DEPRESSION AT THE NORTH.
The New York Post, in an editorial on the
reduction of the public debt, says complaint
is made on all sides of severe depression in
business. Trade is dull, manufactures iuac-
live, employment in many branches of labor
scarce, and living expensive. The working
people are apprehensive and some of them
in danger of want; and great numbers of
men of property are consuming their capi
tal. The sources of national revenue have
lor some months shown the effects ot hard
times, and certain taxes which were 7ery
productive two years ago yield scarcely any
thing. A hundred interests have been clam
oring for relief from duties; and, while much
lias been done to lighten their load, it has
beon done grudgingly, and against the stren
uous opposition of the Treasury itself, which
has proclaimed that the results would se
riously impair revenues, already as small as
is cousistent with safety.
Young Radicals.—Three boys, from
eleven to fourteen years old, in Rochester,
N Y., the other day, robbed a safe of $900
iu daylight, ran away to Buffalo and spent
$‘200 in two days.
Mb. Scroogik, one of the Representatives
elect for Coweta county, is classed by all the
papers as a Radical. He authorizes tbe
Newnau Herald to say that he was elected
as an independent, and is not committed to
the principles or policy of the Radical party.
The California Democratic Conveution last
week instructed its delegates to the National
Convention to vote for Governor Haight aa
California’s first choice for the Presidency.
{Should no advance be made by other States
lor his nomination, the delegation is in
structed to unite with the friends ot Pendle
ton iu the Northwest, in demanding his no
mination.
The Radical Slats—We understand that
the Radical slate is being made up. Gov.
Browu is to be Chief Justice; Parrott and
Blodgett, United States Senators, and Col.
Hulbert, Superintendent of the State Road,
with Mr. Levi Pond for Master of Transpor

them.—Atlanta Opinion.
Riot in Jacksonville.—A correspondent
of the Tallahassee Sentinel informs that pa
per that on the evening of the 4th inst, the
first day of the election in Jacksonville, sev
eral freedmen became so troublesome in an
altercation with some white citizens, that it
became necessary for the soldiers to inter
fere, and in reducing them to quiet, several
were wounded with bayonets, and many ar
rested. It is said that one, at least, is mor
tally injured.
A most destructive tornado passed over
the village of Shanghai, Illinois, on the 3d,
by which the entire Northern portion of the
village wag destroyed. Sixteen houses and
the only two churches in the village, were
totally demolished. Several persons were
killed, and thirty or forty wounded- A large
concourse of men, women and children
were in one of the churches engaged with
the Sunday School when the building was
crashed in.
Emperor of Brazil.—It is stated by Ar
gentine journals, on the alleged authority
of private letters received in Buenos Ayres
from Rio Janeiro, that his Majesty Pedro II,
Emperor of Brazil, tired of the fatigues of
government and of war, intends to abdicate,
and has called a conference of the principal
personages of the country to arrange defi
nitely the terms of his abdication, stating
at the same time that his resolution was ir
revocable.
PHILADELPHIA AND 6UUTHBKI
KAIIi STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
The annual meeting of this company was
held in Philadelphia on the 6th inst., when
a full detailed exhibit was made of tta af
fairs, from which we learn that the loss sus
tained by the company in running the New
Orleans line has been $34,656 55; that by
the Wilmington line, $3,273 44, while the
profit of the Savannah line foots up $14,-
444 03. This makes the total excess of ex
penditures of the boats over their earnings,
$23,574 96. To this side of the account
must be added the indebtedness incurred
during the first year of operations, $21,476;
the expenses of the office in Philadelphia,
and other current expeuses, $38,368 81; and
the loss occasioned by the burning of the
steamer Tioga, estimated at $116,448 40,
and the total deficit will make a sum of
$195,589 17.’
This result in view of the unfavorableness
of the times for testing the practicability of
the enterprise seems not to have disheartened
the managers of the company, who say in
their report that they “do not and should not
feeel discouraged thus far at the losses sus
tained by the company, as such losses are in
cident to all such new enterprises, even in
periods of ordinary commercial prosperity. ”
At the annual meeting last year it was de
termined to increase the capital stock of the
company $150;000, of which amount only
Borne $17,000 has tiefa subscribed. Ia their
present report th^y declare “that tbe neces
sity for this increase of capital still exists,
and beiug enhanced by the losses sustained
daring the year, becomes of vital importance
to this enterprise. We are not willing to
believe that our shareholders will allow this
enterprise to fail, by refusing to secure it the
necessary capital to place it in an unembar
rassed position, and enable it to give to the
city those advantages of Water communica
tion to which it is naturally entailed.”
