The Jacobin press is hard up for
capital. Some of their correspondents
have discovered pillories and whipping
posts in North Carolina This fact of
itself possesses no peculiar iutcrest to the
law abiding citizens of a State where
“whipping and hanging” is the poualiy
meted out to white citizens for robbery
and horsestealing. But the bruin of fa
natiolsm is fertile in its resources, and it
views these terrible things as “instru
inente of toiture by the inhuman slave
holders.” North Carolina has no State
Prisons. It is known everywhere except
to the Jaeobin prose of New England, as
the “whipping and hanging State.”
Should a Jacobin correspondent doubt
this, let him proceed to the old North
State and steal a horse or u watch, or
commit burglary, and he will Sunn learn
the purpose of these terrible “ii.siru
uents of torture ” By this means, he
may form a more correct estimate of their
design than by au examination of the
engravings in the Harper and Frank Les
lie picture sheets Such an experiment
would serve to allay the uuhappiuess of
negrnpbilidt publishers aud save au uu
ueccbssary expenditure of sympathy ou
the part of blind, but perhaps well in
tended, philanthropists. The enfranchise
ment of the negro in the old North State
would simply make him a citizen amena
ble to Us ciiminal code and thus invest
the pillory snd whipping post with uew
terrors to the unfortunate black man
Political Hj|iocrisv
It would seem that those Northern
Slates which insist upon k uegro suffrage
m Georgia as a condition precedent to
the admission of her j representatives,
ought to lend us the weight of their ex
ample as well as pieoept. But we find
that the right of suffrage is limited to
“white male oitizaus” by the constitu
tions of the following States : Peusylva
nia, Ohio, ludiana, Illinois, Atissouri.New
Jersey, Michigan, lowa, Wisconsin, Cali
fornia, Minnesota, Oregon, lianaas, Del
aware, Maryland aud West Virginia. In
some of the Western States, persons ct
Indian descent are pet milted to vote, but
negroes are disfranchised by all cf the
above named States. In the State of New
York, negroes, where they possess cer
tain property qualifications, are permit
ted to vote, but they are not placed upou
terms of equality with the white inhabi
tants of that State
In Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont
aud Rhode Island, frae negroes are per
mitted to vote without any special restric
tions upon the right of suffrage, and at
the ballot box they are the equals cf the
white men of those States.
In Couaectiout, only those negroes vote
who were freedmea prior to ISIS
Thus we see that seventeen of the most
wealthy and populous of the ‘loyal States'
deny the right of suffrage to the negro.
The State of Oregon expressly forbids
“that no negro or mu'atto shall vote ”

Kvery Confederate otlioer of character,
from (Jen. Lux down, has advised a
cheerful acquiescence in the Issue of the
War, and a prompt aud harmonious re
tin'u to the Union, under the terms pre
scribed by the Federal authorities This
is the rii.urso which honor now Oonslrams
us to pursue; and we are satisfied the
tiouthurn people will contemplate none
other unless diwen to desperation by bad
faitii on tlio part of those in power
But there need be no appreheneiou of
this state of things so long as the Presi
dent remains firm in the cause lot hue
marked out for Reorganization, it only
remains for us to do our duty in the
premises, aud thus strengthen the Ad
ministration agaiust the conspiracies of
the llaffinals, who seek to reduce us to
the couditi.it, of iieifdom, and who ate
coiisianity ahu-ing the President because
he manifests his preiorehoe for the Union
au.t for i oudtilutloual government.
In older that our reader may reaiizs
ihe uupoitanou of discharging their duty
fu.w, we append the following extracts of
of speech made a tew days since by Gen
fl.heuok, who is said to ha in the full
Conti leaoe of the President:
“The president might have held the re
bellious dtaiee iu military subjectiou as a
cohqueted people until satisfied of their
entire loyalty, and until reinstated in
their former positions by legislative ac
tion; cr ho might have withdrawn the
military force altogether and left them to
txsroise their civil function locally and
la their relations to the other States.
