Abo, to employ the ablest of counsel to aid in his defense, and to furnish the means for the ample support and education of his family. This is highly commendable an I right. The National Republican (Washing ton,) speakiug of the elections, says: "The President is calm and quiet as a sum aer’s morning. The result of the ; i lscti ms confirms him more strongly' »ud determinedly in bis patriotic pur- j ;*se and policy. Our convictions are clear that ll o final triumph of those high conservative principles guiding the Administmion are pointed out clear as . _ l.:_! -' „ .i « o ».«vi vuc owe erec- ' ti- ns. A Washington dispatch of the 7th i-ist , says that it is reported and believ "l at the capital, that Mr. Welles, the Revenue Commissioner, who has inves ■’gated the present system of taxation, " ill propose considerable reduction in ■He tariff and also in the internal taxes. 1 P is well known that the revenue from t! eae sjurccs greatly exceeds the amount | ercgjry aDy economical adminisira- j i nos the Government. Including the 1 ■ ’er«st on the matured debt, and an ““pin sum for a sinking fund, it is esti- ! l ‘*d 'hat the revenue for the present i eai year will be $650,000,000. Djsath or A Bisdop.— Right Rev. 1 '? A. Rutledge, BUbop of Florida,! lied in Tallahassee on the 6th of No- i ember, in the sixty year of his ! <ge and the forty-fourth year of his nietetry. We believe his death was •missioned by a cancer in the mouth, j He was a native of South Carolina,' and the earlier years of his ministry were spent in that State. He was ed ucated at Yale College, flis father was the venerable Chancellor Rut ledge? One of the methods r«sorted to by the Radicals of Joliet, Jll., to show their delight at the result of the recent election in that State, was burning the C.institution of the United States, which was done in the open streets, amid the most vociferous cheering from tiie croud of partisans assembled.— This shows where the teachings of Summer uDd Stevens are leading the people. A dispatch from Washington says : 1 It is reported that Hon. Thad. Ste- j vens has a plan in regard to the Pres- 1 •dent which will be a little less abi ur t' than direct impeachment, without pre vious investigation, and which would preclude the possibility of instituting proceedings which, upon trial of the * case, might fail. His plan is said to appoint a joint committee at the open- \ ing of the coming session, exactly as 1 the Joint Committee on Reconstruc tion was appointed, whose duty it shall be to fully investigate the course and conduct of Mr« John on, and re port to the two Houses what action, if any, is demanded of Congress by the facts elicited. The New Orleans Times says that fifty thousand hogsheads is the general estimate of the crop, which is one-eigbtb of the old crop. A large amount of teed will be saved for meat year, when it is ealeu'ated tLe crop will he doubled. l>s-»ttii) •€ the Negro. A census of Mississippi, taken this year, shows that the total population of that state is now 65,000 lest than it was in 1860. A census being taken in Alabama shows a proportionate decrease in all the counties in that state where 'he wot k has been completed. In other Southern Btat< s, the w t o enumera -I'iog the population is in progress, uuder state authority, and it is believed that i | the results will show a similar depopu- J j Ltioo throughout the South. The most important fact wbioh is re-1 rested by the census in Mississippi and I Al*hmils is the great snd rspid decrease | of the blaok population The decrease ; of white population in xix years has j been, in the state of Mississippi, 8,000. j The doer* use of the black population in : Mi-nissipi baa been in the same time, 57,900. In those portions cf Alabama where the ceyius is completed, the rel ative and crease -f blacks and whites is shown to have been ab ut the same. The blaek population bus decreased in -ix years at the rates of I'd per cent, while in the peiiod, under all the de structive agencies of civil war, the di cretse of white population Has been in the neighborhood of 3 per cent. If the ratio shall be the same throughout the Sru'b, it will appear that the black pop ulation in that section has been reduc ed from4,ooo 000 in 1860, to 3,480,000 iu 1866 These facts, says a cotemporary fore tell with certainty that is more reliable <han mere prophecy, what is the inev itable destiny of the negro race iu this country. The Legislature. j This