A. gnoBEB Is the General Travelling Agent for the Mobnixu News, and is authorized to receive and receipt for subscriptions to the Daily, Tri-Week ly and Weekly editions. •THE MORNING NEWS AT TWENTY FIVE CENTS PER WEEK. We have recently systematized , and brought into operation the old plan of weekly subscriptions to the ti.i^v Mousing Mews, and within the past few weeks lion, under tiii3plan,-haa largely increased, ■ to place the Mobnino Mews in the hands of j Mechanic, every laboring man, and every per- l of intelligence ; and knowing that tnere are many t afford to pay five or ten dollars right out df pocket for a six month’s or a year’s subscription, who wonld not feei the expenditure oftwenty-flve cents per week, for a daily newspaper, we have insti tuted the plan, ana engaged Hr. H. O.

Collections win bo made every Saturday. THE MAXES. In an article under the above heading, pub lished in the News of last Friday, in speak ing of route agents appropriating and giving away the papers belonging to subscribers, we alluded particularly to those on the Flori- day Railroads, and not to the gentlemen who run on the trains which leave this city. We know that they have even , gone outside of their instructions in order to facilitate the prompt delivery of psjjers. Several of the present and former roots agents are personal friends of the proprietor of the News, and had he thought that they would apply the article to themselves, it would have been more - explicit. However, we intend to investigate the matter farther, and place the blame where it belongs. . > « < 7- VOTTDOOISM. * It is reported in the papers of Louisiana and some other portions of the Southern States that since the emancipation of the negroes, and the removal of the restraints incident to a condition of servitude, a tendency on their part to.relapse into,a._state of'icQe and impro vident barbarism, and to embrace the heath- the saVage state, has become alarmingly ap parent, and that especially Vondooism, aspe- eies of idolatrous superstition formerly but little known among the native-born negro population, is gaining many converts, whose observances of its savage and disgusting rites are described as most revolting. The Phari saical editor of the New York bun, ever ready to vindicate the negro and to asperse the character and impugn the motives of the White people of the Sonth, alluding to this subject, Bays: “ One or two things are noticeable in this relation. So long as the peculiar institution flourished in the South, no one ever heard of Vondooism, although it was probably as wide ly disseminated then as how. The transfor mation of the slave into a 1 freeman and a voter seems suddenly to have impressed the public mind with the terrible significance of this relic of primitive barbarism. Who is re sponsible for its existence, if indeed it does iexjst to the extent alleged? ; Clearly those - who, having control of the negro population . while in a state of servitude, did nothing to eradicate the superstition, bnt rather, by discouraging secular or religious instruction, suffered them to remain an ignorant and de- . graded caste. Voudooism, if'not tike off spring ofthe institution of slavery, was its fos ter child, 'and itull becomes those who helped ' maintain the monster to affect to fear it. They should; on the contrary," do all in' their power to neutralize its evil influences, and that seems now ;the farthest from their intentions: It is a Well ' known foot" that Vondooism, Fetishism, and various other heathenish isms were common among the'.Africans brought to * this country by the ..New England. and Old England slave traders, which even the-civili- zing and restraining influences of slavery’had not entirely eradicated: from-among their de scendants when they were released from those influences and turned iree, with bad tutors, if not to relapse immediately into the normal condition of the race, at least to develop those savage instincts and traits Of charac ter 'which long contact with Christian civilization had not ~ entirely obliterated. The “transformation, of the slave into a freeman and voter,” did not., trans form him from a negro to a Caucassian. It did not change his color nor his moral caste. If his barbarous instincts, while in'his former condition, did not “ impress'tile public mind with the terrible significance “that they have since assumed, it was because he was not free then, neither to vote nor to be indolent and vicipus,mid-to’^d4bd^£ msnd anfl-bbdy in the dark superstitions and idolatries of his heathen progenitors. Those who had a sel fish interest in him, ifno higher motive, had cared for him, had