To oub Coustbt Friends—As much interest is
It throughout the country in regard to the pros
pects of the cotton and other crops we will be grate
ful to our planting friends and others in the interior
for information on that subject. Those whc. have op
portunities for obtaining valuable information in

labor system, and kindred matters, of general interest,
will confer a favor by communicating the same to us.
qpjg]£ REPORTED RELEASE OP MR*
DAVIS.
Our Northern exchanges are still indulging
in much speculation upon the probable ac
tion of the Government in the case of Mr.
Davis. Since the positive refusal of Judge
Underwood to entertain the application of
the prisoner for a writ of habeas corpus upon
the ground that he is yet in the military cus
tody of the Government, many and strong
influences have been brought to bear upon
the President to release him on parole. The
usually accurate Washington correspondent
of the New York News asserts that the Presi
dent has succumbed to the importunities of
the distinguished counsel and others, and
has actually written the order for the release
of Mr. Davis, and that it will be immediately
sent to General Miles, commanding at Fort
ress Monroe. He states that the President
announced his intention to do this to the
Cabinet on the 8th inst. But he knew there
was an effort being made to get the prisoner
admitted to bail. He desired, therefore, to
wait, and see what action the Judicial De
partment of the Government would take in
the matter. Inasmuch as the application
has been refused, and the trial has been
postponed till December, it is stated that Mr.
Johnson is not willing to take the responsi
bility to keep Mr. Davis in prison any longer.
The same correspondent communicates
the ondit, also, that it is no secret in Wash
ington, to those who are behind the scenes,
that there never has been any purpose on the
part of the Radicals who control matters
there, including Chief Justice Chase and At
torney-General Speed, to have Mr. Davis
tried in the civil courts. They know too
well, he says, that the result of such a trial
would be a full and honorable acquittal.
Hence the various obstacles which have been
thrown in the way of a trial for many months
past, and hence the recent postponement of
the trial, under the most flimsy pretexts, till
October.
■ We have no doubt these latter views are
correct, but we shall continue to be skeptical
in regard to the parole until we see it an
nounced that the prisoner has been actually
discharged.
THE CUNBTlTUTIOn AL AlfMNAKHVT.
The constitutional amendment which has
passed'both Houses of "Congress will be sent'
to the Secretary of Btate, who will transmit
copies of it to the various States for their rati
fication. A vote of three-fourths of the
States will then be necessary to secure its
incorporation in the Constitution. We be
lieve it is not required, as many suppose,
-hat the amendment should be submitted to
tBe President for his approval. He is not
required to express officially any opinion
upon its merits or demerits.
It will follow, of course, that Mr. Seward
will submit the amendment to all of the
States, upon his own and the President’s
hypothesis that the Southern States are still
in the Union. Having submitted one amend
ment to them all for ratification, and placed
the fact upon record that they did vote, he
could not now stultify himself by"asserting
that they are not component parts of the
Union, and entitled to speak upon the im
portant measure. If it is submitted to all
the States, as it no donbt will be, its fate will
be sealed, for a three-fourths vote cannot be
obtained. The Southern States will, in all
probability, vote against it en masse, and Ken
tucky and some of the Northern States will,
no doubt, vote with them in the negative.
And thus, it appears, will crumble to pieces
the stricture raised with so much labor, and
at such an expenditure of time by the Com
mittee on Reconstruction.
To make the disfranchisement of a portion
of the Southern people depend upon the con
sent of the communities whose citizens it is
proposed to ostracise, is a stroke ot states
manship that has no parallel in history.
It is not unreasonable to suppose that the
people of the South would prefer remaiuiotr
as they are, without representation in Con-"
gress, than to pass sentence of condemnation
upon that portion of their fellow citizens
who, on account of their qualifications aud
moral worth, have been elevated to places
of trust aud honor.