body, we arc pleased to see, is | exercising due caution in all their pro ceedings. We think it behooves us, as a people, under tbe circumstances, to move in all, state and Federal, with ! the u'most precaution We are not surprised at the slow prog re a they make jin legislation ted the reconsideration ; of so many or their actions. In the Senate on the 19th, Mr. O. I’ Beall roved to reconsider tbe action of ths Senate on Saturday in rejecting the bill to modify the Act creating Connty Courts. The motion prevailed and the bill was referred to a special committee | of five of 'he Senate. Tbe resolution requesting tbe Gove nor to lay before tbe next session of tbe General Asssembly a statement of thi amount if land owned by tbe Btate, and what pries the same would bring, was laid on tbe table sot tbe present. Tbe bill for tbe relief of the people of 'He S»«a«. -r **— -ra cial order of tbe day. Mr. Grrshatn offered an amendment to the Stay Law, explanatory of tbe provisions of the Act. It explains that the failure of the lebtor to pay the one fourth required to be paid on tbe Ist January nex', shall not give tbe credi tor the right to claim payment of the whole of the debt. The amendment was lost. Mr. O. P. Beall offered an amend ment providing that the first section of the Act in force be altered that where the debtor shall tail to pay as required by law, his first installment, be shall not be forced to pay the balance until the lime and is tbe manner prescrib- and by law. Tbe amendment also provides that the first payment shall be made in January, 1868. The amendment was carried. The bill was finally passed, provid ing that the time for payment of the first fourth be extended to Ist of Janu ary, 186$, and tbs remaining install ments annually there .fier. .From Washington. Nkw York, Nov. 19.—The Post’s Washington special says facts divulged to-day, show there is little hope the President will recommend impartial auf frage in his message. A special to the Commercial says it is confidently expected that reconstruc tion will be amicably settled early the approaching seasiou. Negotiation for that purpose is in progress between the i President and leading politiaians of all j parties North and South, basis of settlement to be universal suffrage and general amnesty. The President , partially accedes to this proposition, but ! insists upon Constitutional ground*, that the question of suffrage promptly be : long* to the State, and is eo far averse to any action of Congress upon that aub ; ject. Tbe telegram also states that if as - can be obtained from Southern leaders of the speedy adoption of uni versal suffrage, the Preaidentwill waive his objections. Large Reward. —The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company offer a reward of SIO,OOO for the arrest and conviction of the parties who robbed the passenger and mail tram on the Bth inst.,near Franklin, Kentucky. Ac tive measures are on foot to apprehend tbe perpetrator* es this daring outrage, and the large reward offered by the RaiUeed company offer strong induce ments to increased exertions and vigi lance, and wo trust that the villains may be quickly caught and made an exam pit of that will prevent a rtoarreaee of *u*h outrage*. 11n Fcaileininry. It would seem that Gov. Jenkins does not altogether agree with the gentleman to whom this matter was committed, and bis reasoning on the ! subject, we think is very good. We 1 publish that port'on of his special mew ■ sage, bearing directly on this subject.* I "I am constrained to say, that Ido I not concur in some of the views pre sented by th m, though it is not with out distrust id the correctness of my own opinion, that I venturo to differ from gentlemen of such unquestiona ble übili'y. First. In the event of the establish ment of a Penitentiary ut some other locality, which I think altogetherexpe rt ent, I do not approve tbe proposition to abandon tbe present cne altogether. If this be done, there will doubl'esi be an almost total sacrifice of the invest ment in the gr, unds and buildings now appropriated to that object. For that purpose, it is very valuab'e property ; for any other, it would be nearly val ueless. It should not, at this time, be regarded as in a dilapidated condition. At a trifling expense, the only por tion of the improvements which now wears the aspect of a ruin, could be put in thorough repair. If it be retain ed and used as heretofore, ti e cost of building