Whenever any Radical lirolirnnd, Iny.

day after day ab<-ut rebel outrages, reb

never hear anything from them concern

other four white men who Imvo been
murdered in the same vicinity since the

No, we hear nothing from these Rad-

meeting of negroes ut Macon, Georgia,

Hank Hobbcr Arrgsted.
Tho Cannl Bnnk of New Orleans was
recently robbed of $50,000. A few
days ago the. robber, whose name is
Ap. Rilfool, was discovered and arres
ted by otKecre ieard nnd Farrell, nnd ns
the nrrest was nccumplished under very
singular circumstances, wo present the
full particulars us given hy u New Or
leans paper :
Tho skill nnd ingenuity displayed in
working up the cuse, anu carrying it to
n successful issue, reflects the highest
credit upon them. Visiting the bank
shortly niter the robbery had beon com
mitted, they noted everything thut wns
calculated to help them in tho search
they had determined to make—nothing
esenpod their careful scrutiny. They
saw at n glance that the thief must Imvo
been an exceedingly tall man, with long
arms, to Imvo taken the envelopo con
taining tho money from the spot whore
it had been plucod by tho cxchango
clerk, Mr. I*. L. Duquency, and on a
minute exnmiratlon ol tho lower ledge
of the railing upon which ho must have
stopped, they discovered tho imprint of
a tuck. This at once urt-csted their at
tention, und they argued to themselves
tlmt thu man evidently had worn a
1 mnehino-mado shoo or hoot, as in these
a steel tack or rivot it always driven
about the centre or just beyond the
►>lmnk. It will lw admitted thut this
was but a i>oor clue upon which to hang
u hope of pursuing the seuroh to a uuo-
easeful issue, and the result only proves
what limy hu accomplished by remtlute
and expert detectives, when added to
the Eejn tl du corpe which exi*ts among
them, is the gruud incentive of n large
reward. These two men immediately
became lost to almost everything save
u contemplation of men’s feet. They
walked stealthily behind nil the tall men
they met, endeavoring to catch a glimpse
of the soles of their boots, hoping to see
some protruding tnck which might lead
to a discovery. Day* of weury nnd
fruitless search passed. They had in
spected the soles of nlinost every indi-
. vtdtiftl who wulka our streets without
avail, when the metest oh unco revealed
. wlmt they had sought so long and vain
ly. lluving sauntered together into the
, City Hotel about two u’etouk, while
j most of the guests were seated around
the long tuliles in the reading mom, or
guthered in cosy knots conversing on
thu topics of thu day, they sat down to
| observe, und compare notes,
j Presently Officer l-'nrrell observed n
J lurgo man sitting on the opposite aide
j of the table, with one foot resting on
j his kffi;e. He immediately culled Izard's
attention to tho man, who seemed to he
cmleuvoring to bend down a luck in his
hoot with the und of his penknife. The
intense satisfaction nnd suprisu of the
two*detectives inuy bo rundily imagined.
Her* wus a man who answered their
I idea of the lobbcr exactly He w us tail,
, long limbed, und thurc, from the cei t u
of his boot, protruded a steel tnck. To
quietly walk rou; d to where the mansut,
( to touch him on tho shouldei und whis
per in his eur thut he was a prisoner
j wus the work of a moment. Thu inun-
| tier In which the man started, trembled
' and turned pale, would have convinced
- them of his guilt had they seen no tale
.telling tuck. Without useless words
I they caused the man to walk with ilium
to the Chief of Police’s oflioe; alter u
I few attempts at prevarication, iiu made a
lull coniesfion. It seems that going to
thu hunk to enquire the rate ol oxuliHngc,
, ho saw the utcik leave his dusk, und
. through lliu wiru gauze deteceri the men-
' ey envelope lying on the ledger. A
wild iuqmlsu seized him to piMMi-ss it,

lessly left,thu bunk, lie Hinted further,

the largo runout contained in the envel
ope, and seeing that the notes were all
numbered, hnd cut a mat truss in his room
tit the City Hotel, and thrust them in,
hoping to leave the city in a few days
unobserved with his prize, to wait until
the aflsir had blown over, and he might
offer the notes with impunity. On re
pairing to the City Hotel, the officers,
after a private conversation with Mr.
Morse, the proprietor, obtained the
r iper key to the room, and were soon
posHoeaion of the prize which they
had industriously sought, nnd the lots
of wlicli hud been so absorbing 11 tophi

