Arrest ok the Traitor Lopez.—From a
private correspondent at Monterey, we learn of
the arrest of the traitor Lopez by the Governor
of Oaxaca. He says: “His treason to the Em
peror purchased his pardon from the supreme
Liberal Chief Juarez; but it by no means pur
chases Ids ransom from the Woody talons of the
Governor of Oaxaca. The proof against him is
said to be sufficient to convict, and the prevail
ing opinion here is that lie will he executed,
which God grant may lie true.” The charges
against Lopez aro of an atrocious character, and,
whether trumped up or true, are just such as
might ho expected to lie charged against a traitor
Tub Nkoroes in Iowa.—A dispatch from
Chicago says: There was a fight at Burlington,
Iowa, yesterday, between tho whites and the tie
groes, with about thirty on cadi side. The ne
groes used pistols, but were finally overpowered,
only two persons were seriously injured. It is
hard to tell which party was to blame. No ar
rests have yet been mode. Further trouble is
apprehended, ns the negroes say they will lie
even witii tho whiles before many days. A col
lisiou is feared on Thursday, when a negro
emancipation celebration will be held.
Tins Schoolmaster Wanted.—TJic school
master, who is proverbially “abroad,” is much
wanted at homo, just notv, in some of our terri
torial possessions. In New Nexico, especially,
his services would be very valuable, inasmuch
as a recent statistical report from that region
mentions the laet that out of a population of
fill,GIG persons, tliero are 57,233 who enn neither
read nor write, and that “to-day there is not n
single frec-school for the education ot a single
poor child within tiio broad expanse ot the Ter
ritory.”
The Beast.—The New York HeraLl't corres
pondent, who made tiio report of the discovery
of a detective dogging General Grant's footsteps
states that the “ politician from Massachusetts,”
in whose employ tho detcctivo was said to be, is
one who “held a high position in tiio army du
ring the war," and that his object was “to hunt
up something derogatory to General Grant, to
lie used against him in the Presidential contest.”
This, wc think, is sufficiently explicit to disclose
to every reader “the nature of tiio Beast.”
A No blk Woman.—A letter from Mexico
says: Col. Miguel Lopez, the traitor, after selling
Maximilian und ids Generals, went to Puebla to
visit his wile. His reception was decidedly cold.
| s His wiio advanced to meet him, leading their
] I little son by the bund, and addressed him thus:
IB vtHir, hero is your son ; we cannot cut him iu
IS two, tako him. You are a base coward and
traitor. You liavo betrayed your country and
your benefactor. From this hour wo arc stran
gers, for I shall tills day retire to my family.
Go.” ^ ^
Tuts second letter of Ex-Governor Joseph K.
Brown appears on the first page of our paficr
to-day.
The Richmond Convolution.
Tho Radical Convention recently assembled fit
Richmond, and which lor tiio last fow days lias
occupied tiio telegraph dispatches to tho exclu
sion ot mattors of more general into rest, aocins
to liavo ltc«u possessed of art element of bound
less liberality. Roforo adjourning it passed reso
lutions endorsing, iu tho fullest manner, Gonoral#
Grant, Thomas, Sheridan, Iloast puller, Sickles,
Injun Logan, Schuyler Colfax, Sehofiahl, 'I had.
Stevens, and, last ol all, Henry Wilson. Wo aro
pleased to scO that the nanm ot the commander
of the third military district dooa not occur .in
tho list—nn omission which goes to show, and to
his crydlt, too, that ho does not stand so high in
tiio estimation of tiio “oXtremo radicals” us
some other people.
Hunnieuss and John Minor Bolts were tho
great guns of tiio occasion—tho former ill tho
Convention, and tiio lattor in tiio open air,
v hero there was a purer atmosphere and li'ircor
ventilation. There bcohis to liavo been a deter
mined dlort to keep Mr. Bdlts from exploding,
lnlt liu finally got oil, and regaled two thousand
blacks and one hundred and sixty-onu whites, lor
an hour or two, With a harangue mado up ol
Stale, fiat and unprofitable platitudes ami gem-
ailtlcs about republican principles, loyally, Jlnioi
ami such stuff as form the Staple ol tiio dull and
opiatic editorials to he tound daily in Southern
journals of the red-string radical stripe.
