A Month Carolina Postmaster.
The people of Bamberg, South Carolina, are
singulariy blessed. They have a negro post
master who can neither read nor writs, bnt
is a very aooommodating darkey, and when
man cornea for his mall the Poatmaater very po
litely refera him to the pile of loiters and papers
and tells him to help himself. Trne, important
letters are often delayed censing much confu
sion and man; cans words; bat that ia a trivia!
matter compared with the Inestimable privilege
of having a troolj loyl African corn field grad
uate to bless tba rebel, with hi. presence, and
give tbom tba mn of tho offlre. Some of tbe
nnregenerate speak of this state of affairs
sn ".anoyance,” but they are generally of that
olam who very unreasonably think that not be
ing able to road or write -onght to daqualify
man from acting a. postmaster.
Tbe Trlbnne, it aoems, ba. heard of this post
master, and ia moved to remark as follows con
earning him and hi. appointment:
Wo wonder If it ever occurred to the gentle
men who have tbe making of tbeae appoint
ments that though they atrut before the world
with boast, of magnanimity in never having
tried a rebel or bung a traitor, they have done
and are doing what is harsher and Infinitely
meaner Itao »oy penlafameat over it fl.oted by
a civilized Government. To put such a man a.
this Bamberg negro in aneb a place ia not merely
a political blunder; it is an ontrage npon com-
mon decency.
Did it ever ooonr to the Tribane that
the Bamberg postmaster and the shame
ful spectacle hia ignorance and inoapaelty pre
sents, ia one of the logical results and legiti
mate frnlta of the late eivil war, and tbe devil
try of "reconstruction”—both of whioh in'qni
ties tbe Trlbnne supported with a howling fer
ocity born of twenty five years plotting, and
planning, and debancblng the public mind and
oonscienoe ef the North? The Tribune should
treed very lightly on this ground. It did her
culean work to bring abont the condition of
things that makes this Bamberg oifisltl not only
possible, bnt popular with its people, and we
submit that lnatoad of casting him ont thna
ooninmellcndy, It should tsko him to Its bo
som.
The Relation of Whites and Blacks
The St. Louis Globe slates that a "mesa
meetlrg" of negroes was held a few evenings
slnoe at 8h Paul's Church, (oolored,) in that
oity, whereat resolution, were adopted In which
the spirit of castowaa denounced.” The res
olutions are prefaced with this preamble: B
Whereas. Among all classes In tbe city of St.
Lanin and State of Missouri, the evil spirit of
caste exists, and tbe unreasoning prejudices of
tbe people prevail, preventing ns, as people of
color, from enjoying those advantages tbit tend
to elevate men in the scale of being; shutting
every avenue leading to a knowledge of the
meobanloal arts, of commerce and trade, and
even denying large numbers of onr people
proper facilities for acquiring an education.”
There Is no donbt bnt tbxt, says the Nashville
Union and Amerioan, the matter is greatly ex
aggerated here, as ia invariably tbe case in
meetings of this character. Such meetings are
usually gotten np in the interest of demagogues
and controlled by demagogues. Bnt “the spirit
of caste" exists to no greater extent in the South
than it does in the North. With tbe few who
wish to nse the negro to advance their own in
terests or polltloal aspiration., this spirit is laid
aside for the nonce, bnt it ia still there. A. far
bark a. 1859, Mr. Lincoln showed that this
spirit existed among Abalilionisls, for bo was an
anti-slavery man, and ha confessed that he was
opposed to social and evon political equality.
In ono of hi. speeches in the memorsblo can
vas. between Senator Douglas and himself In
Illinois in that year, he said:
I will say, then, that I am not, nor nevor
have boon. In favor of bringing abont in any
way tbe noolel and political equality of tbe
while and black raoos—that I am not or ever
have been in favor of making voters or jurors
of negroos, nor of qualifying them to hold of-
fioa, or intermarry with tho white peoplo, and
I will say, ia addition to this, that there is a
pbysioa) difference between tbo white and black
raco. which I believe will forever forbid the
two races living together on terms of social and
political equality. And inasmuch aa they can
not so Uvo wbilo they do remain together,
(hero most be tbe position of superior and in
ferior, and I, a. mnch a. any other man, am in
favor of having tbo snoorior position assigned
to the white rnoo. * * • I will add to this
that I hsvo nover soen, to my knowledge, man,
woman or ohild who was in favor of produolng
perfect equality, sooial and political, botweeu
negroes and white mon.
Tbi. spirit of oasts ia ingrained in tbe
Northern peoplo as dcoply ns it is in those of
the Sonlb, nnd tbo negroe. will baTe to adopt
a far different policy than that they have pnr-
sned since tho war if they expect to oven
modify that apiriL Their oonrao toward tbe
Southern people ha. a general thing, has been
tho very reverse of conciliatory.
Tbe Governors’ Convention
Tho Atlanta Herald says that tho programme
for tho Convention of Governors that meets to
day at Atlanta fs definitely arranged, and a grand
mooting fs expected. Tho banquet and ball
will ooat about $3,000, all of which ha. been
raised. All the mnslin, tarleton, white kid
gloves and shoes havo been bongbt up. Gen.
Breakenridge will attend, a. will FrootorKnoft,
of tho Duluth specoh fame. Tho day after the
adjournment an excursion to Golumbn. rid
West Point will bo first In order. At that city
ono day will bo spent, tho authorities entertain
ing tho excursionists. They will then come
np to Maoon and enjoy the hospitalities of this
city for ono day, when they will go to Bruns
wick and examine her magnificent harbor, and
eat the fat of her sand-heaps. From Brunswick
tho excursion will go to Savannah, where they
will spend two days, of oourse, in enjoyment of
official artillery punch nnd its trimmings. From
Savannah they will go to Augusta, and after
ono day of revelry In that bnrg, will return to
Atlanta, thenoo It 1* probable they will go to
Home—arrangements for this latter excursion
being now under headway.
III. I.onlH Congressional Convention.
Tbo third day's session of tho Congressional
Convention to oonsidor the best means of giving
inoreasod transportation facilities to the pro
ducers In the Mississippi Valley, was held at SL
Louis on Thursday. Among other bnsiness
transacted tho following resolutions were of
fered:
dissolved. That we regard the completion of
the James river and Kanawha canal, the cher
ished scheme of its author, George Washing
ton, connecting, as it will, ths waters of the
Atlantio with the great Mississippi Valley, as
worthy of tbo prompt and profound considera
tion of tho Stato of Virginia in surrendering
her interests, $ 12,000,000, in this improvemeni,
to the people of the wbole country, to insure
them cheap rates of transportation by water
line to tbe Atlantio coast.
Resolved, We recommend to Congress the
construction of the Atlantio and Great Western
canal, believing it to be an enterprise of na
tional interest, and which, when completed,
will be of a value commensurate with ita cost.
Gov. Walker, of Virginia, then made a brief
speech, in which ho nrgod tho necessity of cheap
transportation, advocated the improvement of
tho present water rontas, tho construction of
canals, and especially the James Bivor and
Kanawha Canal, tho bnilding of which he
ahowed was entirely feasible and would con
tribute largely to effect the object so universally
desired, cheap transit to tho seaboard. After
which the convention adjourned.
The work dons by this convention will bring
forth fruit in the next Congress and wo look for
groat good to flow from the meeting.
Extobtiox ni VrrxxA-—If reports are to be
credited, the Vienna exhibition has not so far
proved sneooasfuk Tha Viennese were in too
much of a hurry to empty the pockets of
strangers, and the reports of their exorbitant
chargee spread far and wide. The bills of fare
at the hotels have been increasing from day to
day, a dollar and a half being the latest charge
for a tolerable breakfast, and twenty cents for
getting boots blacked. Americana will be in
terested in tbe announcement that the proprie
tor of a hotel built expressly for transatlantic
visitors, openly vows bia ictectioa to get all
hia money back daring the season of the exhi
bition. Extortion seems to bo the order of the
day is Vienna, and after all it may not hive

