to remove that
institution ol learning to our city.
State Netvn.
Tiik Augusta Constitutionalist ot Sunday says:
On Friday evening n horrible outrage was com
mitted upon the person of a little girl about
thirteen years ot age—the daughter of a respect
able citizen of Augusta—by a limn, probably
fifty years of age, named Spousiler, doing busi
ness on Ellis street, near Air. Delioney’s stable.—
The brute wns Committed to jail; hail was offer
ed, hut refused by the magistrates.
At the Widow’s Fair, held at Savannah a
few days ago, the receipts amounted to two thou
sand dollars.
The Columbus papers state that the price of
corn lias advanced tlivi-u to two dollars per
bushel.
The Columbus Sun of Suuday says: On yes
terday a man and a “ brother," a black one of
course, met a “ boy iu blue ” on the sidewalk.—
In attempting to pass, lie oi tbe ebon lute acci
dently jostled tbe man ot war, consequence, the
man ol war raised a club which lie sported in
his hand, and smashed the already not too pro-
tuberent nose of the “nation's ward,” causing the
claret to flow freely. Our noble defender may
thank his stars that his clothes are blue instead
of gray, for otherwise the " Bureau” and “ Civil
Rights Bill” would smash him.
The Savannah Republican, of Saturday, says ;
The United States Circuit Court met yester
day morning pursuant to adjournment, and took
up the case of David Banks, Jr., vs. John Ryan,
an action iu assumpsit to recorerthe amount due
on three promissory notes, made by defendant
payable to bearer, for the sum ot five thousand
two hundred and titty dollars. These three notes
■Were gi”cn in 18(111, as half payment for a tract
of land in Georgia, the other'half of the pur
chase money having been paid in Confederate
money at the time ot the purchase.
It wns admitted that lliese notes were trans
ferred to the bearer utter they had become due,
and the defendant essayed to prove by a witness
that the land was not worth in legal money the
amount for which it was sold. This testimony
was objected to by plaintiff, and sustained by the
court, Judgo Erskine holding that the notes be
ing payable to bearer, did not lose their negotia
file qualities by being transferred when overdue,
that it was true the plaintiff here took the notes
aguiust the maker, subject to all the equities
arising from the miles themselves, hut not from
any collateral matter; that notwithstanding as
between the original parties to these notes, the
consideration could he inquired into, yet the ac
tion between the maker anil the bearer cannot
be defeated by showing that an insufficient con
sideration or that no consideration passed Irom
the payer to the maker. And such, lie said, is
the commercial law in England and in this
country. Alter some further remarks the Judge
instructed the jury tn find for the plaintiff, which
they accordingly did.
AIaoiiox, of the Fort Valley Ornette, says: Two
things to be avoided, gilt jewelry distributions
and fishing parties on Flint river. A friend ol
ours tried the former, and we the latter lastTues
day night, and botli worsted—he lost his money
and we were caught in the storm’without shel
ter.
Bourn Carolina.—The Edgefield Advertiser
says: From more than oue section of our Dis
trict wo have heard very encouraging accounts
of the wheat crop—or rather oi the growing
wheat. And yesterday, a geutleman, all the way
from Laurens, who has passed down through
Laurens, Abbevillo and Edgcfild, told us that the
growing wheat aud oats, along his entire route,
are finer, more flourishing, nnd more promising
tliau lie has ever known them. He says that the
oldest men in most all sections hold this opinion.
The Fiiuitb of Bhownlowism.—A writer in
the Knoxville Commercial, of the 3d, gives the
following item in regard to Browulow’s militia:
A Air. Chambers, of Scott county, has been
for several weeks trying to make up a company
nnnnis
_ saw, in a Georgia newspaper, a short time
since, a recommendation to Cultural Point to pro
hibit the administration of Justice iu the courts
of tho country, by not allowing the enforcement
of rout!nets in compelling the payment of just
debts. Not being acquainted’with Goncrnl Po(hi,
I knew not what affect such a recommendation
might havo upon blm. But I have just road ids
letter of the 22d nit., to Governor Jenkins, and
am pleased to find in it the following words:—
“The object of recognizing it (tho 'Slato Gov
ernment of Georgia,’) at all was only time the
ordinary course of business in the civil tribunals,
and the administration of the laws of the Suite by
the customary agencies, might not be interrupted
further than was neecssary for the strict exapution
of the laws of tho United Stntcs." "Tlio 'exist
ing Slato Government was permitted to stand
for the convenience of the people of Georgia, in the
ordinary administration of the -local civil laws, amt
to that end it should lie carefully confined.”—
(The italics arc mine.) Tltcro assurances—
pledges—thus formally given by General Pope
to tlio people of Georgia, will not ho violated by
him. IIo lias the character of a soldier and a
gentleman, nnd his word will stand. For ho
will never find it" necessary for the strict execution
of the laws of the United States’’ to take
nwny the "the convenience of the people of
Georgia, in the ordinary administration of the
loculcivil laws," aud to prohibit, as lie is asked to
do, "the ordinary course of business in the civil tri
bunals, and the administration of the laws of the
State by the customary agencies."