were safe, there being fifty one thousand

"I have purchased lands bordcringon

South Carolina led of! on the 14th in
the Southern elections this month uoder
tho Constitutional plan of Reconstruc
tion. She follows Alabama and Arkan
sas, both of which, it is alleged, have
ndonted Radical constitutions, and elect
ed Radical Slnto i.nd national officers.
The latest registration (March 81) nl-
lowod to be published is that of oouth
Carolina, whore wo find, nt that date,
47,171 whites registered, against 80,379
blacks—showing a black majority 32,209.
It is Romowhut singular, says the N. Y.
Herald, that while the military command
ers in the South uro willing to allow
ty to be given to the latest regis
tration in cases where the blacks pre
ponderate, they studiously withold tho
figures where there is gaud reazon to
believe the whites hate increased the
number of tlioir registration, of, It tnay
be, are in a majority. It is well known
that in Virginin, North Carolina, Geor
gia, Louisiana nnd other Southern States
where registration wns revised after the
convention vote, tho returns have been
pocketed by tho generals commanding
tho departments, nnd ns yot are only to
bo judged by the ratio of those who Imvo
dedai 11I tlioir intentions to register, and
those who still adhere to their doturmi-
natiun to have nothing whatever in do
with the business of voting under tho'
negro reistrntinn policy. Calculating!
by this standard, there is good reason
to believe that tho white Conservatives
have largely increased in numbers upon
the revised registers in oil the States,
nud now immensely overbalance the
white Southern Union men who can take
the iron olad or any other oath, perhaps.
The whole difficulty, therefore, lies with
tho votea of the Mucks— boW they shall
be cast so us to conduce towards th*
common advantage ol both races in tho
South.
Tho total registration in 1807 wns oh
follows ; Whites, 031,701 ; blacks,
097 960—showing an nggregnto black
majority of 08,269. Th.it this majority
has been more thnn overbalanced hy the
increased white registration in 1808 un
der rev sion, is almost certain. It on
ly remains, then, for the Conservatives
to adopt a policy of moderation towards
the blacks in order to carry the whole
Southern country like n whirlwind over |
the Radicals. The white C< nservnl ▼ -s
—the natives of the soil, those to tlie
manor horn—'hate not come nut in their'
strength tq on any political contest yet
hod nt the polls since the beginning of
the rebel)Inn. Thu blacks have not yet|
seen their old masters going in a body
to deposit their votes. Distend, they
have followed the lead or have been led
hy the nrn> hy somo Northern rapscall
ion who hud ‘been expelled from his
own region hucausu lie would no longer
be tolerated therein, and tied South to
honefil his fortunes and humbug tho poor
lilnuks. Now, w hen the Southern whites
conclude to vote—a rnnrlnsion they
should not hodtato to nrii.'cat promptly
—tho blaoks will nuiurully ha inclined to
think twice (>■ f ro they shncl 1 • themsolvei
to u Northern und a m r odious task
master thnn the intelligent among them
were ever accustomed to obey in the
South. That they will in large numbers
go with their old masters, their old
nui^hliors, their old protectors, is as rou-
aonuhly to b* expected ns thut the Prodi
gal Son returned to his father's wel

the Southern Stales yet to vote, and,

be admitted, while those sent to thu low

this gallant soldier nnd gentleman from
Dry Tortugne, took place on the between
the 6th and 7th of March lost. Tho
Colonel managed to take along with him
three other prisoners nnd ono of 4he
soldiers who wore on guard nt the time,
being tho one who was the sentinel in
charge of the boat connected with the
post,whilst he wos on guard. It m sup
posed thut the Colonel in some way
managed to bribe tho guard to desert,
nnd to aid him and tho other three pris
oners to esenpo. An soon ae tbo escape
was diccovered, the United States
steamer Bibb was sent ont in search of
the fugitives, but e ie failed to find any
trace of them. On the night of the
escape it w. a blowing a gale,and as the
(mat which they look wus hut email and
in bad condition, it ie probable that they
all perished.

Josiah P. Brooke was called and uf
firmed—Ilavo lived in this city since
1858. Formerly lived to Williamsburg,
Long Island. Came there from Scot
land, of which coentry I am a native,
about the last of Juno, 1848. Know a
man named Bradley, who then resided
there. Saw him for tbc first time m this
city lust June. Had heard something
ubout one Bradley who hud beon ruis-
ing disturbance here, but did not know
it was the same man till i ml him in
the market, when I recognized him at
once. Am sure this ia the nnmo man.
My memory may not be perfectly cor
rect a» to names, but I never forgot a
face, and 1 knew him as rood aa 1 saw
him.

llo used to como into a little shoe-
shop in New York, near Peck Slip, kept
by Dare & Carroll. They did some bus
iness at repairing and tide Bradley
came in to take out work. He would
often bring a law-book under his arm
and spout luw in tho shop, amusing the
hands, who used to tough ut him. Am
positive he is the same pereou ; recog
