GOOD NIGHT.
O sweet, my love, the hoar is late;
The moon goes down in silver state
As here alone I watch and wait;
Though far from thee, my lips repeat
In wlnspcrs low, good night my sweet.
The house is still, but o’er the gloom
Os starlit gardens faint with bloom,
I lean from out my darkened room;
And only hear the roaming breeze
Move softly in the lilac trees.
Some where beneath these gracious skies,
My bonny love a-dreamiug lies,
With slumber brooding In her eyes;
Go seek her, happy wind so free,
And kiss her folded hands for me.
Across this dome of silent air
On tides of floating ether bear,
To where she sleeps, my whispering prayer;
The day has brought the night forlorn,
God keep thee, little love, till dawn.
While life Is dear, and love is best,
And young moons drop adown the west,
My lone heart, turning to its rest,
Beneath the stars shall whisper clear,
Good night, my sweet, though none may hear.
HON. B. H. HILL ON THB POLITICAL SITUA
TION.
New York, Oct. 3, 1868.
To th'i Editor of the Herald: In the
Herald of this morning to an article head*
ed “Southern Democratic Leaders in New
York,” and among the number my own
name is mentioned.
Allow me, first of all, to say I am no
party leader; never have been, never ex
pect to be.
Allow me, iu the next place, to say that
I did not come to New York to “drink
wine or eat fine dinners,” and have not
been so engaged.
I came North to ascertain, if I could, the
exact temper, views and purposes of the
Northern people and the probable resu it
of the political contest now being waged.
To one who has studied and learned to
admire the system of American govern
ment, Federal and State, limited and re
served with harmonious boundaries fixed
for Mob by plainly written constitutions,
the examination has not been encourag-
Shaken to Us foundation by a criminal
war occasioned by a fanatical discussion
about the rights and capacities of some
savages imported as chattels for specula
tion from the jungles of Africa, the ques
tion now is, whether these savages, being
now confessedly free aud certainly great
ly improved by Southern masters, this
great system of government can again be
made harmoniously stable aud the free
dom of the white race maintained ant! of
all races perpetuated?
I find the Republicans meeting this
great question by proposing to “maintain
and perpetuate” measures which are “out
side of the Constitution,” which avowed
ly seek to disfranchise aud degrade white
people for no reason but that of a vindic
tive hatred of section against section, and
and which pretend, in the most unnatural
way, to elevate the negro by leading him,
igooraut aud credulous, promisingly to
equality, but really to ruin, as the butcher
tempts with bis bundle of hay deluded
sheep to the slaughter pen.
I find the Democrats meeting this most
palpable insanity of the Republicans by
exhnueting all their powers upon a cent
per cent argument about bonds, gold and
gratabaoks. I find the capitalists more
insane than tbß political leaders, taking
sides with the Republicans in this issue,
and are lavishly spending their means to
.maintain and perpetuate measure* which
subvert the government aud destroy the
Industrial energies of the country iu order
to make the government stable and its
resources ample to pay their bonds.
Ministers of religion are executing their
uoble commissions as peacemakers by
abandoning the gospel and urging their
hSarere to Join in the work of maintain
ing a policy whose only fruits in the past
have been, and whose only fruits in the
future can be, riots, bate and bloodshed.
Amid all this Babel discord of political
and moral confusion of the Northern peo
ple, I find but few who seem to remember
that there is a written Constitutlbn, and
that those who are oboeen to administer
it must be sworn “to support, protect and
defend it.” It is most significant that in
the whole Chicago platform and the let
ters of acceptance from the nominees
thereon this Constitution is not mentioned
uor even alluded to. Ita builders remem
bered there was a negro, but forgot there
was a Constitution. I have heard aud
read long speeches from notorious (called
distinguished) political leaders who, t
do believe, have never so much as read
the Constitution, and most certainly have
not read its history nor understood its
mean lug.
Statesmen have abandoned the Consti
tution ; clergymen have abandoned the
Bible, and the people are losing both free
dom aud religion. Nothing in the North
—not even Its great cities and wonderful
sssitiSrfiwaftrttf ah
troth.
If the Union oan b« cordially restored
and the reeceroes of the country thereby
be developed, this government will tie able
to pay the existing debt, even if three
times as great as reported. In this eon
tingency there need be no debate as to
whether the debt shall be paid in curreo
cy or gold, for then the credit of the gov
eminent will be restored and currency
will be equal to gold. Ai
If the Union cannot be cordially res
tored and the resources of the Country
thereby permitted to be developed, the ex
isting debt will not be paid; nay, not
even ten cents on the dollar, far in that
event the resources of the country wul be
consumed in a process of. subverting the
government, and some other government
which did not contract the debt will talce
its place either in the farm of a red repub
lican anarchy or a military dictatorship.