New York, June 17.—Imports during the past
week exceeded seven million of dollars, of which there
was four millions of sugar, tea and coffee. \
The excitement in the gold room has been intense
for several daya past. Four or five of the heaviest

A London letter to a banking Arm here says the spe

the amount sent is everywhere admitted to have saved

banking houses are very much to the same effect.
Harrisburg, June 17.—Petroleum kaslf^ Trusvilie
and Venango Bank, at Franklin,have instituted actions
against ex-Auditor General Isaac Henker, and through
him against the State of Pennsylvania, for the recovery
of a million and a quarter United States securities
deposited with Auditor General as security for circu
lating medium of these banks. The facts, as stated,
are these:
The firm of Culver, Penn & Co. were in the habit of
taking notes of Venango aud Petroleum Banks for can
cellation at Auditor General’s office, when they re
ceived liko amount of bonds for that which they pre
sented in notes. It is alleged that the parties thus re
ceiving these bonds, instead of being sent to officer oj
said bank, were taken to New York and hypothecated
by Culver, Penn A Co. It is alleged that it was with
out the authority of the banks, and that it was embez
zlement for which the Auditor General is responsible.
Warrants have been issued, and officers are now in
Venango countv to arrest the parties implicated in the
transaction. The condition or these banks arc now in
course of official investigation.
The object of the scheme is to proscribe a

Rousseau exclaimng, “Certainly, itisaU right Sir, you
are a cowardly poltroon and knave, rad unfit to
occupy a seat on the floor of Congress. I would sooner
have lost my right arm than to have resented the in
sult in the House; but you are not than now ”
Mr. Grinnell again said, “It is all right 'I don’t
want to hurt you.”_
General Rousseau then grasped him and pushed
him against one of the columns. Mr. Grinnell ■neung
some resistance, but of no avail.
General Rousseau then said to him, “I don’t wish to
hurt you—only to disgrace yon.”
Grinnell then let go of Rousseau, saying again, “It’s
all right’’ * n< l moving off General Rousseau remark
ing, “Now, sir, I am done with you, you cowardly pol
troon.”
Mr. Grinnell afterwards made his way to a street
car, wherein were seated his colleague, Mr. Price, Mr.
Bergen, of New York ; Mr. Eliot of Massa
chusetts ; Mr. Holmes, of New York/and others, and
gave his version of the affair, stating that Hr. Rous
seau approached him and demanded an apology for
words that he (Mr. Grinnell) had used in the House on
Monday.
Mr. Grinnell replied that if there was to be an
apology it must come fro~u Mr. Rousseau.
Hr. Rousseau then caught Mr. Grinnell by the coat
collar, and inflicted a cut across thk right jaw with a

THE
STREET RAILROAD AND THE
HEALTH QUESTION.
The work on the Street Railroad having
been suspended, it is proper that the facts of
the case should be stated.
We understand that the work was stopped
by order of the local military authorities on
the ground that the breaking up of the soil
at this season of the year, was prejudicial to
the health of the city. His Honor Mayor
Anderson, regarding the sanitary regulations
ot the city as clearly wii bin the jurisdiction
of the municipal authorities, protested
against the interference of the military In
the matter. The case being represented to
Brig. Gen. Tillson, commanding officer of
the Stale of Georgia, that officer states._that
he “does not feel authorized to interfere
with the sanitary regulations of the City of
Savanuab, but feels compelled to have tbe
matter referred to the Mayor and Board of
Health of the city.” His Honor the Mayor
hu3 submitted the question involving the
health of the city, to the decision of a com
mittee of medical gentlemen, who will re
port their opinion in regard to the propriety
of making the necessary excavations at this
season. The question of the legality of tbe
contract for the construction of the road
under the late ordinance of Council, is a
matter for future discussion, and is not in
volved in tbe present investigation.

