Gerrit Smllh In «h« Notsth
The Now York Herald, in a scathing article
upon Senator Wilson, Congressman Kelley, nml
other Northern oratore In the South, says: “ Wo
think Okurit Smith would do a great deal of
good were be to follow those other speakers
throughout the South, and we commend him to
do sa" Wo regret that wo cannot approve, or
commend, the foregoing suggestion, moderate,
magnanimous, and just, as Gcrrll Smith Is, when
compared to the “ Northern orators ” who have
traversed the South, declaiming to, and exciting
the froedmen. In justice to Mr. Kelley, how
ever, we must say, that, at this place, bis speech
was other than lie has boon represented as male
Ing at Mobile. But such speeches as have been
made by other Northern orators, havo had any
but a good cflcct, whether we consider them a*
bearing upon the reconstruction question
upon the quiet, the peace of the country, or
upon the relations that should exist between the
white and the black races In the South. Moat
seriously detrimental to the agricultural Interests
of the South do the party harangues of Northern
men who have recently addressed the freed men
of the South, operate. From their labors on the
farm, they are drawn by hundreds, at a time,
too, when “ bread" It the cry eveiywhere, and
famine stares our people in the face. The loss
of labor consequent upon these addresses of
Northern orators, la a serious calamity. In a
political sense, too, they have thus far done
harm, if that may bo considered harm which
interferes seriously with the orderly conduct of
both white and black in their submission to
what Is required of them by congressional enact
ments, and the military authorities who arc in our
midst to enforce them. For tho sako, it not of peace
and order, for the sake of the orowinq crop,
let us have no more stump speaking, no more
radical orators, no more radical speeches, or
speeches of any kind, not even speeches from
Gerrit Smith. We believe that General Pope
himself, would bear testimony to the fact that
the work of reconstruction which ho is placed
In his district to direct, did not require the aid of
Northern radical orators to consummate to the
very letter of the law. If there can be a more
law-abiding people—a people more resolved to
submit to what is required by the recent con
gressional enactments, which military power
and authority are sent to enforce—than there are
in General Pope’s district, wo do not know
where they are to be found. There can bo
plaifid no greater obstacle in tho way of peace
ful andorderlycomplinnce with the provisions of
the congressional enactments, than tho presence
of radical stump speakers in our Slate. AVo
pray them to pass us by in silence, that labor may
progress, political excitement bo subdued, and
strife between the two races be avoided. It
would be well too, we think, if Southern radical
orators would let the freedmeu alone to attend
to those pursuits by which they may cam a
living, and feed their families, rather than feed
them upon political party harangues the day in,
and the night out, ns it were, as somo of them
have been doing, if we have not been misin
formed. Let us have no more speaking! AVhcn
the wheat and the corn harvests shall have pass
ed awaj we shall have no objection to hear
Gerrit Smith, or even “Old Horace” himself.
We would even make one of an audience to
hear “ Old Bennett,” of tho Herald, for, by that
time, we have no doubt he will bo working to
undo much of the harm he has done to the South
and her people.
Tho Bankrupt Acl.
The Bankrupt Act goes into eflcct by the 1st
of June, If the Kegisters and Commissioners
shall by that time have been duly appointed and
qualified. Much business will be done under the
Bankrupt Act for a year to come at any rate.—
The United States Marshals will receive large