disciplined him inhealth ful industry and, wholesome moral restraint, so essential to his well being. It is hot true that the master. dasgf2‘ did nothing to eradi cate the superstition ” #f the steye, nor that they “discouraged dedto. ^ . country or in Europe, but -even-’ with ‘-'the'-eddcatcd' masses*'of the editor’s own pre-eminently enlightened section. We believe we speak within bounds when we assert that the majority of the slaves of Georgia, in tkeir day, were better instruct ed in the simple truths of the Christian reli gion than the same class of population in any past of the old world; and. that there was less scepticism and 1 infidelity to be found among a given number of them than will befliscoveredinrthe same number of, people in aiiy part of New England."’ * The professors ’ among them coti^Lnot dispute doctrinal points with Rev. Hr. Chlocx or Rev. Hm«r Wabd j Beecheu, or Philosopher Gbeelet; but there were yery few of them who could' not ^In struct those modem Christian .luminaries in pure moral ethics br ithe : "essential^ doctrines of Christian faith! In their theology they wergvitotj quito-np,. ta.theI’highejr Oonr” standard of "New J ' v England^ ortimdoxy, which- discards the ■ creeds'- and’- precepts of Gie Fathers, and ^jeveitt ,th§pJg$Ug£ it-! sd£_ .wljen. ^the favorite ism,' or the carrying of ah electron. But their, simple religion bore the scripture -test; and such as it Was they owed their pos session of it to slavery.' Slaveholding South ern humanity and .Christianity had doneifor; the black African savage, what free, North ern’philanthropy had hot done, inchnever can do, for the red American savage. Origi nally the African was sunk in as heathenish a ' barbarism as that of the Indian. "If the “high*; er law” doctrine of the equality of races is ' trne, the lndian was the equal of the African. | . Since the. firat contact of the whites with either race on this continent; for more than, a century, the Indian savage has been edu cated in the school of the : largest liberty, while the.. African savage 'has been schooled- under the influences of the 4 ’peculiar institu tion.” The result, which is seen in the com parative advancement of the two races in civilization, proves either that the new theory of the equality of races is an error, or that the latter method of culture and enlightenment is best adapted to the first stages of human progress from the darkness of heathenism to the light of Christian civilization. If, as the editor and his party maintain, the African is to-day fit for the ballot, while the Indian is only worthy of the bullet, the fact is an in- ■’coutiovertible .testimonial- -in- favor of the humanizing and civilizing influences of the “institution” in which he was fitted for his new estate. It is false then to charge that a heathenish superstition, which formerly only existed in isolated cases as a relic of African barbarism, is the “foster child of slavery,” and it is equally as absurd to talk of educating Vou dooism out of the race by the same system of “higher law” culture, which, if it has edu cated Witch-burning out of the Puritan, has implanted in its stead a* more arrogant, pro scriptive, unrighteous and malignant intole rance. Bnt the editor with a heartless and imperti nent flippancy characteristic of his class pro ceeds : The Southern people are aware by this time that the reconstruction laws of Congress are a finality, and that whether they like it or not, the negro is invested with the eleotive fran chise. To accuse him of grossly superstitious practices wfll not better their cause. The remedy, if aremedy.be needed, lies in their own hands, and they alone must educate him to that degree of intelligence which befitsthe man who is entitled to cast a ballot. The people of the North have no concern in the matter, ex cept so for as they may feel an interest in sin cere efforts to elevate a feUow being in the social scale. The sooner the white race of the South commence this good work, the better will it be for them and their colored fellow- citizens. We repeat that we have no faith in such an educational scheme as the editor wonld pre scribe—such as his carpet-bag emissaries and miscegenating school-marms have endeavored to inaugurate. With the best wishes for our “colored fellow-citizens,”we would rather give them over to their native Vondooism, than see them indoctrinated with all the vile isms which comprise the religions and political faith of the editor and his party, with which they have kept the world in commotion for the last half century and finally brought Con stitutional government to an end and the country to the verge of ruin. Left