Congressmen in Straits.
Some of the Confederate Congressmen from- the
Southwest met with many incidents, some of them
quite amusing, in their efforts to reach home after the
fall of the Confederacy. In Columbus, Ga., Mr. Her
bert, of Texas, anxious to escape a party of Federals
that were said to be approaching, hurried to s livery
stable to procure a horse, but was refused. In order
to strengthen his application he then stated that he
was a member of Congress; whereupon some Yankee
soldiers who were in hearing but had not been noticed
by him, told him be was the kind of a man they wanted,
and took him into custody; and the officer of the squad
went to report bis capture. At this time, an ac
quaintance of Mr. Herbert's coming up, Mr. Her
bert told him as a rich joke, laughing heartily the
while, that he had been passing himself off
os a member of Congress from Texas, and
that these men thought they had somebody! Tbe
iriend, catching the hint, entered into the joke, and
repeated it with much merriment to the next arrival,
who also seemed greatly amused that their old towns
man had suddenly become a member oF Congress
from Texas! Thinking they had. been “sold,” the
soldiers told Mr. Herbert to go, which he lostjio time
in doing.
Several of the members passed themselves as paroled
soldiers, and Were transported as such without detec
tion, on Government steamers, to points near their
homes. Of these were Mr. Perkins and Mr. Wigfall.
The latter, in a disguise that precluded all suspicion,
entered freely into conversatii in with the soldiers of
the guard, and in the course of the conversation asked
what they would do with old Wigfall if they were to
catch him. ”0, we would haug him, certain,” was
the reply. “Anti you would servo him right,” replied
Wigfall. “If I should be with you I have uo doubt I
should be pulling at the end of the rope myself." The
double entendre was not suspected, and its wit was
therefore lost, but is worth producimrfiow.—Rich

THROWING A TUB TO THE WHALE.
A hypocritical demonstration was made in
the House of Representatives at Washington
a few days since in favor of the repeal of the
neutrality law of 1818. It was a trick of the
radicals to decoy the Fenians into their po
litical ranks, and some of the latter have
worked themselves into a high glee over the
transparent deception. There is not the
slightest probability of the repeal of that
la.v, and it is not worth while for the
Fenians to be deluding themselves with such
chimerical expectations. The radicals who
are making this movement have no real de
sire that the repeal should be accomplished
and are simply trying to make political cap
ital at a very cheap rate. It has been cor
rectly said that England would regard such
legislation as equivalent to a declaration of
war, and would not hesitate to accept the
challenge promptly. None know this better
than tbe unprincipled men in Congress who
are now playing this very contemptible game
to secure the favor of the Fenians by false
professions of sympathy and a desire to re
move the obstacles in their way. Their pro
positions are intended for “jbuncombe”
merely, and are not worthy of a moment’s
consideration from the Brotherhood.
called, holding offices either State or Federal,
if they are competent and worthy. But we
must demur to tbe division of the people of
the se States into two classes, the one favored
and the other outlawed, which will inevita
bly Jay the foundation for hates aud fewds
of which we fear this country would not
witness the termination. There is uo belter
mode than this to create and perpetuate feel
mgs of disloyalty and irritation. The curse
of test oaths, and all the rest of the appa
ratus for ascertaining men’s loyalty, is that
it breeds and perpetuates social hates. If it
is the wish of the North to tranquilize the
South and attach her people to the Govern
ment, would not the adoption of a concilia
tory policy, by dealing with all classes as
free and equal citizens and not convicts, be
more conducive to the end in view. With
out an entire community of interest and
feeling there never can be contentment in
the South. Tbe surest way to keep up di
visions and estrangements is to deprive, by
unjust aud irritating discriminations any
portion of the Southern people of those
privileges and franchises which are the con- i Ttiad.

citizens of the United States, and which are j
inalienable.

opportunity of being heard. Our columns
are free, under the restrictions which good
taste and common sense naturally dictate.
Thus, we have admitted advertisements
announcing Sunday excursions, and commu
nications deprecating them; and we have
published speeches of Charles Sumner and