emoluments under it Some say that the United
States Marshal lor Louisiana will receive a hun
dred thousand dollars. Commissioners in oomr»
States will make twenty thousand dollars.
Tlie Bankrupt Act will have the cflect to throw
a large number ot persona and cases into the
Federal Courts. This will operate in the South
ern States in favor, as is supposed, of the Federal
Union. Tho people for some six years were
quite alien to theso courts, but now they will bo
made familiar with them again.
Repudiation of the Public Debt—'The
New York Tribune gives publication to a long
communication from a correspondent, advising
and urging the remission, or forgiveness, os lie
styles it, of the whole Federal debt, and he rea
sons that in the cost of' provisions, clothes, rent,
etc., tho whole country will gain by it:
“ In the straightforwardness of General Grant
(he says) I ‘ propose that the next legislators in
any Butte, os well as the next Congress of all tho
States, add the next President of the United
States, ahull all he put on n platform involving
this element of the remission of the National
debt. Let each belong to this benevolent society,
and let each be sworn to the support of its prin
ciples, und then let the issue go before tho peo
ple”
We don’t suppose any considerable portion of
the people of the United States contemplate, at
this time, repudiation of the public debt, but al
lusion to it in the prints Is becoming frequent
Enough to set them to thinking on the subject,
and by-and-by the politicians will appropriate it
os a rallying cry, and then.
. Rights of the Colored People at New
Orleans.—The Mayor ol New Orleans has is
sued a proclamation dellnlng the privileges of
the negroes, with respect to their rights ot access
to theaters, public halls, bar rooms, &c. The
decision of the Mayor excludes them from these
places, except by the permission of the owners
pr proprietors thereof. Tuo following is tho
' closing portion of the proclamation:
1, Edward Heath, Mayor of the city of New
| Orleans, do hereby issue tills my proclamation,
calling upon all citizens to bo peacetui and law-
abiding, aud do hereby publicly make it known
1 that I havo instructed tho polico force ot New
Orleans to protect ail citizens in their lawful bu-
* siness occupations, and to prevent all persona
I whatever from intruding into any store, shop,
| or any other place of business conducted by pri-
* vate individuals, against the consent and wish of
the owners, proprietors, or keepers of tho same;
and warn all persons so doing that they will be
t arrested and dealt witb according to law.
Truly So.—The Louisville Journal says the
. white people of the South being manacled hand
S and foot and tongue the Radical apostles of the
North, backed by the Federal army, go among
1 them to insuit them and stir up strife between
r mem and the blacks. The outrage is akin to
i shooting defenseless prisoners ol war in their
i dungeons. AVhen Samson’s eyes were out, and
<•' his strength was gone, he was employed to
i "make sport for the Philistines.” But the Phi
listines found it in the end a had speculation.
Doubtful—The report current on the streets
yesterday, tfrtit the Hon. Kelley, who addressed
If; a crowd of loyal black people, and a very few
whites, on last Monday, had been telegraphed by
the Radical committee North to cease speaking
at once, and return to his home. We tried to
trace the report to an authentic source, and fail
ed to do so.
Fees Reduced.—We see by a special notice
in the Montgomery papers, that the physicians
of that city hjve reduced their fees to customary
i charges when “times were good." The scarcity
of money Is the cause of this reduction. As sick
men never ask the cost, the conduct of the phy-
: slcians in this instance is highly commendable.