anew one elsewhere wi Ibe very much less ned. Agreeing with the Commissi.ners in tne opinion that white ur.d colored convicts should be kept and employed separate'y, I sug gest that this object may be more thor oughly attained by having two State prisons, at different localities. The quarry'ng of granite, 1 mestone, and other inaDriuls, so forcibly recommen ded in tbe rep rt, might bo advantage ously done by colored convicts, in a new locality, whilst, in the present one other employments might be prosecu ted. ‘‘Again I must dissent from tbe pro priety of dispensing altogether with employment in mechanic arts in this institution. I yield to no one in ap preciation ot those arts, or in respect for those who worthily pursue than but I do not petceivA that they will be degraded by having tueir handicraft taught to, or practiced by, convicts. — Similar ;y of occupation does not, by any means, necessitate social inter course, or imply social equality. “If mechanical pursuits are degra ded by the engagement in them of dis charged convicts, so must any and all other pursuit*; and tho question then arises, what are such persons to do ? Does the rrn«'.,r i-.rjiflnl.r nr muster mason who employs a discharged con vict, and who daily superintends and controls his labor, sink to his level ? If so, then the planter who may em ploy him to till his lands or tend bis flocks and herds, would do likewiso.— Tbe same reasoning might be applied to any other branch ol'industry, and the same policy extended would lead to no employment during the term of imprisonment, and uo adaptation to employment of any kind vhen it shall have ended. Better far at onse im prison them for life, or even take away that life, than so to shape your legis lation as to discourage their future engagement in respectable employ ments. Fohtcnatb Abkebt.—Ail of tbe gang (except three) concerned in stopping and robbing tbe train on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad have been arres ted and ara bow in durance vile For tunately not a man of then was ever a guerilla or ‘‘in the Rebel Army.” Their crime i» one of the most fiendish «n record—tho stoppage of a crowded passenger train by obstiuctions on the track, iu the dead ot night and when it was in rspid motion. It is wonderful that many were not killed. Charges mi Weighing Cotton There are complaints in various parts of this State, of improper charges be ing made fur weighing Cotton. It should be generally knows that tbe reg ulations of the Treasury Department only allows fifteen cents per b*!e. If more has been demanded, tbe parties have a right to demand its return, and if they refuse, to have them arrested. If the planter or merchant furnishes the scales and the bande for weighing the cotton, they cannot charge anything legally. Another Attempt. —On Saturday night, says the Nashville Press and Times, about 12 o’clock, an attempt was made to throw the train coming to this place on the LoumvPle and Nashville railroad from the track, by piling fence rails across the same The locality was near the place where the train was thrown off and robbed a few days ago, a few miles from Franklin, Kentucky. The persona who contem plated this repetition of that affair were evidently not so well vetted in this business as tbe others, for they neglected to fa-ten tbe rails down, and the engine ran through them without j being thrown off Ex-Lieut-Gen. I-ongstreet was in Eufaula Saturday last He received a rompUmeotwy serenade and other marked attention* fretn the citizen*. Freekmcn. M>uit LihUvti As the time ap - proaches fur making contracts with Freerfm-n and wtmen for tbe in tiing year, a few suggeeiioue may be of u*e to both emplo)era and employees Id quiries have been directed to Agent* of the Bureau whether contracts could be eotrre J into at tbit time with Fretd meo, and these Agents have not only asserted the validitjpot suob entrants made before the expiration of pret-eot engagements, but they have moreover strongly recommerdtd such aito n as being greatly conducive to the interest* es contracting parlies. If all contracts he deferred till Christ i aa or later, the necseaary consequence will be that ma ny lusty and unsatisfactory engage ments will he formed from a fear of los ing all good chances by being fmentailed by others. Scivauts, too, in that case, having no fixed abode, will be seen wandering about without shcl er in ms.