It is lamentable, and a mortifying commentary
upon tho tendency ot tho times, to see a man
like Mr. Bolts, who once possessed uncommon
abilities and a large influence, frittering away the
poor remnant ol his file in pandering to ll
worst.political clement this prolific country lias
ever produced, and defiling his declining days by
an association with such fellows ns the cx-negro
trader Hunuicutl, who is a fair representative ol
that class in Virginia and other Southern States
whose patriotism and politics are of a merchant
able order, and always at tho command of the
highest bidder.
Til6 Tomic»»eo IClectloiiH.
Wc shall not troublo our readers with details
(ft the Tennessee elections. All the belter por
tion of the people having been disfranchised
and the negroes enfranchised, it required no gill
of prophecy to tell that tiio Radicals would have
it all their own way, and rc-clcct Brown low,
Radical members to Congress, and to the Legis
lature. Such is the result. Wc copy a short
paragraph on the subject from tiio Chattanooga
Union of Friday.
The Conservative party of Tennessee imvc
made nn experiment. They have, and vve con
fess ourselves ns much responsible for it ns any
person, attempted to reconcile the black race
and the while. They have yielded up their pre
judices, although in many cases under protest,
and liavo striven earnestly to obtain tor tho black
men equal rights with themselves lor tho white
men. They have failed, and tho lessons will
not be lost upon them.
It lias not taught them to proscribe the black
race indiscriminately, for sonic of that nice have
shown themselves fit for freedom by their wil
lingness to assist tiie white men in their cflorts
for freedom.
But if there is one lesson whicli the result of
this election lias taught the people of tiie State,
it is the great danger of extending the right ol
suffrage to tiie ignorant and degraded portion ol
a race tiie most excitable of all races, and tiie
most ensily influenced by designing demagogues.
It has shown them that when unprincipled men
can obtain tiie control of affairs by influencing
tho prejudices of ignorant negroes, the good ol
tiio country imperatively demands that igno
rance and vice shall he excluded from tiio ballot-
box. It lias taught them that although while tiie
negroes remain among tho Anglo Saxons, tiie
principle of justice demands an equality of the
elcetivo franchise based upon intelligence, it is
almost impossible to harmonize the two races;
and that it would he far butter for botli races,
either that the blacks could he induced to peace
ably emigrate and form a colony of their own,
under the protection of our government, or Hint
tiie Anglo basons in their midst should give up
tiie country to tiie negroes and depart hence to
a country where it is no disgrace to be white.
Lynch Law in Illinois.—Alonzo Tibbcts
was arrested some months ago on the charge nl
having murdered Mr. Thomas Page, in Morris,
Illinois. Ho was acquitted, his brother, who
was believed to be cognizant of tiio crime, re
fusing lo testily. < »u Friday, of last week, a
meeting of Hie prominent citizens was held, at
which it was resolved to hang Alonzo. The
; lerill committed him to jail for safety. On
Saturday the crowd broke open the jail in the
absence of tiio slieritl, took Tibbcts in a wagou
across Hie river, and hung him to a tree against
the protestations of the Mayor and others, lie
asserted Ids innocence to the last.
Sinclair Tousey writes to tiio New York
Tribune that the “Soup Committee" which bus
nominated General Grant tor the Presidency is
' the Conservative machine, Hint was in exist
ence before September, 1805, aud which would
not recognize the order of the State Convention,
inquiring a new organization ot the parly in
this city, holding over and ignoring the State
Convention. Its umuagers are Hie men who
got up the Saratoga Convention, and aided the
Philadelphia--Johnson Convention last year.
o anil the trntted State*.
The Woslilngtmicorrespondent, of the Charles
ton Courier expresses tho option that any fnlso
step by our government nt this crisis, In relation
to Mexico, nmy load to serious complications.—
Hu says: If thu United States Government take
any active part in a movement (or the support
of the Liberals against other rising factions, It
will 1m held to account by Efltopean powors for
participating In tho murder of Maximilian. As
Mexico Is invulnerable nml irresponsible, Euro
pean powers will hardly undcrlako to obtain
any satisfaction from heron acoount of her in
solent disregard of civilized usages. But with
tho United States it la very different. They can
inflict punishment upon us through our eoui-
mcrco, or by blocknding or burning our cities,
and cjtliej means, if wo give them oflcuso, by
espousing tho causo ot, Escobedo and Juarez.
