THE relief swindle.
The scalawag organ at Augusta, after having
lent its influence to cheat those who were silly
enough to heed its counsels, into the belief that
the Atlanta Constitution would give them relief
with negro suffrage and white disfranchisement,
now that Congress has stricken the uncon
stitutional relief clause from the Constitution,
has the effrontery to call upon the legislature
to accomplish the promised relief in some other
way. It says :
1. if the relief measure be nullified, then
there is another alternative to be taken, which
will be done by the Legislature, th»t will pre
vent the Shylocks of the land from exercising
their present and past instincts, to the utter
destruction of the people of the State. We
shall see.”
Upon which the Columbus Enquirer re
marks :
“ If this i9 the game that is to be played—
if the people are first to be cheated by the
incorporation of a provision in the Constitution
that the framers knew would be nullified by
Congress, and if Congress is afterwards to be
cheated by the Legislature re-enacting in the
form of a law the provision that Congress re
quired it to strike from the Constitution—we
know of but one course that the Democratic
members of the Legislature can pursue to
thwart the double outrage. That course is to
vote against the amendment as required by
Congress. The Legislature will have no power
to alter the Constitution. By its own terms,
it requires the assent of two successive Legis
latures, and a subsequent ratification by the
popular vote. The Convention and Congress
nave made a very “tangled web,” which the
Legislature will find great difficulty iu straight
ening out.”
Rs-Opening of tbe Aetor sa.wie, New
York,
This well known and favorite hotel was re
opened on Thursday last, after having been
closed for repainting and refurnishing during
several months. The Messrs. Stetson, the
prorietors, Bigoalized the event by an ex
cellent dinner, to which were invited the re-
preaentatives of the public press in the city
and its vicinity. The Sun says about one
hundred guests were present. The viands
were excellent and excellently cooked, the
wines abundant and of choice quality; and a
fine band enlivened the ocoaalon with music.
As Mr. Chas. A. Stetson, Senior, entered tho
room, soon after the dinner bad commenced,
he was received with enthusiastic plaudits,
which he gracefully acknowledged, and
when the rage of hunger had been some-
what aspeased, he made a neat little speech,
in which he said that he had been for thirty-
two years proprietor of the Astor, bat that,
having retired, he had left the house in braver
hands. He concluded his remarks by offer
ing u a toast “Tbe Press of the United
States." The affair was in every respect
success, and the Stetsons begin their admin
istration of the house with the good wishes
of every gentleman who may enjoy their lib
eral hospitality. The hotel has been re
painted and decorated from top to bottom,
and its furniture thoroughly renewed, at an
expense of about 8280,000, and nothing Is
lacking to assure it, daring many years to
come, that pre-eminence among the first-
class hotels of New York which it has a!
ways enjoyed. *

The following article which wc copy from
the editorial column Of the New York San,
a Radical imitator of the New York Herald,
will demonstrate to onr readers the manner
in which public opinion in favor of the nom
ination of Judge Chase by the National Dem
ocratic Convention, is manufaslured by the
Northern Radical press. The Sun, while it
support* Gen. Grant and the Chicago plat
form, claims the ciedit of having first brought
forward Judge Chase as the Democratic can-
didate, and is now seemingly earnest in its
endeavors to create the Impression in tha
minds of theNotthem Democracy that “Old
Green Backs,” as he calls the Chief Jus
tice, is the unanimous choice of the South.
We apprehend that there is abont as lunch
sincerity in the editor's pretended endorse
ment of the availability of Judge Chase as
there is truth in his assertion of that gentle
man’s great popularity at the South;
THE SOOTH UNANIMOUS FOB OLD GREENBACKS.
We are enabled to state on the best an-
thority, that the Democracy of the South
are now with one heart turning to Old Green
backs as the only statesman who can save the
Democratic party from total defeat at the
Presidential election.
Hitherto the leaders of the party iu the
Southern Statea have looked on Winfield
Scott Hancock as the earning man; and his
administration at New Orleans has given
them the well-founded hope that, if elected
to the Presidency, he would administer the
Government in the iuterest of the Conserva
tive White Man's party of the country. But
now that they see that his nomination by the
National Convention is out oi the question,
and that if he were nominated a large por
tion oi the party would turn Iheir hacks on
him and would either vote for Grant or else
stay away from the polls altogether, they
have become convinced that the hero oi
Spotteylvama will not do for them either. Iu
this sad emergency, they aie ready to throw
themselves into the mighty arms of the
Chief Justice, even though the negro is
folded in the same liberal embrace. His
condnet at the impeachment trial, and his
dignified, conservative, noble bearing in
sooiety at Richmond, the iormer capital oi
the Lost Cause, have conspired to give him
a popularity among the intelligent classes of
the South, hardly second to that he has long
enjoyed among tha laboring people of the
same seolioo. In a word, the Democratic
] tarty of the South are now unanimous for
1 )ld Greenbacks.
It would seem that a fact like this ought
.1 settle the question of the nomination; but
political prejudice is hard to overcome, per-
sion is blind and violeut, and personal am
bitioo will not open it eyes to the truth.—
However, the disinterested love of success
and of spoils is difficult to resist; and it the
conviction that Chase is the only man with
whom the Democracy can possibly win,
which now possesses tne minds of the lead
ers, can get control of the masses before the
anniversary of our national independence, tho
thing will be done. Otherwise, wreck and
dissolution seem inevitable.
While the South stands uncommitted to
any Presidential aspirant, willing to leave the
selection of a candidate to the Democracy of
the North and WeBt, and ready to support
whoever may receive tbe nomination on a
constitutional, Democratic platform, her peo
ple will reqnire higher authority than the
editor of the Sun to assnre them that the man
who “would administer the government in
the interests of the Conservative White
Man's Party of the country” would be re
pudiated by “a large portion of the party"
North—that they would “iurn their backs"
on such a nominee; and “either vote for
Grant or stay away from the p die altogetli-
We have a better opinion of the true
Democracy of the North and West than to
believe them thus faithless to principle. Aud
Unst that notwithstanding the
A Washington letter says politioal circles
in that city are becoming greatly excited over
the probable action of the New York Con
vention. It is stated on good authority that
in the event Pendleton fails to receive the
nomination bia influence will be thrown for
Gen. Hancock.
Tax estate of the late ex-President Bach-
snen is estimated at 8300,000. He left va
rious legacies to his servants; $2,000 to tbe
poor of Lancaster, in addition to 88,000 pre-
vioualy donated ; $1,000 to tbe Presbyterian
Church, Lancaster, of which he was a mem
ber, and tbe balance of bia estate, real and
personal, as follows : One-fourth to Mrs.
Harriet Lane Johnson; one-foarfe to Bev.
E. T. Buchanan, and the remainder to va
rious nephews and neicea. The Wheatland
property goea to Mrs. Harriet L. Johnson.