In Congress in another column.
HrriNY among the Colobed Troops.—The
Cincinnati Commercial “learns from a private
source that the negro-troeps stationed at Fort
Smith, Arkansas, are mutinous because under
orders to march to New Mexico. A consider
able number of them are nnder arrest. At
one time there was danger of a fight between
the white and black troops. A number of
the blacks swore they would rather die than
go to New Mexico, and loaded their guns to
resist the officers. Their courage failed them,
however, when the test came, and they
obeyed orders when directed to stack their
arms. ”
Insanity among the Blacks.—The Rich
mond Whig remarks that insanity is becom
ing fearfully prevalent among the freedmen.
Within the month of May some fifteen or
sixteen such unfortunates have been placed
in confinement in that city, while in former
times that number would haf&y have been
found in five years.
May 25th to December 25th, 1865.
\Vo have not had the opportunity to road
more than a few pages of this memoir, but
enough, however, to satisfy us that it is ex
ceedingly interesting, giving as it does de
tails and incidents in his captivity, particulars
concerning his health and habits, together
with many conversations on topics of public
interest. The book will be perused with in
terest by Southern readers, as the author,
although a Republican in politics, introduces
no discussion of any political question con
nected with the late conflict, but reports the
distinguished prisoner as he was seen by him
through a protracted and confidential medi
cal attendance, and for whom it is known he
manifested sincere personal sympathy and
respect.
Ondit of Mb. Toombs.—A lady, formerly
a resident of New Orleans, has recently writ
ten a letter to a female friend in Washington
city, says the National Republican, detailing
an account of an interview she had at Ha
vana with Mr. Robert Toombs, ex-United
States Senator from Georgia. She says Mr.
Toombs still avows his intention of yet call
ing the roll of his former slaves at the foot
of Bunker Hill, and defiantly asserts that the
invincible giant of Secession is not dead, but
only taking a quiet snooze, in order to in
vigorate himself for another, and, as Mr. T.
hopes, a more successful attempt to over
throw the Government of the United States.
The reader can believe as much of this as
he pleases, but in our opinion it sounds like
a piece of arrant fiction, concocted for a pur
pose unfriendly to the distinguished exile.
Tho President, in response to a resolution of the
Senate, transmitted a communication from the Acting
Secretary of the Interior to that body respecting trans
actions for the colonization, transportation, &c., of
nogroes. The report was made on March 7th, 1864,
showing that upwards of $38,000 had been expended,
which was augmented by a supplemental report, to
$37,300. The report further says that tho act of 1862
under which this was done, was subsequently re
pealed, and no other measure of-a similar character
haa since boon passed by Congress.
In the House Mr. Stevens offered a joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the Constitution, giving
Congress power to lay au export duty on cotton. He
refused to allow debate, and pressed the matter to a
vote, hoping to get it passed by a two-thirds vote. The
resolution was rejected—yeas 59; nays 67.
Mr. Bingham offered ^ resolution, which was passed,
requesting the President to transmit the Reconstruc
tion Committee’s Constitutional amendment, lately
adopted by Congress, to the several States for ratifica
tion.
Mr. Raymond, of N. Y., delivered a long speech on
reconstruction, declaring himself a faithful and con
sistent member of the Republican party, yet defend
ing the President.
The State Department is officially advised by the
United States Consul at Havana that Leosunde, the
new Captain General of Cuba, baa expressed himself
determined to suppress the traffic in slavery. He
notifies his subordinates—the Governors—that he
will hold them to a strict account for any violation of
his orders in this respect, which are from the Queen.
The Senate Finance Committed reported a tax bill
reducing the tax on cotton to two cents per pound.

Cotton in TuBKer.—The cotton crop
throughout Turkey will be much larger this
year than any grown before, but the heavy
fall in prices will have a serious effect. At
present tbe price of cotton haa fallen to eight
piastres per okc, the rate aome time since
ranging as high as twenty-three pias
tres. Various circumstances combine to pro
duce ^tbis unfavorable state of things, the
monetary crisis and the fall caosed by in
creased imports from America being tho
principal causes. %
A Steam Coach fob Common Roads.—The

much success that it is now ascertained the
engine can draw a weight of thirty-nine tons

certain words uttered in debate by Mr. Grinnell, of

to Mr. Roussean’a remarks, and the debate grew ex