It will be seen that while the service be
tween Philadelphia and Wilmington and
Philadelphia and New Orleans have resulted
in a loss to the Compauy of upwards of
$38,000, the line between S.tvaunah and
Philadelphia has yielded a profit of $14,455.
This result speaks well for the commerce of
onr city, and should, as we trust it will, en
courage the Company to uke the necessary
steps not only to render their line on this
route permauent, but to place it iu every re
spect on a footing of competition with the
New York lines. If the commerce of Sa
vannah during the past year, when the mer
chants and business men of our section had
scarcely begun to recover from the universal
paralysis occasioned by the war—when there
was no capital—when agriculture was pros
trate, labor disorganized, and enterprise of
every kind held iu check by domestic and
political disorder and insecurity—if uuder
such circumstances our port has sustained a
domestic and foreign commerce greater than
that of any other Southern city of equal
population, need our Philadelphia friends
have any better assurance of success in the
future, or any stronger incentive to persist in
their enterprise. So far at feast as Philadel
phia and Savannah are concerned, we agree
with the managers when they say this “is a
Philadelphia enterprise, and should be en
couraged and maintained by the business
men of Philadelphia, not only for its present
benefits to our commerce;, but for its guar
antee of an increase of a valuable trade in
the future.”
vass is the highly respectable coloredroje
which the Conservatives were emaMW io
poll. We are conrinced thet >bey
taken the field at early and been
as their Radical opponents, they might naws
carried with them nearly or quite one-aalf
of the colored people. .
Prom all accounts, the most villainoui
frauds were practised by the Radical man
agers of the electioa. In Tallahassee, where
only 2,500 votes were deposited in the ballot
box, 2,801) were counted out of the samd
box. The editor of the Sentinel ventures
to characterize that sort of counting as
“simply ridiculous.”
At Madison s similar fraud was practised,
and though the congest was considered to be
close, some claiming that the Conservative
ticket would be eleoted, everybody was i
tonished at the count which gave Reed, the
Radical candidate, 773 majority over his
Democratic opponent. The Messenger gays
*The registry books show that only 1,654
were cast, yet over 1,800 ballots were taken-out
of the box at the count. How was this ? On
examination the box will show in a moment.
It was made with the addition of a wooden
funnel inserted in the opening made for the
reception of the votes, and so loosely fastened
that it could be easily taken out and put in
again without creating suspicion or foul play
Now, the two Conservatives appointed under
an order of Gen. Meade to be present as inspec
tors, and to seal the box each night and see it
unsealed again each morning, not suspecting
the ingenious construction of the box sealed
the top of the funnel, which, of course, did not
interfere with the removal of the funnel.
The box was taken to the house of Simon
Katzenberg, the Radical candidate for the
Senate, who had access to it at his will.
From these facts, with the additional fact
that Katzenberg is well known to be a most
unprincipled man, our people may draw their
own deductions.
The election in Florida, as in Georgia, de
monstrated the fact that the Conservatives—
white and black—can outvote the Radical
Philistines, but that the latter can beat them, or
any other honest men, in counting the votes.
Indeed, the late elections throughout the
South are justly regarded as a most disgraceful
mockery.
By Telegraph.
The Election in North Carolina.—Gen.
Canby, in a letter to C. J. Cowles, President
ot the late mongrel Convention, dated the
2d intfc., says that returns have been re
ceived from seventy-seven counties, which
give a majority of 21,328 votes in favor of
the ratification of the Constitution. Only
twelve counties remain to be heard from,
which will probably change the majority
somewhat, but will bo little affect the
general result, that General Canby ia au
thorized to state that the Constitution has
been rutified.
Tuber Candidates fob Governor of Vir
ginia.—The Virginia Radicals have brought
out Norton (negro) for Congress and H.
M. Bowden, of Norfolk, for Governor, in
opposition to the carpet-baggers nominated
by tbe Convention supposed to have been
backed by the Freedmen's Bureau. The
Dispatch applauds the spirit of the Virginia
darkies, who it says, do not intend to be
used as tools by mere adveoturers, and will
make a fight for their rights. The idea is
intolerable even to them that a flock of vag
abond vultures from the North should be
allowed to pounce down suddenly in Vir
ginia aud fatten upon the spoils of every
office in the Htate.
A correspondent of an English paper
proposes to settle the Irish question by a
plan similar to that of the “marriage and as
sociation.” He wishes the government to
offer a bounty to every person of Irish de
scent who marries one of English or Scotch
ancestry, and pay a premium of £10 for
every child bora of such marriages.
Negro Superiority Declared.—In a dis
cussion in the Pennsylvania Legislature on
the Registration question, John Hickman,
ibe Jacobin leader, asserted that “a» intelli
gent negro was superior to an ignorant Irish
Catholic, and should have the preference
TO VOTE.”