Memphis, May SO, 1987.
Last Friday and Saturday wore the occasion
of tho greatest political excitement and enthusi
asm that has occn witnessed In • Southern Btato
since 1860-01. According to appointment Mr.
Etheridge, at 11 A. M., Friday morning, amid
the deafoning shouts ol 0,000 to 8,000 persons, as
cended the stand In court square, to address his
fellow-citizens on the Issues of tho day, as the
Conservative candidate for Governor of this
State. He amnsed, as well as edified the crowd
for threo hours and a half, a fact well attested
by the attentiveness of his hearers, who only In
terrupted him fry frequent bursts of applause,
which made tho air ring throughout the length
and breadth of the city, and forcibly re
minded one of the good old days of yore, when
the “wool hat" boys of Northern Georgia would
turn out to honor the presence of a McDonald,
a Troup, or a Towns, among them. Imme
diately upon the dose of Mr. Etheridge’s speech,
AV. B. Stokes, one of our Radical candidates for
Congress, rose to reply, which occupied two
hours. After which Mr. Etheridge again took
the stand, speaking until full dark. On Satur
day night, Mr. Stokes opened in a speech of two
hours’ duration in the Greenlaw Opera House,
and was followed by Mr. Etheridge for the same
length of time. The building was filled to over
flowing, and the cheering powerful. On both
occasions an unusually largo number of ladles
were present At the speaking on Friday many
negroes were eager listeners to both gentlemen.
At the dose of Mr. Etheridge’s speech Saturday
night, he offered a bonus of $100 dollars to Mr.
Stokes, if he would continue with him through
the canvass. The offer was quickly accepted by
the latter, who walked up and they shook hands
on the stage. If money ia any object in the
matter, he might well afford to give him thou
sands, for he has so decidedly the advantage of
the Radical Stokes on every point, that ho can
not fail to impress it on any crowd they may ad
dress. Such was the result of tho discussioDB of
those two days in this city, and I am satisfied if
every free American white man would be al
lowed to vote next August, the Radical vote
would bo but a “drop In the bucket.” It is im
possible, however, to estimate the negro
vote. To hear them talk, large numbers
of them are Conservative, but the lladl
cals ore known to be daily dragging them
into their “leagues,” and binding them by every
manner of oatha or threats. Some fears were en
tertained of a riot during this discussion, and the
Brownlow-police were out in large numbers to
lend a helping hand. I am happy to record
they were sadly disappointed, as everything
passed ofi with remarkably good feeling on both
sides. The riot at Brownsville, some days ago,
was undoubtedly the work of Brownlow’s emis
saries, for the purpose of making capital. AVe
are looking daily for the. appearance of ono of
bis “ironclads" in “our waters.”
The past week has also been one of religious
excitement. I gave you iu my last some account
of tho meeting of the Southern Baptist Conven
tion. They adjourned the labors of the session
last Tuesday morning, and on the same day the
Annual Convention of tho Episcopal Church for
the Dioccae of Tennessee, met in Dr. White’
(Calvary) Church. Bishop Quintard, and some
eighteen parishes were represented. Tho Bish
op’s opening address was a very interesting
document, dwelling at length on the important
subjects of Ritualism, and the religious instruc
tion and care of the freedmen, and denouncing
the lottery aystem, which lias become of late
such a general means of raising funds for church
aud benevolent purposes. The convention ad
Joumed Friday, having finished the business of
the session. During the past year there were
200 children and adults baptized, 618 confirmed,
and one ordained to the Priesthood in tho Dio-
of tho caiso In
oHntarmation from all
ovldeut the political i
storm through which wo are likely to reap a
whirlwind. The negroes would have boon quiet,
rejoicing In their new-born freedom, and would
have gone to work cultivating the soil and 1m-
: moving their condition, bad they been let alone.
; 7ow that their passions and cupidity have been