Wlmt opinion must General Pope have of
man who publicly requests him to violule the
solemu assurances he lias so recently made to
the people of Georgia? Has any oue, can any
show that it is "necessary for the strict execution
of the laws of the United Slates,” to - prohibit
"the ordinary administration of the local civil
laivs" by tho courts of the State, and to prevent
the enforcement of honest contracts between
limn and man ? Such a necessity will never ex
ist—unless it be, porhaps, in the mind of some
one who desires and is courting an ephemeral
popularity. I cannot perceive how General
Po|>e, who is a soldier, anil whose unstained
honor is more priceless than life, can treat with
respect any one who desires him to disregard his
assurances nnd violate his pledges.
But I may lake a wrong view of this matte:
If I do, I hope you will set me right, while
others will pardon me. O. P.
GhkatCuyand Little Wool.—The New
York Times, Republican, thinks Air. Wilson’i
missionary labors in in the South are not likely
to prove profitable. It says :
Senator Wilson’s Southern tour seems to bo
ease ot great cry and little wool. The flock sur
rounds him, but there is -no cheering done, nnd
he is likely to come hack empty-handed. The
blacks listen to him, but wonder wlmt all the
pother is about. Tlio whites let him alone, and
nave not paid him the compliment of getting
angry at anything he tins said. He has rated
them to liis heart’s content, and they hear him
witli civility, if not witli respect, and then Mr.
Wilson packs up his stock ol platitudes aud dia
tribes nnd takes himself oft uunoticed to the next
town. It seems rather dull sort of work. It is
not, we may be sure, exactly what the Senator
bargained lor. II there had been a disturbance
anywhere what a theme it would have supplied
him with—what a martyr lie would havo return
ed! As it is, he comes back in the position ot
one who thought to move the universe, and finds
that he has not made so much stir ns a gadfly in
Summer. The Southern people soon found out
that it was not an earthquake or a whirlwind
which hud come among them, but only a reed
shaken by the wind. And we say that tills is
very discouraging for poor Air. Wilson, and wc
hope he will bear up bravely under his adver
allies.
aud upon Thursday last, the 25th ultimo, they
assembled at Huutsville to complete the organi
zation ot the company by tbe election of officers.
After the election the defeated parties, who ap
pear to not be satisfied with 'he result, com
menced a dispute. It appears to havo been a
general melee; a promiscuous fight; some til-
teen or twenty persons engaged In it. One man,
a Air. Newport, was killed on the ground ; a Air.
Pennington had his skull bully fractured, and
is iu a very critical condition. Some eight or
ten otliers were more or less injured by the pro
miscuous flying through tho air of sticks, Biones,
bullets, ete.
One of the Victims.—" Alajor ” S. W-
Wood, who made a grand Uourish in the Nortli
three years ago, as the pretended hero of an es
cape from a Southern military prison, iu which
he alleged he had been confined as a Union spy,
having been condemned to death, etc., was ar
rested in Chicago, on Alonday of last week,
charged with forgery.
Evert County.—It is stated that one of the
political missionaries, hired by the Red Repub
lican party to convert tho South to radicalism,
will commence bis labors at Macon and visit
every county in tbe Bute.
The New AIayou of Augusta.—We find
the paragraph below in the Augusta Constitution
alist of Sunday, credited to tho I/>yal Georgian
of that city, a paper conducted by Iraedmcn :
General Pope has appointed Hon. Foslc
Blodgett Mayor oi this city. Ho lias taken the
oath of office, and enters at once into tho active
duties of his new position.
We had a pleasant Interview witli Air Blodgett
in our office yesterday, nnd were gratilied to hear
hint express himself, unqualified, as n member of
the great Union Reptlblican party of this coun
try. We doubt not bo intends to administer tho
affairs of our city government impartially, know
lug no distinction ns to race or color.
Wo believe in tlio Congressional rcconstr.,..-
tion plan, and we are glail to sec men appointed
to office who will do everything in tiieir power
to hasten the time when nil the States can again
be represented in the National Government.
Such a man Air. Blodgett claims to be, and w_
trust he will havo the hearty support ol all
Union men.