that the Mexicao government Will repudiate

of the Engliah debt. The Eogliah debt,
some of it at least, was contracted in 1828,
or near abont that time.

regardless of principle, for “the love of suc

ourselves by rushing into the armB of any

tbe North and West have spurned the
political and social contamination. It is in
their power to preserve the country from the
threatened degradation and ruin, and if the
white men of onr day shall prove recreant to
themselves and their posterity by unwisely
surrendering the white man’s rightful
heritage to an inferior race, it will not be
with the voluntary example or consent of
the white men of the South.

mittee of the House of Representatives
under data ol the 81b instant, for the infor
mation as to what snma are needed in either
or all of the military districts for tbe purpose
of carrying out tbe reconstruction laws; I
have the honor to etato that the Paymaster
Geoeral of the army reports on the subject
as follows;
“Tbe deficiency estimates received from
the several reconstruction districts in No
vember and December list, amounting in all
to $1,250,251 12, wen exhibited to the

ber 11th, as follows: 1st district, 850,000; 2d

1th district, 8383,822; 5th distriot, $521,-

Seoond district, $110,183.74; Third district,
$97,000; Fourth distnot, $150,000; Fifth

No other data have come to this office, and

of the Treasury:
Department of State, )
Washington, D. (J., June 8, 1868. >
Sir;—The attention of this department has
been called to a provision in th* Internal
Revenue bill before Congress, which pro
poses to tax foreign Insurance Companies
three per cent, on their gross premium re
ceipts, while the like receipts of American
Companies are to be taxed at only a moiety
of that amount.
It is hoped that the expdiency of this dis
crimination will be well considered. I will
consequently thank you to bring it to the no
tice of the proper authorities.
1 have tho honor to be, sir, your obedient
servant, William H. Seward.
The Terrible Hall Storm 1m Texas-
Loss $500,000.
The San Antonia Express of May 21st
gives the following particulars of the late
disastrous hail storm :
Our city is a perfect wreck ; every house
in it has received some damage; many are
in complete ruins, with nothing but frag
menti of walls standing. The hail stones
penetrated the best roofs, going through the
roofs like cannou balls. All the windows
facing the north have been smashed iu; even
window shutters and doors were broken
down. The appearance of the city could not
have been worse uuder a severe bombard
ment . Trees are stripped of their leaves and
branches, which lie piled up lathe yards and
streets; the sides of homes exposed to the
hail have the appearance of having with
stood a thousand discharges of grape and
canister. The roofing of the entire city is
perforated like a sieve.
The hailstones were of the regular shape
aud all sizes, as if a mass of ice had broken
above our devoted heads, and driven by a
tornado to the earth. Out hailstone was
found weighing over five pounds, while a
great many as large as a man’s fist were
picked up.
Many of the families whose houses were
beaten down took shelter under beds and ta
bles, and thus escaped bodily harm. We
have only heard of one death, a negro boy
several had limbs broken and severely braised,
while the whole population was frightenet
almost to death.
Tbe damage is of every character, and five
hundred thousand dollars will not cover it
all; roofs were universally destroyed and
windows broken in; household furniture was
entirely demolished in some houses, and in
many stores the damage was great. Tbe
Menger House was greatly damaged, the
Kleopper Hotel is almost a wreck, and the
Convent buildings are terribly cut up. All
the blinds and window glass on tbe northern
side were destroyed. French’s building suf
fered greatly, and, in fact, all buildings hav
ing windows to the north,

