Reports from the agents of the Freedmen’s

freedmen have suffered so much in many of
the Parishes. The failure of the crops the
past two years has prevented' many of the
planters from paying their hands, but they
and the negroes seem not discouraged; work
ing for shares has proved a failure and wages
are being generally paid. The crops this
Tear have been excellent. The failure of cot

been good. There are 480,000 of the blacks

A Prophecy--Grsut to Turn Democrat.
In a speech made last week at Crestline,
Ohio, Mr. Yallandigham said:
Now, my Republican friends, I have not
said anything against General Grant in this
campaign. I have not done it for a purpose.
If he is fit, to be President, long before his
term, expires I will be found supporting him',
honestly and cordially, against the
leaders of the party which expects to
elect him in November. [Loud cheers.] And.
you will have no right to cry out “ Traitor ”
against him; yon will have no right to talk
about his Tylerizing, or his Filmoreizing, or
his Johnsonizing yon. You nominated him
in Chicago; you put a platform—a something
called a platform .into his hand; yon asked
him for an acceptance of it, and he accepted,
and I dare Bay he would have accepted the
Democratic nomination, too. [Laughter.]
But he took care in his letter of acceptance
to say that he would not proclaim any policy.
He did not consider it advisable to do so in
advance of the election—to say what he
would do when he was elected Now, I pray
you to remember that I told yon on this 26th
of October, that General Grant will reject the
mad, fanatical, revolutionary Radical leaders
of the organization which put him forward,
if he proves true to the Constitution and the
Union of onr fathers. [Loud cheers.] If he
will restore to this Government its harmony,
and give back to the people their rights, North
and South, I will be found among his cordial
supporters, because I will be found in opposi
tion to the Radical party.
Why will he bo in antagonism . to the Re
publican party V Because ho will be in antagon
ism to their unjust measures. But remember,
my Republican friends, you are electing him
with your eyes open. When you old Whigs
elected Tyler, there was nothing said about
what he would do. You expected him to lsi
commit ted to the policy of the Whig party.
When you elected Fillmore he was no Demo
crat, but in four months after his election his
chief reliance was upon the Democratic par
ty. So when you nominated Johnson, which
you did because he was a Southern man.
[Laughter.] Yes, you did; you did not know
even whether he belonged to the lvulvlux or
not. [Loud laughter.] But he lived down
South, and you wanted tho odor of national
ity about your Viee-I’resident; you wanted a
Southern man, that it might introduce a lit
tle leaven into your Northern body. Y'ou
found Andrew Johnson, and you knew he
had been a Democrat; and yon knew he
loved the Democrats so much that Republi
cans and Whigs had before-time denounced
him as a demagogue—wliieh is another thing
from a Democrat, and you elected him. I
did not vote for him, because my suffrage was
for an honest son of Ohio, George H. Pendle
ton. [Cheers.]
You made Andrew Johnson Vice-President,
and some one says God Almighty made him
President—and it is not ior me to settle dis
putes of that kind—I leave it to those who
may have time to discuss it—but just as John
son has refused to follow your Radical pro
jects, and as you have denounced him, just
as surely will you be denouncing Grant on
the 26th of October, 1869, if he should be
elected President. And then, too, we shall
have the satisfaction of saying that we did
not elect him.
How Our Merchants are Robbed.
For a long time past- complaints have been
received by various merebauts of this city
from their customers in the South and West
tliat the goods received by them were not
those called for by the list forwarded with
the goods. In each case the merchant was
able to produce tho receipt of the railroad
or steamboat company by whom the goods
were forwarded that the latter waH received
in good condition. Claims were then made
upon the forwarding companies by the losers
on the ground that the theit or exchange
must have been made while the goods were
in transit, and many vexations lawsuits had
grown out ot these claims. The detec
tive police of this city have ever been of
the opinion that the theft or exchange of
goods was made in this city. A close
watch was kept, and yesterday Detectives
Farley and Eustiee and officer Gaynor,
of the eighth precinct, arrested a cartman
named Michael Feeney, who had been em
ployed by Messrs. Alsberg & Jordan, of
No. 51 Walker street, to cart a ease of
ready-made clothing to one of the Savannah
isteamers. Instead of doing so, he drove to
the house of Samuel Leibeck, No. 143
Laurens street, and there the case was open
ed, a portion of the contents abstracted, and
a quantity of worthless articles substituted.
On finding himself in custody, Feeney con
fessed thatfor nearly two years he had been
engaged in the work of robbing the eases of
goods intrusted to hiim to be shipped by va
rious merchants. Within the last year alone
the property stolen by him and his confed
erates in the manner described has amounted
to over $10,000 worth, and during the two
years he has been engaged, to nearly double
that sum. He also implicated two brothers
named Augustus and John McKee in the
theft, and they two were arrested. All the
prisoners were locked up at police head
quarters. Undoubtedly a large number of
complaints will be made against the prison
ers by merchants who have suffered from
their depredations.—Acio York Tribune, 29th.