If wo go much further in assuming nil Hie re
sponsibility for tho murder of Maximilian and
lor the dcerco issued by Escobedo lor putting to
(loath all strangers, wo shall have all civilized
nations combined iu hostility to us.- Romero,
Iho Mexican Juarez Minister, who lias been sup
ported here by the speculators iu "couecssioiis”
from the Juarez Government, urged and advo
cated tiio execution ol Maximilian several weeks
before wo had llm intelligence-of his capture;
aud last night in some reply to congratulations
from a deputation of tiie “Grand Army of the
Republic”—an association which Greeley has
properly characterized—he vindicated this act.
Tiie "Grand Army" would invade Mexico at
once,,under pretense of supporting the Liberal
cause, il they could he assured ol lliu privilege
of plundering whatever remains ol the wealth
of the cities that favored a Stable government,
such us was expected from thu advent ot Maxi
milian, and might liavo been secured but from,
the position taken by the United Stales.
Tiio filibusters of the Northern-States-who pro
pose to aid the Liberals, have a project of rais
ing a very largo force of negro cavalry to do
their work for them in Mexico. By celerity of
movement they -expect to bo aide to rob the
churches, harbors, Imchmdns, and condnctas in
Mexico before a recruiting force can lie organ
ized.
A Bov Killed Under Chastisement by
his Father.-—On Saturday evening, a son ol
Andrew Jackson, who resides at Center Hill,
near Hudson City, New Jersey, was charged by
his mothor with stealing twenty-five cents, and
the lather, in chastising him, Imd only struck
tho second blow when the boy sank down und
almost immediately expired. Tiie hoy was but
nine years old. Tho grid of tho father is intense
at Hie fatal result ot what he intended for tin
hoy’s reformation.
Cholera on tub Louisville Railroad,—
The Louisville Courier, of the Gist says: Several
deaths from cholera have occurred during tiie
last few days at Lebanon Junction,on the Nash
ville Railroad, about thirty miles Irani tiie city
The little place was almost depopulated, thu citi
zens hftving»sought refuge m other localities.
Five cases of the disease were reported there
yesterday. There is no apparent reason for thu
prevalence of iho epidemic in that locality
Sharp 1’iiactick.—About the only man who
made any money out of the Frencli-Aiiieriean
imperial scheme was one M. Bureau, who, by
help of Iho French, kept tiie city of Vera Cruz
under control, collected all the revenue from tiie
custom house, and having raised five or six bun
dreil thousand dollars, left between two days
and lias since made ids appearance in France
Admiral Hemmus.—The Memphis Palldin
says Southern men ol Hie present generation
may have lo pass tiie portals of political dcatl
but we have faith in our race and blood.-
Ficndisli hate, backed by the bayonets may, for
a time, pul the Caucassian under the heel of the
African, but all the powers of hell can’t keep
him there.
Quiet.—So fur us heard from, tho elections in
Tennessee on Thursday last, seem to have pass
oil oil in a remarkably quiet manner—a fact at
tributable lo Hie energetic precautionary men
sures adopted by the municipal authorities ol the
larger cities and towns.
- ■ * * r— .
Huntinh Homes.—The Rome Courier notes
that a large number of persons from different
parts of the State, and from Alabama, are now
looking out homes in Floyd aud the counties ad
joining. .
Kentucky Election.—The State elections
in Kentucky will come off tomorrow. John S.
Helm is Hie Democratic candidate for Governor,
and John W. Stevenson for Lieutenant Gover
nor. _
The Radical stump orators, say the papers ill
North Carolina, ure making a good thing by
peddling e[ieap jewelry to their audiences alter
lift meeting is over.
Riot.—During a political speaking at Kings
ton, Tennessee, on tho Gist, u riot occurred, and
one man was shot.
General Sheridan.—The following occurs
in a New Orleans letter to tiie Louisville Cou
rier :
“General Sheridan is to lie seen dashing about
generally, at all places and at all hours. lie is
very regular, however, iu his office duties. At
nine o’clock he lias breakfasted, and his elegant
coupe stands before tin. confiscated magnificent
mansion, corner of Coliseum Place and Felicity
Road, now occupied by Philip, aud before whose,
portals paces a dragoon sentry with drawn sabre,
Philip of Orleans, generally accompanied by
one of liis aids, then steps into liis coupe, aud a
pleasant rule of a mile brings him to his office
at Hie military headquarters, corner of Comp
street and Lafayette Square. Hero Philip at
tends to and despatches the local and State; civil
and military affairs ot Louisiana and Texas. A
bristling bayonet guards cither door of entrance,
mid any quantity of mounted orderlies are with
in call to carry despatches anil orders. Reports
from various quarters, of public and private
nature, are examined, complaints and charges
are listened to, aud Hie office business generally
summarily dealt with and despatched.”