The Bai.timoke Election.—The Sun says
ol the recent judical election in Baltimore:
The election wus conducted witli perfc„.
quietude and order notwithstanding there were
three parties in the field, with the active adherents
oi each, as usual, making effort in behalf of their
candidates. All understand, clearly enough
wlmt now insures this good order on such oc
casions. It is the fact that citizens generally arc
once more Invested with tho attributes of free-
men; are once more in possession of their just
right of the elective franchise, and that tlie
usurping audacity of a factious minority, which
would arrogate to itself all power, is no longei
aide to tyranize over and proscribe the majority,
Hence, peace hath come, and the very elements
which heretofore promoted dissatisthetion and
strife cannot but recognize the advantage wide
the community has thus guiued.
Cohn ! Cohn I! Cohn 11!—In its commercial
column, the Louisville Courier, of a recent dale,
speaking of corn, makes tho following very
timely and judicious remarks in regard to it:
These extreme high rates of corn ought greatly
to stimulate the production, as it is an undispu
ted fact that corn at one dollar per bushel is the.
most lucrative crop ever grown by tho farmer.—
It requires less real manual labor, or actual ex
pense, trouble or risk than any oilier crop, and
our advice now to Nortli as well as South is to
grow corn. The past, or rather tho present
crop has been repeatedly stated to be the largest
over reaped in the country, yet to-day a bushel of
corn, even in this market, which is now the
cheapest, cannot he purchased lor less than one
dollar ami five cents per bushel, including the
sacks,”
Heroism.—" There is a heroism that scales
the walls ol forts amid the cannon’s sulphurous
smoke, but how often lias this been done by
men wlio have been bought like cattle, in the
shambles; but there is, to our mind, a nobler,
aud often a wiser heroism even, which will not
yield a principle, though a prison door opens on
the one side and the blandishments of wealth
fie iu tempting array upon the other. We hold
no man worthy of any particular honor fur ad
hering to liis convictions, lor it is no more than
his simple duty; hut a manifest departure from
sucli a course deserves swift aud earnest con
demnation."
The Head Center.—It is stated in the New
\ ork Ray Rook that Head Center Stephens is
said to lie flourishing in Paris, and is the observ
ed of all observers on the fashionable drives.—
This age seems to be prolific in scoundrels on
both sides of the Atlantic, who rob the people of
tbeir money and tbeu laugh iu their faces. But
tlipn, what asses the people are, to lie tooled iu
tills way!
An Outhaok and Abuest —On Tuesday last
fifteen negro men were arrested near Florence,
under the following circumstances: Some two
weeks since Air. W. Z. Wingate was way-laid
uear his home (below Florence) by an organized
band of negro men and taken to tbe woods to
be tiling; by begging and promising, Air. Win
gate was released, after giving up all his mouey
—some 950. This gang was regularly organized
with officers, and tbe matter being reported to
•lie commandant ol the post, the above number
of them were arrested aud are now in confine
ment here.—Darlington Southerner.
Alabama.—A radical writer in the Huntsville
Advocate suggests the name of Tom. Glasscock,
of Alontgomery, as the Union candidate for
Goteruor. Among other arguments adduced in
his behalf is the fact that wheD Alabama seceded
Thomas burst into tears aud continued to shed
them copiously throughout tbe war.
RECOVERY OF TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA AND
MARCH ON WASHINGTON. *
At a public dinner in San Luis I’otosi recently,
Gen. Mariano Hsqobodo rnado a speech Clmrac-
torlstlo of a vain glorious Liberal chieftain, in re
sponse to a toast. The General is reported to
have said:
"Wo are the sous of God aud Liberty. It wl*
our prowess that drovo tho Spaniards from our
sol). It wns our prowess that drovo tlio dotested
Gringos from III« Hailscf Montezuma, nndex-
pollcd thorn from our libmcg. It wiut mir prowess
that expelled llie arrogant French, mid sent them
across the great waters trembling with fear; nnd
it is our prowess Hint will take the head from
evory traitor’s shoulders.
“When we shall have slinkcti tho fetters from
our limbs, our prowess will point to the recovery
of California, ulugnlljr sold by traitors, nml tho
establishment ot our boundary line to Hie Sabine.
Then wc wifi march up to Washington City and
ask tlio Gringos wliat they have been about, and
we wifi make them hunt their holes like nils.”
Ami tlds Escobedo is one of tlm especial Lilio.
rnl pets of tho United States Government. lie
is a terrible follow, and slays ids enemies, Samp
son-like, with tlio jaw-bone of nn ass.
Bitrrisii Honduras.—'The people in British
Honduras aro greatly disturbed with Indian
raids. A writer to one ol tlio New York papers
snysol these invasions by the aborigines: "Wlmt
we want is n body of men like your 'Texas ran
gcra, who can find and whip an Indian. One ol
the largest land holders hits offered one hundred
acres ot land to each actual settler. The latest
Indian raid was at Gltlnneygrass, where they
took several persons. They come across the
Rio Hondo, and return before wo know they are
here, and as tho English Government will m-
aliow us to InVaifr thc’soil of Alexico, they si
us at defiance."