to our selves with no impertinent outside interfer ence the white and black races of the South might adjust their relations, and work out tlieir destiny in mutual good'will, peace and harmony. Bnt while these relations are to be regulated for ns by the enemies of both races, “whether they like it or not,” we fear that Vondooism is not the worst evil with which we will have to contend. NEGRO DIABOLISM. In our local column this morning will be found an account of one of those lawless and bloody outrages which are but too common throughout the South, and which threaten the general security and peace of communi ty. The developments in this case disclose a most Manning spirit of violence and insub ordination to" law on the pari of a portion of our colored population, showing the neces sity for the adoption of prompt and effective measures for the protection of the lives and property of our citizens. The ease is briefly stated thus. The gard- ners and farmers in the vicinity of the city being exposed to continual robberies and danger, fromrthe depredations of the vaga bond negroes whir infest the neighborhood, were forced to organize a local police force for mutual protection. This was done in Strict obedience with the law ; the individu als composing the force were sworn as special police by the proper civil authorities, and the patrol organized fur the purpose stated. This fact-coming to the knowledge of the ne groes, they openly declare their determina tion to' set the. civil patrol at defiance, and an ^anned.and. organized force invade the veiy^suburbs of the city and shoot down Citi zens while peacefully protecting their homes and property. Such, an act of lawless brigandism is un paralleled in the history of onr State, and is a disgrace to the government that has ex posed its! peaceful citizens to such outrage. This affair will be heralded at the North as another Ku Klux outrage, or will perhaps be used as an argument, if it has' not been insti gated sa a reason for subjecting us again to military /despotism. It is a bard suspicion, bnt it is not difficult to suppose that tbs vile political-parisites and moral traitors, who have resorted to such vile falsehoods to back up their appeals fotr Congressional intervention, to retain them in power, wonld not hesitate to incite their ignOrant an^ .brutal dupes to violence-and bloodshed, in. order to illustrate the inefficiency of civil government, and the necessity for military force for the'protection of life and property in Georgia. Such a hypothesis is quite. as reasonable as to sup pose-thatthe perpetrators of the outrage oh Saturday night are simple enough .to imagine that they can successfully prosecute'the open war of rapine and plunder which they have inaugurated, There is either connivance and collusion iu this proceeding, or the ‘negroes engaged in the affair are nearer to the level of unreflecting brutes then we have supposed them to be. Be that- as it may, it is the duty of our county and city authorities and of our citizens to .vindicate. their ability to uphold and en force the' laws and protect the lives "and property of our people. We fee! confident that the Mayor, County Ordinary and Sheriff; will act promptly and to the full extent of their authority. Let onr citizens countenance and sustain them in all necessary and proper measures to protect the community.' Let liberal rewards be offered, and vigilent and effective steps be taken to discover and arrest the gnrillas by whom we aresurronnded... Let them be hunted from their Ini-king places, and brought to justice. Self-Protection is not only an inalienable right, brit a religious 'fluty. THE INDISCRIMINATE SALE OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION. . Since.the bloody -affair of Saturday night has disclosed the fact that we have in "bur vicinity'-an jorganized and armed hand of negro brigands, I murderers and robbers, it has been suggested , that our merchants should refuse to sell powder and buck-shot to negroes of suspicious or unknown character. It is said that purchases of ammunition and guns are being constantly made in the city byj'unk^pwp-’ negroes. 