Personal.—The following paragraph.is clip
ped from tho Albany Tri- Weekly News of the 1st
We regret to learn that our friend, James
Lauderdale, Esq., the popular traveling agent of
tho East Tennessee route to New York, lias been
compelled to resign his position on nccoimt of ill
health. AVo trust that the pure mountain air,
and good water which Hie springs of Hie upper
country abounds, will soon recover him liis health,
lie is succeeded in liis position by A. M. Wallace,
Esq., ot Atlanta. Mr. Wallace is an excellent
business man, aud (lie interests ot the road wifi
meet with every attention nt liis hands. This
route is the fnvorito one to New York, abound
ing in scenery Hie most grand, and accommo
dations that cannot lie surpassed. It is ropri
sonted by Mr. Wallace, and our jolly friend John
T. Martel, Hum whom there fives no cleverer
mail. May his shadow never grow less.
Aladama Politics.—Tim New York Herald
thus speaks of thu situation in Alabama. The
concluding sentence looks billions for the
“niggers:"
It is beyond doubt that ihc niggers will have,
a great majority in the whole State, and coun
ties lliat have nigger majorities will send more
Ilian half the members ol Hie Convention.—
Those counties, therefore, will send either
niggers themselves or such unqualified whit
Radicals as will frame thu kind of Constitution
hat Congress wants. And this is very well.
Let the white men stand aside, then, and play
end till tiie niggers get tho States into the
Union, and then tho white men may come out
I the holes hi which they are hiding and do
wlmt they like.
A Mystery.—We copy the mysterious ease
below Irom Hie Savannah Weirs it Herald :
\ man named Snowden was arrested in Hii
city mi Wednesday night, charged with Hu
murder ol a citizen oi Liberty county, named
Ryles.
Tho facts of tho murder arc enveloped in
mystery, but the circumstantial evidence war-
anted the arrest of Snowden and Ryles’ wife,
as principal and accessory to the murder.
Last February, the man Ryles was found
murdered, but no clue to thu perpetrators ol
the deed could be discovered, until u few days
ago, when, by those providential occurrences
which warrant tiie proverb “murder will out,"
the police gained information which led lo the
irrest above stated.
Bartow County.—The Cartersvilie Krprem
if the 2d says:
The ad journed term of Bartow Superior Com I
is now in session at this place, His Honor Judge
Milner presiding. Tiio criminal docket heavy,
i >uo frecdiuan lias been convicted of the murder
I a fellow frecdman, and another one has been
mulcted lor an attempt to ravisli a little white
ill nine years old, upon neither of whom has
entence been passed. Several white men are
now before the court, charged with murder du-
the war. it is thought that tho duckets
will not lie cleared this week.

ol thu Austrian navy, and Biiito, who aro en

well informed on public affairs, that General
'Thomas will supersede General Sheridan, and
that Hancock wilt tako Thomas’ place. Fur
ther, Hint Sheridan will he ordered to report to
General Sherman.
Thu Secretary of tho Navy has received dis
patches from Commander Roc, commaudiilg the
the United States steamer Taconcy, announcing

That Nomination.—The nomination of Gen
Grant for the Preahleutiy by a New York Soup
Committee, turns out to have been a small allair
afb r all. The General must make arrangements
to be brought forward under more favorable au*
spires, il be hoped for anything like a decent
chance.
Savannah.—Tho Neion d; Herald of the 2d
sayh the leading wholesale merchants ol that
place, in anticipation ot a heavy tall trade, arc
making large importations from the other aide
ol the water, which will enable them to supply
their patrons Irom the interior at New York
prices.
Capt. Clark, recently ol the Bureau, and a
Mr. Jacob Garrett, ot Catahoula Parish, Loui
siana, recently fought a duel with pocket knives,
holding each other by the lett hand, and rutting
with the right. Clark was killed and Garrett is
expected to die.
It is said that the Knights of the Golden
Circle arc organizing under a new name, and
hereafter may he known us the “ Order of Maxi
milian.” They hind themselves together by the
most solemn oaths, and intend to lenvc this
country shortly for Mexico, to avenge the death
of tlmt prince.