Excitement In Norik Carolina—Registra
tion of United States Soldiers.
Raleigh, October 28, 186S.—The greatest
indignation exists in the community here to
day because of the registration to vote in the
presidential election of a number of negro
• soldiers of the fortieth' colored infantry.
Among others, Nelson A. Mills, commandant
of the sub-district of North Carolina and col
onel of the Fortieth; Colonel Carr, chief of
the freedmen’s bureau; Chaplain Pepper and
Major Geddes, also of the Fortieth, registered
as voters. The Radical registrars contend
that as residents of the State twelve months
and of the county thirty days, these negro
soldiers are entitled to register and vote Tra
der an act of the Legislature recently in ses
sion. On the other hand, it is claimed that
they are non-residents, liable to be ordered
off any moment, non-tiixpayers, and conse
quently have no shadow of a right to register
or vote in North Carolina. The matter is un
precedented and creates a great deal of clam
or Democrats regard it as but another Rad
ical dodge to cany the presidential election.
Many fear that if these soldiers are allowed
to vote it will occasion some disturbance and

Court of Appeals of the State of New York—
Green vs. Shunucay—^MiUer; .T. —This case in
volves the constitutional validity of that por-’ -
tion of the act to provide for a convention to
revise arid amend the: constitution of this
State, which excludes from the privilege of
voting all who refuse to take the test oath
prescribed by the act in question, (S. L. of
1867, chap. 194, sec. 2, p. 287.) ,
I think that the oath in question was.< un
constitutional and invalid. The first subdi
vision of the tenth section of the first article:
of the Constitution of the United States pro-
vides that “no State-shall pass any kill Qf at- >
tainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing
the obligations of contracts, or -grant any
title of nobility.” This act declares that no
person shall vote at the election for dele
gates to said convention who will not;- if duly'
challenged, take and subscribe an;' oath that
he has not done certain acta mentioned
therein, and infiiets the penalty of -political
disfranchisement, without any preliminary
examination or triaL for a refusal to take said
oath. Thus, the citizen is deprived, upon
declining, of a right guaranteed by tlic Con
stitution and the laws, and one of the most
inestimable privileges of a free government.
There can be no doubt, I think, that to de
prive a citizen of the privilege of exercising
the elective franchise for any conduct of
which he has previously been guilty, is to in
flict a punishment for the act done. It im
poses upon him a severe penalty—one which,
by the laws of this State, is a part of the
punishment inflicted after conviction for
felony. It arbitrarily and summarily, and
without any of the forms of law, punishes for
an offence created by the law itself.
When the act in question was passed by
the Legislature, there was no law in this
State which condemned or characterized the
condnct which is punished in this act, by de
priving the citizen of the right of suffrage:
This law Created a new crime; and-raakes an
offence which did not previously exist. It
punishes for an act which was not an act
when committed. Besides, the statute in
question, in violation of the rules of the
common law, pronounces judgment of con
demnation without evidence, without any
opportunity to defend against the charge, and
without any triaL It makes the party the
accuser of himself, and his refusal to acquit
himself for any cause his own condemnation.
It punishes for an offence before an accusa
tion is made, and a trial had judicially ac
cording to the Constitution and the laws of
the land. It compels him, in direct violation
of the Constitution of the United States, to
be a witness ugainst himself. His refusal to
testify that he is innocentroperates to produce
his conviction, and seals his guilt. The
object of the fifth amendment was to prevent
the party from being called upon as a witness
of his own guilt. To compel him to testily
would violate this provision; and indirectly to
make his refusal to testily a cause for punish
ment, effects the same purpose. It is only an
evasion of the provision cited, « m
Again, tb e act is essentially in the particu
lars indicated, both a bill of attainder, or of
pains and penalties, and nil ex post facto law.
In Cummings against the State of Missouri,
(4 WaL, 227,) a hill of attainder is defined to
be a legislative act which inflicts punishment
without a judicial trial. Field J., in the opin
ion of the court, remarks: “In these cases
the legislative body, in addition to its legiti
mate functions, exercises the power and office
of judge; it assumes, -in the language of the
text-books, jndicial magistracy; it pronounces"
upon the guilt'of the party without any of the
forms or safeguards of trial; it determines the
sufficiency of the proofs produced, whether
conformable to the rules of evidence or other
wise; and it fixes the degree of punishment
in accordance with its own notions of the
enormity of the offence.” The learned Judge
cites cases from British history where bills
of this character had been passed, and the
Court held that the second article of the con
stitution of the State of Missouri, which re
quired a test oath from priests and clergy
men, in order that they might contiuu e in
the exercise of their professions, and be al
lowed to teach and preach, constituted a bill
of attainder, within the meaning of the pro
vision of the Federal Constitution prohibiting
the State frog} passing hills of that character.
The Court also held that the clauses of the
same article, in depriving priests and clergy
men of the right to preach and teach, impose-
a penalty for acts which were innocent when
they were committed, and inorease the penal
ty for certain public offences, and in both
particulars violate 'the prohibition of an ex
post facto law. That they further violated
that provision in altering the rules of evi
dence with respect to the proof of the acts
specified; thus, in assuming'guilt instead of
the innocence of the pstrties, in requiring
them to establish their innocence, instead of
requiring the Government to prove their
guilt, and in declaring that their innocence
can be shown only in one way, by an expur
gatory oath. ...
Inexpw-te Garland (4 YVaL, 333) a similar
question was presented, and it was held that-
an act of Congress which excludes from prac
ticing in the Federal' courts any attorney or
counsellor who refuses to take a test oath par
takes of the nature- of a bill of pains and pen
alties, and is subject to tifo constitutional in
hibition against the passage of bills of attain
der, as well as within the inhibition of the
Constitution against the passage of an er post
facto law.' 1 _ ,.
The cases cited cover the question discuss
ed, and’ are decisive and controlling. But
besides all oaths of an ezpurgatpry phftu\cter,
espefcially wheq fiPftfedh^ q uje^uA oif punish
ment for past acts, pot at the time known to
the law as criminal, have been regarded in
all countries iu modern time as odious and
inquisitorial, and passed aa they usually are
in times of high excitement, and upon the
return of cool judgment and calm reason
have been condemned and repealed by legis
lative enactments.- - Such laws of such a char
acter had been passed during that period,
and even after its close, when peace had re
turned, rigid excitement was made, which ex-
chided from the legal profession many, emi
nent lawyers of that "(‘Aeration. A-more en
lightened and liberal spirit, however, under
the guidance of the most able statesmen and
profound jurists of that day, finally prevailed,
and those who had been banished from the
country were allowed to. return, restored to
the privilege of citizenship, by the repeal of
the disabling laws. Th? luqu vjshft differed