Solomon.—An exchange thinks that Solomon
meant to rebuke men like the Radicals of Ameri
ca when he said: "These six things Jotli God
hate; yen seven are nn abomination unto him
A proud look; a lying tongue ; bauds Hint shed
innocent blood; a heart that dcsireth wicked im
aginations ; feet tlml be swift in running to mis
chief; a false witness that speaketh lies; and
him that sowetli discord among brethren.” Isn’t
tiiat last just what Air. Wilson, of Alassachusetts
is now doing ?
Ex-Governor Perry.—Ex-Governor Perry
oi South Carolina, lias written and published
another letter, in which he advises the people of
that State, who are not disfranchised, to go (or
ward and register, nnd then vote “ No Con veil
lion.” lie says it is the only way to preserve
the peace, maintain honor, aud prevent conlisca
lion and a division of lands among flic negroes.
The Question.—It is asked: If Congress iu
tended in good faith to admit the Southern
States when certain condilious had been com
plied witli, why did it not authorize the I’rcsi
dent to announce their admission, os in the cose
of Nebraska, when the event bail taken place ?
Can any one answer?
AIoue Territory.—There is said to he a
movement lor independence in that part of Brit
ish America known as the Red River country
lying North of Dakota, and subject nt present to
tho control or the Hudson Hay fur company. It
has n population of ten thousand, and does nearly
all its trading with Alinncsoln.
New Orleans.—The total number of regis
tered voters in the parislt of Orleans under tlio
new law up to Tuesday evening, the 30th ultimo
acconliug to the official list furnished General
Sheridan, was 10,(190. Of these 8087 arc blacks,
and 2012 whites.
Pennsylvania Kelley.—Judge Kelley 1ms
started on his Southern tour. lie proposes to
visit Nashville, Alempbis, Vicksburg and New
Orleans nml return to his home via the seaboard
Republican Convention.—A Republican
Convention lias been called to meet in Charles
ton to-day. The Palmetto Shite seems to ho
moving pretty rapidly.
Eminent Jurists.—Judge Curtis and Judg
Comstock, two of the most learned jurists of our
country, have recently written letters pointing
out Hie illegality nml tlio enormity of tho Con
gressional “Reconstruction bill.”
Murder.—A negro man; bearing the fearful
name of Butler, shot and killed another negro
man at Memphis on Thursday night last. Cause,
jealousy.
Aid for the South.—New York has thus far
contributed 9170,000 for the floulh, Boston over
9-13,000, and Philadelphia 987,398.

ty—a gain ot 200 since lost year.

The Injunction Cases.
Washington, May 0.—Mr. Stanberry closed
the argument in the Georgia nnd Mississippi in
junction cases. He spokonsto general princi
ples, denying tlio jurisdiction of tho court. There
was in the cases no basis of properly on which
relief could he given. Only two .of tlio ten
States affected were here. It was not known
but eight were content. The Attorney General
argued that the Supreme Court was in the hands
of Congress, which might so net ns to destroy
the efficiency of tlio court by impeaching its
Judges on fulse accusations, or by denying the
salaries requisite for their support. It rested
with the people to secure honesty of the legisla
ture, and to this basis we must look for the pre
servation ol tlio rights of citizenship and tlio
integrity of the States.
Tho court adjourned immediately on the close
ol the argument.
Washington matters.
Washington, May 0.—Tho Supreme Court in
the case of Gray Jacket nud cargo, affirmed the
decisions of the lower court condemning her ns
n prize. The court held there was no proof
llmt claimant was not of the class excepted by
the proclamation of the President, of December
8,18U3. His own affidavits tire not sufficient to
establish the negative required to bo proven.—
Botli the proclamation und the statute oi July
17th, 1802, are silent ns to maratinic captures
like the present, but the proclamation wifi not
bo held in any case to extinguish the liability of
a vessel and cargo running the blockade and
seized in the act of so doing.
The court also held that there is no ground for
an order of further proof. The claimant lias
forfeited his right to 3uch an order by fraud, nnd
the evidence ns it exists is sntifnetory to the
court. Tho order of the Secretary of the Treaa
ury remitting the forfeiture docs not effect the
case, and if lie. docs so liis nets arc void. The
cose has no feature which recommends it to the
court, or whicli redeems it in any respect.—
Lower court decisions, the cases being the Dash
ing Ware aud the bark Science, both from the
district of Louisiana, confirmed. The decree ol
the same court in tho case of the brig Valomtc
reversed. Restitution ordered iu the case of the
bark Prisetta, from the same court, decree affirm
ed, and the court ordered tho captors to pay
costs nnd expenses.
Department advices indicate the present to be