* ny instances, and thus they must often make contracts without adequate monos for loiking into their merits. It will therefore be much to tbe int rest of all ocnccrncd to make contracts note when they can do so at their leisure ; thus both white and black persons will be free from all apprehensions on this score as to the future. Buck a course, too, will tend greatly to forestall tba l enterprising appendix if the Bureau, nephews and brothers ot Agents, who are driving a paying business in seduc :tie Negro from Lis home and kindred by daxzliDg pictures of tbe Mississippi Valley sod oth< r r gions of the West. Our advice to such of our colored peo ple a# can read this article, is that they will conault their interest and happiness by remaining where they sie What evidet.ee have they of the tru'h or re ality of one told or promised? In nine oases out of ten, they would get a Yan kee task-maker io tbe West—what that means, I should think, most of them have already learned in similar cases not a huudrod miles Dawson. I desire io conclusion, to draw (he attention of the Public to a rule, tLe general adoption of which wou'd be pro ductive of the greatest benefit to em ployer and employee. I allude to tbe practice es servants presenting a “Writ ten Character’’ i e. a Testimonial from their late employers. This is the uni versal custom io all other countries, and po-sesses the advantage of furnishing such information as he needs, and upon the servant as a stimulus to gain the good will and approbation of his employ er; for without such a “Character,” be cannot rrnenr» —e“s —*•*■*» ho will at the most, Le forced to con tent himself with an indifferent one. I would therefore recomend that em ployers would enenurage the introduc tion of this practice by voluntarily iff r ing a “Cbaractei’’to such of their ser vants, particularly domestic servauts, as they may ju lgc to be worthy of a g >od recommendation. They should at the same time explain tbcobjest of thi* Testimonial, aod recommend its careful preservation. Such a course once gen erally adopted with domestic servants, would soon be found to rc-comend itself to all, and in a few years would become universal. Care should be taken at the outset to state tho truth and nothing but the truth. When we consider what trouble aod annoyance our poor wives have gone through du’ing the past year in being worried by ignorant and imper tinent servants whose bad qualities could be ascertained only by taking them on trial for a whole year,—we would all grasp at any remedy ior this one of tne worst results ol emancipation. It is to be hoped that the papers gen erally will recommend this matter to the public. Alpha. Dawson, Not. 20, 1866. Ben. F. Butler. —Appleton’s Cyclo pedia of byngrapby gives the following account of one of Spooney Butler’s an cestral relatives : "Butler, John. —The atrocities committed by this miscreant during the revolutionary war almost rx ceed belief. He was a native of Con necticut, but removrd to the valley of Wyoming, where,in 1778, at the head of 1,600 men, of which 30*/ were In dians, and the rest tories paint'd like Indians, he attacked tbe towns and vil lages of that romantie region, and in discriminately massacred those who sub mitted as well as these who fought, wo men and children as well as man. To tbe question what terms would be grant ed, he replied ‘the hatchet!’ People of both sexea and every age were indis criminately shut up in bouses, which were then set on fire; some were held down in the flames by pitchforks, and, in one instance, at leas', a poor wretch had bis body a'uck full of pine knot splinters and then burned, etc.” The National InteUi</enecr says: “Tbe Southern people were educa ted in tbe school ofStatrs right*. They denied tbe sovereignty of the Govern ment. They held it to be tbe crea'ure of the states, and that tbe power which made eould also unmake. Tb<y, there fore, subordinated their allegiance to the Federrl Government to that due their State and prided themselves mo- e in being Virginians or Alabamians'ban e.tix Bsof the United States What ever others may think, therefore, they justly scorn the idea of being perjurers. But laying this consideration aside, they entered into a revolution for what, they deemed a jnst cause, or when begun, supported it as tbe only thoics ' between two evils.” Darius Kobbcry- a Nlinsasiri Bank Uubbed in Dayli|bt.

Into tbe draw cf li e Bank, it was easy for them to get. There they found $2,000, which xvns quickly appropria ted.