years of expatriation iu ‘a- foreign-land, was

spect, confidence, and veneration of the en
tire community.
I am also of the opinion that the statute-in
question violates the constitution of the State
of New York. ~

He Late Episcopal General Convention*
. The Episcopal Convention of the churches
in the United States has closed its labors, in
New York harmoniously, the Vexed subject of
ritualism having been disposed of byTthe
adoption of resolutions offered by Rev. Dr..
Littlejohn, requesting the House of Bishops
to set forth for consideration,' by the next
general convention, such additional rubrics
iu the book of common prayer as in their
judgement may he deemed necessary, and
that, iu the meanwhile, in all matters doubt-
fob reference should he made to the ordina-
ry, (the person having ordinary jurisdiction
in cases ecclesiastical, generally the bisliop,)
and that no changes should be made against
the counsel and judgment of bishops.
The interest which the ritualistic question
excites may bo estimated by the fact that one
of the New York journals gives eight columns
to conversations with clergymen of. the
Episcopal and Roman -Catholic churches
upon that subject and to a description of St
Alban’s, in New York, which is one of the
churches iu that city which has become cele
brated by what are called ritualistic ob
servances. '
The number of Episcopal churches in this
country which have adopted these customs is
very smaU, not more than-half a dozen. The
change which' ritualism, so-called; has intro
duced relates to-the mode of performing the
service, and not its substance, and, as a gen
eral thing, may be Baid to-consist -in monoto
ning or singing it to appropriate mUBic, in
adorning the Lord’s table with symbolic
lights, in surpliced choristers, and .priests
vested in some distinctive way to mark their
respective orders. Its advocates claim that
in regard to the mode of performing the pre
scribed service of their church, as well Us to
those doctrines which are not considered es
sential to salvation, the Episcopal Church has
made no legal provision to compel uniformi
ty; they appeal to the minute directions given
by God for the tabernacle, irad the use of
vestments, lights and incense, derived from
the temple service by the Greek, OrientaL
Roman, and other churches; and further al
lege that, with the advance of civilization,
more pleasure is taken in pictures, music and
works of art; and that it is right to appeal to
every faculty which God has given to men to
draw them to His service.
The ritualistic movement, however, in this
country seems to occupy much more space in
the newspapers, just at this moment, than in
the church. We have said thus much simply
to explain what is meant by ritnalism, as de
fined by its advocates.
What is of much more general interest to
the American public is that this - Episcopal
General Convention, comprising as fair a rep
resentation of iutelluf-t, moral and social
worth and influence, as ever has beep assem
bled in any acclcsiastical organization, in this
(country, was composed of delegates from all
the States of the Union, and that" their inter
course was as fraternal: and- harmonious as
before the war. This re-union is a' cheering
sign of the times, and it is to be hoped may
be followed by that of aN the religions bodies
in tho country, till the ecclesiastical strands,
the rupture of which preceded political disso
lution, may be all knit together again, and
exert their combined influence to briug back
the ship of state to' its old moorings.—Balti