'Healers owe it to tKeir own security, as well ap that of their fel low-citizens, to exercise prudent discretion in this matter. . • ■ !' .. —r—- The carpet-bag speaker of the Alabama Legislature, HABBfi£arpsr ? ; ; 'Was lately, intro duced by a young scalawag into his father's family. A discussion arose, during which Habeinoton fired at one of the brothers, a Democrat, witha pistol, but inissed him- The young man gave him a sound thrashing, and he left in disgust. ' > t » M Bases Count? Lands: —The lands are being valued in.this, one of the.best landed coun ties in the State, at from one to three' dol lars—on an. average—per acre. So wo have been info: THE MEETING OP CONGRESS Congress re-nssembles to-day. The Wash ington Htpreas BayB it will immediately resume business at the point where it ' left off last summer. The first hour will be devoted to the call of the Stated and Territories fqrbilla and resolutions for reference, which will give gentlemen an opportunity to arrange their papers, and then will follow a contest to ob- tain a precedence, ior.pfit. measures... i>ir. John Lynch has notifiedthe country thathe will bring forward his financial measures upbri the first day of the session. The indications now are thatthe absorbing” matters will be the finances. It-is understood that the main, features bf the tar bill ofl^st year will he' reintroduced, and iu time to per mit of a thorough consideration by both Houses. Itisreportedthat Mr. f^alik ThotnaS will make a last effort to havb tit^e State gov-' eminent of Maryland declared unrepublican inform, but the' Radicals - here do not now- look with much foVor. upon that proposition. It is tiot .stated whether /the. caijie 1 iLLU * J who misrepresents the First Cong District of Georgia will'move first to impeach President Johnson, or to -have Georgia re manded back under military .'rule, with Bid- lock as Provisional Governor. Fortunately for- us and for the - country, that indiyidual’s capacity for evil iff so dito proportionute to his ambition, that we need apprehend very little from his efforts.. Gbant of Land to use A. &.G. Railboad Company in Alabama.—The Legislature of our sister State of Alabama, some years ago, passed an act, granting to the Atlantic and Gnlf Railroad Company 3,720 acres of land per mile, amounting in the aggregate-to 372,- 000 acres, which has been estimated to' be worth $1;116,000. This munificent donation has been forfeited—or it is so believed. So we understand the matter from the statements of Judge Yelvebton, of that State, who, we learn, is how engaged issuing scrip for Jan da that were granted to the road by an act of Congress in 1862. ’ For $10;S0 he puts the partyin possession of 160 acres of this re served land. Should this proceeding be un authorized, Colonel Screven and his board should take such steps)' af'would'protect the Company from litigation and loss.—Main- bridge Argus. _ Compromising Revenue Frauds.—A ques tion has recently arisen as $6 what persons are legally vested with power coui p romising revenue frauds. This most important func tion has.hitherto been exercised, by Cpmmp)- sioner Rollins and liis deputy. itu^totohhaft the Attorney General holds that this right is invested solely in himself, and the President;; and that the Cemmisioner cgmurt lajwffilexer- ciseif, and that a case is about to be made up which .will bring mftttep f^prtiilx Evarts, and obtain .bis - Official decision to this effect If fraud and corruption in the collection of the revenue of the Government continues to increase in the same ratio for the next fonr years as they have in the last eight, Jlr. Evarts will have his hands-foil, if it does not become necessary for the Government to es tablish a Conjprpiaise Bnreau to transact that branch of the public bnsiftet*. . . i M W) i) I,- .-. Opening or tsx Suez Dahal.—We shall probably soon hear of the opening of the Suez Caifol. It fo reported that in. the. mid dle of November a French government steam er, the Levrette, left Toulon for Egypt, the intention being that, she should start from Fort Said, through the canal, to the Red Sea at the head of a. great procession of yacht and^pleasure-boats, to the number, it ie said, of a thousand. It is expected that the Vice roy of Egypt Will be_ present, in his own steam yacht. The regular opening of the ca nal, for all purposes, ;s j;Qt expected to take place before the flrst ! of next October. ''The undertaking is, considered, by politicians, equivalent to » heavy blow to England, inas much as it will open a short and ready route to her Oriential possessions. I.-M• i 1- w : ,a Heath of a Prominest Citizen of Bain- eridoe.—The Argus of the Sth'announces the death of Hoh Joseph Law, which took place in that city on Sunday ;lasti after an illness of several months. The Argus says: The deceased was greatly beloved by-his friends, -imd revered asd respected by all Who knew him for -his many noble • traits of char acter, and especially for .bis Christian virtues, which shone out in every act of his -life. - He was tne Father, onr City- and,, in his drittb, there is a vacuum created, which; it-Would seem, cannot be again filled.