We ere permitted to make tbe following
extract from s loiter received by a factor in
this city from e planter in Jefferson coauty,
dated tbe 12tb inst.:
“ Tbe crops in this section are greatly in
need of rain, and from present indications
I fear it will be sometime before we get
it As a general thing they are in good
order, bat unusually small. I bear of a field
of 150 acres cat down by tbe worms. In the
same section I learn one field of cotton has
been entirely rained, and bas been planted
in corn. Tbe prospects tor an average yield
are not encouraging.”
Til. Israelite. Moving.
Tbe Israelites have not forgotten or for
given tbe order issned by General Grant ia
1862 when in command of tbe Department
of the Tennessee. It was dated Oxford,
Mississippi, December 17, 1862. That order
charged “the Jews" with violating “every
regulation of trade established by tbe
Treasury Department, also Department
orders,” end pronounced their expulsion
from the Department within twenty-fonr
boars after tbe receipt of tbe order by post
commanders. It provided as follows; “No
passes will be given this people to visit
headquarter* for tbe purpose of making
personal applications for trade permits."
A St. Louis paper publishes a long card,
signed by about two hundred Israelites of
that city, in which the order referred to is
reproduced and denounced. ‘The signers,
disclaiming anything of a partisan spirit,
protest that while aome are Radicals, some
Conservatives, and aome Democrats, all
agree in tbe determination to oppose
General Grant’s election. Tbe card thoe
concludes:
SbaU we as Israelites vote for such a man 1
Will tbe 2,300 votes from Israelites in this
city belp make a President with the name of
U. S. Grant, who, attaining power by acci
dent, issued an order expelling all Israelites,
whether guilty or not, from bia department
merely because they were Israelites? Hardly
can we believe that, in view of this insalt,
and onreyoked as tbe outrage stand* there
will be one low enongh found in onr midst to
think of it Witboot being prophets, we
baxard tbe prediction that there will be eg
few Israelitio votes cast for General Grant
next November as he had occasion to make
me.es under bia Infamous order.
The feeling expressed ia the above is the
feeling that moat animat* the whole Hebrew
th* United States, and th.
they will rote see unit

,-ljf* are told that in Ala-
General Mason's residence was unroofed
and bis family exposed to tbe inclement
storm. Bat tbe most distressing pictures of
all are the habitations of the poor people,
iheir booses battered in, household goods
destroyed, and tbeir little gardens ruined.
Tbe corn patches and gardens are flattened
to tbe ground, and have the appearance of
haying passed through a chopping mil). All
tbe fruit crop is destroyed.
Tbe storm resembled a terrific battle tbe
lightning flashing in fearfnl vividness, tbe
thnnder crashing like a thousand cannon,
and the bail falling like shot; so fearful waa
tbe noise that no one eonld hear uoleaa they
screamed in each other's ears. Never in tbe
history of ibis city, never in the memory of
tbe oldest inhabitant, was jnet such a storm
experienced.
We learn that tbe ball storm commenced
eight miles this side of New Braunfels;
reached only a abort distanos below onr
city, and extended from five to twenty miles
in width—destroying everything over a
region thirty miles from north to south and
ten to twenty miles from east to west.

Niw Orleans, June 15.—General Buchanan
has relieved the New Orleans Gas Company
from the action of General Banks’ order of
March 15, 1864, requiring said Company to
transfer to the Quartermaster’s Department all
the stock standing on the books in the name of
persons who were engaged in civil or military
service of the late rebel government, or who
had not complied with the Act of Congress of
July 17, 1862, or the President’s proclamation
of December 8, 1862. All such stock, together
with all the unpaid dividends, which have ac
crued since January, 1866, is released from the
restrictions of said order.
No attempt at the inauguration of the State
officials was made to-day, as called for in Pack
ard’s two proclamations, though they were in
consultation this morning, and a considerable
crowd of negroes were in attendance at the
Mechanics’ Institute in expectation of the im

The Chsu MoVcraewc from a Democratic
point of View.
The suggestion that the Democratic party
sbonld nominate Judge Chase as Its candi
date for the Presidency has celled forth i
storm of ridicule and deaunciation through
out the country. Leading Democratic jour
nal everywhere say they would refuse to rap
port him, and express the utmost surprise
that bis name should have been mentioned
in such a connection. This preposterous
movement or urinated in and has been con
fined to New York. TM New York World
has been the organ of those who started it.
That journal for several days in a aeries of
articles, which were rather adriotly written,
did its bast to bring the Democratic party
over to the support of Mr. Chase. It profes
sed to be merely giving the viewf| which
governed other people wno advocated hia no
mination, but it was in feci MUing forth its
own wish's, and baa been laboring to raeue
hia nomination. Within the last two days
the World ha* changed its tone, and tbe
Times bra taken up the burthen Of its song
of last week, and sings it with a chorus
which compliments th* wisdom and virtue
of the World. The Ohara movement* we
think, may be regarded as a frilurs. It was
a heavy speculation on a very small capital.
New York politicians ire very ■taewd, but
not shrewd enongh to persuade the Demo-
bate been initlatotffor the purpose of defeat