How can the Union be cordially restored?
By returning to the constitution. How
will the government be subverted ? By
the American people deciding t m “main
tain and perpetuate” a policy outside of
the constitution. Inside of the constitution
a Union, freedom, increased prosperity,
restored credit and bonds payable. Out
side the constitution Union, freedom,
prosperity and credit will perish together.
The reconstruction policy of Congress
has cost hundreds of millions already. It
has lessened the productions of the South
oue hundred millions each year of its ex-
Southern property to onedourth lte value
in IMB. ft
OMK’Uhbfvrhotoude destruction It will
laasen the productions of the South mire
than on# hundred millions per annum,
of bate and into armed companies of death,
will for years desolate the Booth.
Can yon maintain the UDion, promote
prosperity, restore good will, stimulate
philanthropy, modify Southern temper,
restrain “rebel outrages” and pay the
bonds by “maintainingand perpetuating”
such a policy ? But I am tola that the vic
torious North is ready to fight again and
millions of “boys in bine” wilt march un
der their great leader, General (then Pres
ident) Grant, and “make the conquered
rebels submit to this negro equality and
social ruin.” You will? Bravo! But
stop, courageous fool; answer me: how
will that restore the Union and pay the
the bonds ? It is so brave for these, well
equipped and, after a long, bard struggle,
to conquer one poorly equipped, and then
boast about it, and call that one a coward,
and so magnanimous to crush that one
and force him to accept an equality with
the negro which the Northern States re
pudiate for themselves. Stop all this new
form of treason, and stop the miserable
policy of reconstruction which is its fruit.
The South wants peace. She is impover
ished and needs it. She was promised it
on terms of equality if she would surren
der, and is entitled to it. She has kept
her Appomattox bond in good faith, and
every Northern soldier is, in honor, her
endorser while she keeps that bond. Will
they join and will their chief lead the pol
iticians in this negro assault on the peace
of the South and the honor of the North ?
Take away these carpet-baggers and send
us the laborers, farmers, machinists and
capitalists of the North by taking away
this miserable reconstruction policy which
sends us the first and keeps away the last.
We have peaceful, fertile, cheap homes
for 30,000,000 of Northern people who will
come to help us build up the country
whose sky is tbe brightest and whose
fruits are the sweetest on tbeeartb. Butwe
have no place for a white carpet-bagger
wbo comes to take control of the negro
and breed bate and strife to get office.
Among your hundreds of thousands of
readers are bankers, brokers, million
□aires, merchants, skillful accountants
and learned gentlemen. Can you induce
them to consider and solve tbe following
problems ?
Hew effectually can tbe Union under
the constitution be restored by measures
outside of tbe constitution ?
How long will it take to pay the public
debt by expending hundreds of millions
to destroy tbe industry of the country,
and iu maintaining by tbe bayonet a policy
outside of tbe constitution, which tbe
bayonet, negroes and false courts alone es
tablished ?
How long will it take to improve tbe
temper of the Southern people by contin
uing that policy which alone has dis
turbed that temper since tbe surrender,
and which every day keeps their persons,
their property and their families in danger
of pillage, rape, and burning?
Os what value is it to the North to force
upon the Bouth governments which will
enable deluded negroes to select for South
Carolina and Georgia Governors and Rep
resentatives from Vermont and Massachu
setts ?
You say Geueral Grant will be elected.
Possibly so. I cannot fix a limit to fanat
ical infatuation. If be shall be elected
and shall administer the constitution ac
cording to his oath he will have no more
cordial supporters than the Southern peo
ple. If be shall admlhister tbe Chicago
platform, as he stands pledged contrary to
his oath, he may find submissive subjects,
but no honesPsupporters at tbe South aud
no free constituency in America-
Tbe South asks nothing but what the
North promised—equality under the same
constitution. Georgia no power to
make a constitution for her internal affairs
or to change that constitution, which is
not conceded to aud exercised by Illinois.
Will a President choseu from Illinois con
cede that claim according to the constitu
tion, or will he deny it according to the
Chicago platform ?
With a pledge to carry out the platform,
Without even au allusion to the constitu
tion either in the platform o t the pledge,
will tbe people of America risk the rights
and tbe freedom of every man merely to
confer an empty honor on one man, bow
ever great ? B. H. Hill.

THE EXPRESS THIEVES.
LETTER FROM ALLAN PINKERTON.