Thus, says the Wilmington Journal, creeps
out on every hand the malignant hostility of
the Radicals towards a class of men at the
North who did much of the best fighting in
the late struggle, and without whose aid tbe
war would doubtless have ended in a victory
to the Confederates; men who are good, re-
lialfie and industrious citizens wherever found,
devoted to their adopted homes, and true
to their new made friends.
The latest “official” returns of the Ar
kansas election (still incomplete) give only
1,310 majority for the Constitution, while
General Gillem reports that in one county
the vole exceeded the number registered by
1,196, and in another by 730.
It Is stated that Sir Robert Napier, com
manding tbe British army m Abyssinia, is not

THIS ELECTION IN FLORIDA.
As in Georgia and North Carolina the
Radicals have carried the election in Flori
da, and judging from the accounts which
wo read in the papers of the latter State the
same unscrupulous means were resorted to
there to accomplish their purpose as were
so unblushingly employe ! in our owu State.
The Jacksonville Union of the 9th inst.,
gives returns from sixteen counties, and
claims that the Constitution is ratified, that
Reed (Radical) is elected Governor, and
that the State Legislature is strongly Repub
lican. The counties from which returns are
given are aa follows : Alachua, Columbia,
St. Johns, Nassau, Levy, Madron, Hamil
ton, Jefferson, Leon, Gadsden, Bradford,
Baker, Patnam, Marion, Mnnroe, Escumbia,
Liberty and Duval.
In these sixteen coun ties the majorities
for the Constitution and Reed
amount to 5820
Against the Constitution aud lor Wal
ker and Scott 1840
Leaving majority for Constitution and
Reed 4,185
Reed’s majority over Scott 5,882
In Florida the vote was on tbe ratification of
the Constitution, known as the Reed-Osborn
Constitution, and for Governor, a represen
tative in Congress aud members of the Leg
islature.
A correspondent of the Tallahassee Sen
tinel gives the following explanation of the
canvass in Florida:
The parties at issne were the Democratic
or Conservative party, embracing nearly tbe
entire old white population of the State,
with a large proportion of the new settlers,
and a considerable number of colored peo
ple; opposed to whom, and to each other,
even more bitterly, were the two wings of
the Radical parly. Their divisiou com
menced, or at least found its first develop
meat, daring the session of the late so called
Constitutional Convention. That body split
into two, and formed two Constitutions,
called, respectively, from the names of their
leading supporters, the Reed-Osborn Consti
tution, and the Ricbards-Biliings Constitu
tion. The former, as compared with the
Constitution lately drafted for the other
States, is extremely liberal and conservative;
the latter, violently proscriptive and radical.
Tbe former having received the larger num
ber of signatures ot members of tbe Con
vention, was, by order. of General Meade,
submitted to a vote of tlie people last Mon
day, Tuesday aud Wednesday, and we pre
sume has been ratified.
Its framers, before their adjournment,
nominated a general ticket ot officers as fol
lows:
For Governor—Mr. Harrison Reed, of
Wisconsin, United State* Mail Agent.
For Lieutenant-Governor—Mr. Gleason,
also of Wisconsin, but lately a resident of
tiouth Florida; and lastly, Captain Hamil
ton, ot Pennsylvania, late of the Freedman’s
Bureau. Their Radical opponents put into
the field & Mr. Walker, at present of Key
West, for Governor. Mi Christy, of Jack
sonville, for Lieutenant-Governor, and Col.
Liberty Billings, of New Hampshire, tor
Congress.
The Conservative nominees were Colonel
George W. Scott, of this city, for Governor
Mr. Hall, of Pensacola, for Lieutenant-Gov
ernor, and Mr. Friend, of Fernandiua, for
Congress. The two last named were thor
oughly loyal to the United States Govern
ment all through tbe wai; the last, though a
native of Pennsylvania, yet having long re
sided in Florida, was, from the beginning to
the end ot the confliot, an active, zealous,
intelligent and very efficient officer ot the
Confederacy*- W« have strong hopes that he
and bis worthy associates dn lhe > Conserva
tive ticket have been eleoted.
The Reed men were, we suppose, unan
imous in their vote for the Constitution,, and
zealously desirous of the election of their
ticket ■ ,
The Billings men cared little about the

A REPORT HAVING BEEN eitemlT.ly circulated
that I voted the Radical Ticket at therec ‘
election, I take this method of informing all tb
persons who are not sufficiently acquainted with me
to know my political views, that the report la a scan
dalous LIE, as I voted tbe entire CONSERVATIVE
TICKET from beginning to end, and also spent the
greater part of three days at tbe polls electioneering
lor the Ticket.
Never baying been a Radical, or even a Republican,
and not being desirous of obtaining the "spoils of