aroused, they are looking lor confiscation, and a
distribution ot the lands among them, exemption
from labor, and elevation to positions they are
totally unprepared to oocupy. Hostility between
ilackvand whites is the natural consequence;
of the South, It la
I tutors are sowing the
WjjMB ,
houce we soothe former congregating'in the
towns, making violent and armed demonstra
tions, and tho latter alarmed and excited. Can
we wonder, then, that such riots as we havo re
ferred to occur? Or should we be surprised if
worse were to follow ? We saw In the case of
Kansas what troublo tbo rivalry for political as
cendancy created; but tho bloody drama there,
with all its disturbing consequences throughout
the rest of the country, was a small affair com
pared with what wo may oxpeot to see In the
iouth, if a solution be not found for the difficul
ties of that section.
If the North will keep Its Wilsons, Kelleys,
and other propagandists out of tho South, much
of the evil it speaks of would be avoided.
Alas, Poor Vlymi.
Mrs. Jane L. Swissbelm, the ferocious and for
midable female Bohemian, is after U. S. with the
sharpest kind of an instrument. In her last let
ter to the new radical organ at New Orleans,
Mrs. 8. says:
General Grant, being a democrat and au open
sympathizer with slavery, tho cause of the war
was, In pursuance of our kid-glove war policy, re
tained Iu command through blunders which
would havo secured the disgrace of any radical
general. He used the material prepared by Fre
mont for clearing the Mississippi, and for pre
paring which Fremont was superseded. He ex
hibited a dogged perseverancoo in using that final
argument in war, the longest purse and most
men; but he never made a brilliant move
ment, or once out-manceuvered the enemy.
In hia Richmond campaign ho crossed the
Rappahannock just as Burnside and Hooker
did, and fought Lee at the greatest possible
disadvantage; but as he hurled his men against
one earthwork after another, and they were
slaughtered by the thousands, the government
poured in army after army to bis aid, until Lee,
wore out as he was, was not able to kill them
all, and the survivors took Richmond.
We hopo the illustrious General has not been
guilty of snubbing Mrs. S. in any way. It
would have been better to put his loot in a
wolf-trap.
Maryland.
The AVashlngton correspondent ot the Charles
ton Courier writes :
The Radicals of Maryland, white and black,
manifest an earnestness and boldness in their
movements that would be surprising if we did
not know that they were backed by Northern
aid and sympathy. At the next elections in that
State they proclaim a triumph in advance. They
will not lack all the material aid that may be
wanting for success. Maryland cannot stand
out long against the Radical influence and Radi
cal ideas, without very active and early aid from
the whole South, and such aid can only be given
by the representation of the whole Bouth in Con
gress, as an independent body.
The Bame writer adds:
No one believes that the South is coming Into
Congress under any party shackles. Senator
Wilson affects a belief that the South will be
radical. Some others, like H. V. Johnson, of
Georgia, think with him. It the South should
unfortunately come In as ally to the Radicals or
to the Democrats, wo shall be all at sea again.
North Carolina.
There Is something the matter among tho
“ loyal ” In what used to bo the old North State
—something that excites the alarm of that sent!
uel on the radical watchtower, Holden of the
Raleigh Standard. He says:
Wo would deprecate any cstr&ngcmeut or 111
feeling between any portion of the Unionist or
Republicans of this State. We must avoid
jealousies and bickerings, and cultivate the most
friendly relations. The Union seed is too pre
cious to be trampled under foot. We have no
strength to spare. Let us stand together like a
wall of iron. Our enemies are formidable in
numbers, aud cemented together by hntrul to
our principles and to the Union. AVe can van
quish them only by acting in perfect concert. If
we would maintain our principles, restore the
Union, and bring quiet and prosperity to this
people, we must stand togethor. “ United we