Editor Daily Telegraph .-—Sir—Will
you please spare me a very brief space in
your columns, to make a plain statement
with regard to the Extradition cases of
Reno and Anderson, charged with rob
bing the Adams’ Express, at Marshfield,
Indiana, on tbe 22nd of May last, and that
of I. 8. Morton, U. E. Thompson and Den
Thompson, who have been lately upon
examination before Police Justice Mo-
Nabb, charged with robbing the Mer
chants’ Union Express Company, on the
Ist of May last, on the line of tbe Hudson
River Railroad. Both of these robberies
were of such a nature, as to cause a great
deal of attention from the Express Com
panies of the United States, representing,
as I do, the Consolidated Express Compa
ny of the United States, I therefore beg
respectfully to bring before your readers
the following statement:
On .the night of the first of May of the
present Ov E. Thompton aud I. S.
Morton entered, by force and violence, the
car of tbe Merchants’ Union Express
Company, upon tbe line of the Hudson
River Railroad, and by the evidence of
Putnam Wilson Brown, a messenger of
that Company, then in charge or that car
and of the treasures aboard, forcibly seized,
bound, and gagged him, and forcibly
robbed him of the moneys which were in
bis possession at that time. Denman
Thompson became an accessory to the
offense before its commission, was upon
tbe train at the time of the robbery, and
was also connected with the robbers, and
he received a portion of tbe proceeds of the
robbery.
These, parties were arrested in Toronto
on the 13th day of August last, npou a
warrant issued by Justice McNabb. The
ease was examined before him. The evi
dence adduced showed clearly and conclu
sively by Brown the messenger, and other
wituesses, that Morton and Thompson
were the parties who, upon the night of
the Ist of May, upon the line of the Hud
son Bivsr railroad, forcibly entered the
Express car, tied, bound and gagged him
as the messenger, and forcibly despoiled
him of the treasure which was in his po
aession at that time. The only evidence
to contradict this, is that of Denman
Thompson, who was discharged by Jus
tice McNabb, and who then uablushingly
and without an attempt to say that he bad
any cause other than that of a justification
of the robbery which the prisoners had
committed, testified that he was one of
the parties te make up a combination be
tween Putnam, Wilson Brown, the Mes
senger, I. 8. Morton and C. E. Thompson,
and that Brown the Messenger was an ac
complice with them, thus attempting to
lower the grade of the offense so that it
does not 'come under the Ashburton
After a full hearing of the evidence,
Justice McNabb, on the 28th inst., dis
charged I. a Morton and C. E. Thomp
aon. holding that the evidence was not
sufficient under the Treaty far an extra
dlll?rived in this city onthe morning of
the 25tli, and so soon ssl learoed of the
dfeehars* of the prisoners charged with
taSTtefore Stipendiary Mc-
M taken, and awarrant unedto the re
cers and detectives firom fee United States,
MACON. GA.. MONDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1868.
and by other means, Morton and Thomp
son have not yet been arrested, but I am
determined to remain in Canada a suffi
cient length of time to warrant me in say
ing that if they still seek a refuge here,
they will probably be found by tbe prop
er and duiv authorized officers of tbe Do
minion ; if they seek a refuge in the Uni
ted States that is amply sufficient for me.
In reference to tbe case of Reno and
Anderson, I beg to say that Seymour, In*
diana, is somewhat noted as having been
very unsafe for many years. I will not in
this undertake to prejudice their case now
pending before the Court, upon a writ of
habeas corpus. Reno and Anderson have
been examined before Justice McMioken,
of Windsor, who has ordered them for ex
tradition. Their defence is an alibi. I beg
to say that, according to my counsel's ad
vice, evidence for the defence is not admis
sible upon the demand of the United
States for extradition under tbe Ashburton
and Webster Treaty. That, bower, is a
matter which the Court will determine
upon the bearing of the writ The deci
sion of the Canadian Courts I have noth
ing whatever to find fault with ; they have
universally been, I think, fair aud right.
As the representative of the Consolida
ted Express Companies, I beg leave to say
that I shall always bow to the decisions of
the Courts, whatever they may be, but at
the same time say we are contending for
great rights. I have no doubt but tbe case
of Reno and Anderson, when it comes be
fore tbe Chief Justice, will receive a care
ful attention and a just decisioQ. What
ever that may be, we shall defer to it in
every respect.
Other charges are also pending against
Reno and Anderson, upon which they will
undoubtedly be re-arrested. I would like
to say more with regard to them, but jus
tice to them, and with due deference to tbe
court, demands of me, I should say no
more. I shall be contented with a due
administration of the law, such as the
Dominion will grant to criminals within
its limits. Apologizing to you for the
great length of this communication,
I am very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Allan Pinkerton.