’Tin- Crown Jewels" and -tlie ‘Empty
Treasury Again—The, Oureu . Denies
Having Taken the. Money. . 3 -
[Paris (October JS) Cor. Memorial des Pyrenees.]
Monsieur le Directeur: Certain Baris
journals, and among others the Gaulois, have
stated that the Queen of Spain had carried
into Franco the Crown diamonds and a sum
of twenty-eight millions of reals, which' had
been advanced to her by the Spanish Treas
ury. I can affirm that those two assertions
are pure calumnies and without foundation. ■
YVith respect to the jewels," said to belong to
the State, the real facts are these: When Fer
dinand YIL returned to his capital in 1823,
after the French intervention, the crown re
galia was found to have disappeared. During
the'rest of his reign the late King purchased”
with his own resources, precious (Stones,
which have since served to ornament the
royal crown. At his death Queen Christina
inherited the joyal jeweis, and completed
them by .other purchases. Lastly, at the; ma
jority of Queen Isabella, the Queen mother
divided them between horitwo daughters; and
thoaer ..diamonds,. increased, by freslE ^pur
chases. Queen Isabella has now legitimately
in her possession, with fop exception of a
portion which remain at Madrid. With re
spect to the sum of 28,000,000 the Queen is
said to have detained, to.tiie prejudice of the
Spanish Treasury, nothing, canBe more false.
On the other hand the Goycrtnoeui owes to

the Press is to be deplored. : Being sincerely

Helmbold’s
Extract of Buchu!!
, Hundreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds of
Others apply vainly to druggists and doctors, who:
either merely tantalize them with the hope of a cure
or apply remedies which make them worse.- I-would
not wish to assert anything that would do injustice to
the afflicted, but I am obliged to say that although it
may be produced from excessive exhaustion of the
powers of life, by laborious employment, unwhole
some air and food, profuse menatruaiion, the’ use.of
tea and coffee, mid frequent childbirth, it is for qftener
caused by direct irritation, applied to the mucous
membrane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes of these distressing com
plaints, : it is most painful to contemplate the attendant
evils consequent upon them. It is bat simple justice
to the subject to- enumerate a few of the many- addi
tional causes which so* largely affect the life, health,
and happiness of woman in all classes of society, and
which, consequently, affect, more or less directly, the
welfare of the entire human family. The mania that
exists for precocious education and marriage causes
toe years that nature designed for corporeal develop
ment to be wasted and perverted in toe restraints of
dress, the early confinement of school, and especially
in the unhealthy excitement of toe ball-room. Thus,
with the body half-clothed, and toe mind unduly ex
cited by pleasure, perverting in. midnight revel, toe
hours designed by nature for sleep and rest, toe work
of destruction: is half accomplished.
. In consequence of this early strain upon her sysieto,
unnecessary effort fo required by the delicate votary to
retkln her situation in school at a later day/thus ag
gravating the evil. When one excitement is OTer,
ianotkerin prospective keepp the mind morbidly sen
sitive toiinpression, while toe now constant' restraint
of fashionable dress, absolutely forbidding the exer
cise indispensable to toe attainment and retention of
organia h»lth£ and strength; toe exposure to night
air; too aufldfn chapge of temperature; toe complete
prostrafiQnprodnced by excessive dancing, must, at
necessity/proauce.their legitimate effect. At last, an
early marriage caps toe cHwnnr of misery, and toe Un
fortunate one, hitoerfo- so utterly regardless of too
plain dictates and remonstrances of-her delicate
nature; becomes an unwilling subject of medical treat
ment This is but a truthful picture of the experience
;of thousands of our young women. ‘ u ‘ • ■ **
_ Long before toe ability to exercise the functions of
-toe-generative organs, they require an education ot
their peculiar nervous system, composed of what is
called toe tissue, which 4s, urcommon with toe female
breast and lips, evidently under the control of mental
emotions and associations «t an early period of life,
and, as we shall subsequently see-- these emotions,
when excessive, lead, long before puberty, to habits
which sap the very llfe bf their victims ere nature has
self-completed their development.