will show a Blight Increase iu the debt, owing to
the payment ot $25,000,000 interest; and fight
revenue receipts, only about $15,000,000 for tho

the income tax Is then due.
Statements of a probable meeting of Congress
in July to meet tho difficulties are mere specula

pects a meeting for such purpose,as tho Treasury
will require no relief.
On the 10th tho General Assembly of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church met in tho

The meeting is a large ono, ministers from vari

tant business is being transacted, and they will
not adjourn until some time during the present
week.
Nearly all the churches of the various denomi
nations in this city have held or arc still holding
lairs, festivals, tableaux, etc., for their benefit.
They have proved a moat agreeable pastime to
tho members, and in many instances large sumB
have !(ecn realized. One very popular mode,
and it is always successful iu raising a large
amount of greenbacks, at these fairs, is to put
up some valuablo present to be given to the
most popular bank president, Confederate gene
ral, editor, insurance company, or fastest boat

Memphis is closed for the season, and wo have

let” at the New Memphis last Friday night, and

Horrible Accident.—Two young girls and
a negro woman, were killed at Quincy, Florida,
a few eveuinga ago by the explosion of a cau
filled with kerosene oil. The young girls were
filling a lamp from the con, the negro standing
by with a llghtwood torch, wheu the oil became
ignited and there was an Instant explosion, blow
ing out both heads of the cau, and completely
saturating the girls with the burning fluid. The
terrible work was then doue, speedily burning
the poor victims horribly, from head to foot.—
Every particle of clothing, except their shoes,
was burned to a cinder. They lingered in agony
for an hour or two, and died within five minutes
of each other.
Threatening.—The Eoening Pott, in the
course of a would-be inflammatory diatribe
against Jefierson Davis, says:
Let his friends, of whom he appears to have
some in high pluces, warn him to be prudent—
He has no ouslness here; he lias no right to walk
our streets. Let him slink away over by-roads,
in a close carriage, to some obscure and unknown
spot, and there hide himself.
Savannah.—The Savannah Republican of the
21st Bays:.Quite a fleet of sailing vessels have
entered that port in the last few days, all loaded
with full and valuable cargoes of assorted mer
chandise. Their arrival has filled the wharves
with shipping, and tbe work along the dock in
connection with tbe discharging of tho various
craft goes briskly on.
A Prophecy.—A minister of the Presbyte
rian church at Mississippi City writes a letter to
the Preebyterian Index, prophesying that tho
millenium is near at hand, will In fact come upon
the world some time in the month of November,
1868. ^ ^
Florida Land Offices Consolidated.—
The St. Augustine, Newnansvllle and Tampa
Bay land offices are to be consolidated at Talla
hassee, Florida.
A Hoke fob Mr. Davis.—The Mlaslssippians
are inaugurating a movement to ralso means to
purchase a homo for Mr. Davis, at the capital
of tbe Slate.
Struck by Lightning.—About 8 o’clock last
night there was a vivid streak ol lightning, fol
lowed almost Instantaneously by a very severe
clap of thunder, which wo felt sure had struck
somowhere near our office, in tho heart of the
city. AVe Boon afterward learned that tho elec
tric fluid wna discharged under tho porch oi 8t.
Michael's Church, m Meeting street, in the
midst of a group of ladies and gentlemun, who
were standing there at the time out of the rain,
and waiting lor the care. Our informant, who
was of the nurobei, stated that the fluid burned
the shoes of several of the persons, set fire to
the dreescss of two or three ladies, and hurled
one of the gentlemon into the middle of the
street. Strange to say no Injury was sustained
by any of tho parties, as far aa wo could learn,
beyond the shock, and a slight singeing ; one of
the most miraculous escapes we have ever heard
of— Charlatan Hnet.
A Solid Shot.—The Baltimore American
strikes back at those Radical sheets North which
are carping about enfranchising the negroes in
Maryland. It says:
We shall feel more acutely, when reproached
by Ohio, New York, aud Pennsylvania papers
for not having given the elective franchise to our
recently emancipated slaves when it was in our
power to do so, after Ohio, New York, and Penn
sylvania shall have enfranchised those who were
horn and domiciled among them aa freemen and
citizens.
Impeachment.—A AVashlngton special to the
Now York Timet says: “it has transpired in the
impeachment question, that in the examination
of Adams Express agouts regarding the trans
mission of pardons to the South, testimony was
elicited showing they were marked “three hun
dred dollars—C. O. D. ;*’ but that the President
was not directly Implicated. There Is no doubt
the pardons were sent iu this manner, and, though
it does not necessarily reflect on Mr. Johnson,
tho fact cannot lie disproved.' 1
Benator Wilson.—The beautiful city at the
foot of Lookout 'rcuicd the distinguished gentle
man from Middlesex county, Massachusetts,
badly. Notwithstanding his arrival w«S tele
graphed some two hours In advance, when the
train reached the depot there was not a radical
in sight to do him reverence or hear him speak,
and he passed on his journey sad and sorrowful,
and much disgusted.
Sublimity of Impudence.—It Is stated that a
Northern man, who got possession of a conflaca-
ted plantation in Florida, sought information
lrom Its old owner as to the proper means of
cultivating it. This actually equals the case of
the Chinaman who stole a gentleman's watch
and brought it back to him the next day to learn
how to wind It up.
Going to Rome.—The Charleston Qaee>te
says: We are given to understand that the Right
Rev. Bishop Lynch will be In a few days en
rout* for the Eternal City, to be present, accord
ing to the desire ot the Holy Father, at the cele
bration of the eighteen hundredth anniversary
of tho martyrdom ot St. Peter.
Threw Him Overboard—An Irishman, at
Savannah, who became incensed at a negro man,
a day or two ago, took him by the back of the
neck, dragged him to the water's edge and threw
hint into the river. The negro, happening to be
a good Bwimmer, succeeded in gaining the shore.
Caution—Be sure that the wicks of your
coal lamps are large enough to fill the tubes;
otherwise It Is possible that the blaze, wheu the
oil gels low, may ruu down inside the lamp, ig
nite the gaa In it, and produce au explosion—
Several persons have lust their lives in this way.
Fihr in Americus.—A fire broke out in
Americus on Sunday morning which destroyed
the stable of Dr. B. L Head, also the stable of
Mr. Boon. Dr. Bead lost a very valuable bone.