From the start there were objections to
each of those courses, and the president
combined them, holding a military force
over ihem at the saute time that he al-*"
lowed them to retusfnte these civil powers
and begin agaiu the exercise of their
loyal functions. Tois latter privilege,
however, wan ouly an experiment, and
the speaker assured his bearers that
President Johnson so regarded it. Only
ten days ay), in a full and free interview
with him, the president said he reyarded the
local governments set up in the rebellious
States as temporary experiments, simply to
give the people an opportunity to show
whether they will develop the riyht spirit
and policy necessary for u jull restoration
to the proper position in the government
W'fiilQ regarding them as experiments he
intends that the military power oj the gov
ernment shall hold them in /check, so that
if they be fouud straying back into the
to prevent them from again making the
tr übla they have heretofore caused.
The president, in this converaatiau,
referred to the course that bad just been
pursued in reference to the Richmond
election, where the citizens manifested
their rebellious spirit by electing to office
the very men who had recently hoen iu
arms against the government. It was
with his sanction that the military authori
lies had set aside that election, and he gave
this as an example of what might be expect
ed in other cases of a similar kind.
Routes to New fork.
There are now only two which are
travelled. One is by railroad via Nash
ville. The fuio is from Oolutubus to At
lanta §lO, thence to Chattanooga §ll 50,
thence to Nashville sl2, thence to New
York $32 60 —total railroad fare SOO.
The t rip occupies five days. If the trav
eller takes every meal and stops at the
hotel each of (he three nights he must lie
over, S2O additional ($4 for .each day) is
required—making the total cost SB6.
The other route is by Savannah. From
here to Augusta is $lB, theuoe to Savau
u&h sls, theuoe by steamer to New I oik
s4o—total passage money 573. Steerage
passage between Savannah and New York
is S2O Between Augusta aud Savannah
is Hfiy ihrea miles of staging, but this is
iualudad iu the sls oharge. The trip is
made in twenty-one houis Steamers
(propellers) leave Savannah on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays. If a better
vessel he desired, for two dollars passen
gers can reach Hilton Head, and there
take one of the large side-wheelad gov
ernment transports, and, if they furnish
provisions, be carried to New York for
S3O, going to the table oosts an addition
al S2O. By the Savannah route eight
days are required, four of them between
here aud Augusta. If outside expeneaa
he $4 a day it will cost a first olass pas
senger SB9 to teach New York front
Columbus via Savannah—steerage pas
sengers, not countiug in provisions, $53.
On other routes the railroads are not
yet repaired.
Views of Colored Editor.
There is a paper published iu New Or
leans edited by a negro. Hon. Thomas
J. Durant is said to be the writer of the
principal "leaders ’’ The paper is called
“The Tribune ’’ It is the organ of the
“universal suffrage party ’ in Louisiana
In a resent editorial the statement is made
that the victories of the United States
armies have uot been followed up by po
litical ones, that the Southern States are
governed by the men who commenced the
rebellion, and who resist social progress,
i. e., equality between blacks and whites-
The present policy pursued is not the
liberal policy of the North but the policy
of the slave holders. Politically the
North is worsted Hence, if this poli
cy of opposition to social equality is
continued, there is a probability of a
second war—a war betweeu the rases
“This second war, if ever excited by the
folly of the slavecerats, will be a war in
the towns and villages, sn the houses.
“The African race will now fight for all
that is dear to man The black and col

Mississippi Hists Co* vonilnn.
Wo find in the Jsokson News, compiled
by J L. Power, Secretary of the Conven
tion, a tabular view of the Mississippi
Elate Convention, which assembled at
Jackson, on the 14th August, from which
we make ihu following abstract, or ola;,si
fixation:
The Convention was composed of one
hundred men, of which ninety-eight wore
duly qualified Green county was not
represented, as no election was held, the
only other delegate absent, was Mr. IJp
ford cf Tippah oounty. Os the ninety
eeven members ; resent, 61 were “Old
Line Whigs” and 19 of other kinds cf
Whigs, total Whigs, 70. There were
eighteen Demoornla of all shades ; and
five conservatives, one oo operation!?!,
one opp.»ed to universal suffrage, one
Union autl one opposed to the war. The
Convention of 1861, was oompoaed of 84
Democrats and 26 Whigs.