Salty—The Salt Luke Telegraph ia shocked
at tho adulteries perpetrated throughout Christ
endom, and points to the saints of Deseret as
models of continence in this regard. Taken in
connection with "the muchness" of tho wife
supply in that locality, the great humor of the
Mormon editor Beems as salty as tho waters of
tlie neighboring lake. AYhy should a Mormon
grazier go away from home for salt when every
blade in his pasture is encrusted with it ? The
Louisville Courier should be credited with the
foregoing.

EXPLANATION
Of the Supplementary Scheme,and Mode of Drawing*
In this great scheme, which has become so very popu-
jjvont' *“ | Ws "
[ben, ., ■■■■
r to pay for their tickets, am
the United States, purchasers select their
own numbers, and whatever pri< *’
.ce they may think pro-
prizes are paid accord-
ugly. ’ Any person can go to any vender of the Gcorgm
State Lottery, select their own number*, and the vendor
will give a ticket of the *ame—the vendor will enter the
*ame numbers upon the Managor'* register—and pur
chasers will be careful to see them entered upon the reg-
iter, os tho managers are responsible lor thst only.
Ivory ticket ban tho class mimb.-red on It, end the draw*
igaarein public,as follows: On tho arawtug of the
lottery numbers from 1 to 7H. printed on separate pieces
of paper, are encircled with bras, tubes, and one by one
placed In a brass wheel. The wheel la revolved and the
numbers well mixed. It is then openod, and a boy, blind
folded, draws out one number, which is opened and ex
hibited to the audience. This operation Is repeated until
the whole 1» numbers are drawn out, and these 14 num
bers decide all tickets in that class. All numbers drawn
In the Supplementary Scheme are equal—no difference In
what order they come from the wheel.
SUPPLEMENTARY SCHEME.
Buyers choose their own numbers. Tho drawings are
In public, and the prizes are paid Immediately upon the
drawing, without auy deduction. Tickets lor sale at
Manager's office. Broad street. Also, at office, comer ol
Whitehall and Decatur streets. Tlie ffrst drawing of the
Supplementary class takes place on Wednesday, the 8d
April, 1867, at 8 o’clock, V. M.,
Goose Race.—The colored amusement-loving
darkies of New Orleans assembled at the ball-
way house on the canal last Sunday to witness a
goose race; considerable excitement prevailed
ami bets ran freely. Two mcD appeared and
took their positions in tubs floating on tbe water,
each having a team of six geese. The whole
scene is described as ludicrous in tho extreme.—
One of them out ahead, Btakes were handed over
and the crowd dispersed.
Good.—A rowdy who lately burst into
house in Ohio, expecting to have everything his
own way, was astonished by a ferocious young
lady, armed with a tomahawk, who left an im
mense amount of her autograph in red ink on
hia face. Verdict—served him right.
Southern Banner.—The Southern Banner,
Athens, has been reduced to one-half its former
size, and hereafter will bo published semi-weekly.
J. A. Sledgo retires from the editorial charge
of the paper, and Thomas D. Williams assumes
the duties thereof.
Another Blander—It having been stated
that a diamond pin found on the body of Wilkes
Booth was missing; some newspaper man sug
gests that perhaps the hero of Big Bethel could
tell something about it.
Organizing in Alabama—A “State Union
Republican Convention ” is to he held at Mont
gomery, Alabama, on tlie 1st day of Juno next.
The Convention is to ho composed of sn equal
number ot white and black delegates.
Remarkable—In collisions between white
folks and negroes, tho whiles, it the radicals are
to be believed, are never right, and the blacks are
never wrong. If the latter commit what is gene
rally considered crime, their color consecrates it.