There were in the Convention 35 law
yers,. 88 planters and lawyers, 9 physi
cians] 6 merchants, 6 ministers, 1 student,
1 bunker, and 1 clerk of oourt.
Twenty-one of the .delegates were na
tives of Tennessee, 14 of tiouth Carolina,
12 of Virginia, 11 x>t Mississippi, 10 ot
North Carolina, 9 of Georgia, 8 of Ken
tucky, 3 of Alabama, 2 of Pennsylvania,
1 of New York, i of Vermont, one of
Connecticut, 1 us Maine, 1 of the Diatriot
of Columbia, and 1 of Ireland.
The oldest delegates were Peyton King
of Lauderdale, who was 70 years old, and
James it. Maury of Claiborne, who was
68 ; the youngest were J. P. Carter of
Perry oouuty, and Walter L. Strioklin of
Coahoma—eaoh being 25
Seven members were also members of
the Convention of 1861, eix of whom
voted against the Ordinance *f Secession
and cue voted for It
'llls Public Debt,
The Chicago Republican, ably edited
' by the late 'Assistant Secretary of War,
stys of the public debt that it is large and
that its returns will of oourse show a Con
tinued increase until such time as the ex
penses fall below the actual revenue
Proceeds of loans are not revenue; the
only revenue is that which comes direct
through the bauds of the tax-gatherer
Until that exceeds the expenses, the
monthly exhibit of the debt must be a reg
ular inorease Nay, more, the war being
over, the vast army of incidental claims,
just aud honest ia themselves, but huh
erto postponed and lost sight of iu the
more pres slug demands es the hour, will
now pour in, and as these are allowed,
they will be added to tha debt, swelling
its total to a sum perhaps not yet ectima-
Ud. The people kuow und understand
this, auJ STB UUt an a! I to beat (So final
totalization of the public debt, but as it
increases from ail these quarters they have
the light to demand that no expenditure
shall be incurred now or hereafter that ia
not required by the imperious necessities
of the country. Economy in ail things
we know wili be Mr. Johnson’s policy
The man iu or out of Congress who will,
for selfish or partisan motives, delay a
restoration of the whole Union to a condi
tion of productive peace, who will post
pone civil government iu cue half the
States to the oppression of the people of
other Slates, is at present cue of the men
who will be held tesponsibie by the peo
ple. Let us have civil governments in all
the States ; let the Southern plantations
and cities be made produotive once more,
that the tax gatherer may collect there as
readily as ho does iu the luyal States.
Let us have peace and Union in reality as
well as in name, and with peace and Un
ion—real and substantial —the publio tiebi
will not be the monster of evil which at
present it seams to be in the imagination
ot many.

Serious Encounter In
We understand from indisputable au
thority that Pat Page, well known in this
city, as a lawyer, planter, and gentleman
and his brother, H K. Page, were both
seriously, if not fataliy, wounded in a
renoontra with a man by the name of
Allen, and his son, of Garland, Conecuh
county, on the 3i tost.
The circumstances seem to be about
as follows: Allen bought, some time ago,
a lot of cotton from Mr. Pat Page, for
which he agreed to pay a certain stipula
ted price in Confederate money. The
ootlon was delivered on the word of Mr.
Allen, but the money was never paid. Mr.
Page in making reclamation on Mr Allan
for the money dua him, demanded either
an equivalent or a return of the cotton
B„vh ware refused, and Alien offered in
lieu thereof to pay him in Confederate
money, which is valueless. Mr. Page, of
course, deolined receiving it, and words
led on to blows. Mr. Page was badly
beaten in the first rencontre, which was
without weapons. On returning with his
brother, the quarrel was again renewed,
and duriog the melee Mr. Page was shot
through the left breast, it is supposed fa
tally, and his brother H K Page, lately
lieutenant in the 18:h Ala,, Johnson’s ar
my, shot through the abdomen—tha
wooud also pronounced fatal.
W’e await further intelligence before
commenting further on this outrage. —