Fatal Atouat in Wilkes Cocstt. — The
Washington Gazette, of Friday, Bays:
Oa Monday morning last a difficulty occurred
on tbo plantation of Mr. James Sntton, ten miles
from this plsce, between Mr. Kit Bryant, an old
man of 70 years, assisted by two grown sons,
nnd young Sutton (Jim), in which Sutton in
flicted two severe, but wo thick not fatal wound*
on ods of tbe sous with a pistol, and with tbo
same pistol shot dead tho old man. We are not
yet in possession of all tho particulars concern
ing this nnbspp; affair, but from wbat we oan
gather, must conclude that young Sutton was
acting on the defensive. Immediately after tho
occurrence Sutton oame in and surrendered to
■he authorities, and was admitted to bail in tho
snm of $1,000, to appear next Saturday, at
which time a commitment trial will be bad.
This tragedy, wo nnderstand, was the result of
a misunderstanding about a negro, or interfer
ence with a negro on tbe plantation of Satton.
The Sparta Times and planter hears good ac
counts of tho condition of ths crops in Hancock

ootton crop will be raised in the oonnty, with

that grain.

FlBIKO TUB NoBTHEBX HeABT WITH POTASH.
Under this very apropos head the Savannah ad
vertiser administers tho following “salty”
dose:
Some Radical scribbler here sends a letter to
the New York Times all abont Potash Fsrrow,
from which we cull this morceau: “Tho news-
papers have in vain done their worst on him
from time to time. Futile attempts have been
made to bribe him from his purpose. Nothing
bnt tbe popular art cf assassination oonld euf-
a.-e in 1.:- f i-,-. 1'Cec he must be assassinated.
Accordingly to-night a dastardly attempt was
mado to assassinate him a few steps from his
boarding home, ns be wag returning from his
supper to hia offioe.” Tho newspapers have
been a little warm on Potty, and have labored
in vain to make a decent’ man of him. But
they have not done their worst on him. Tba
bribery business we know nothing of, but since
Farrow himself admits that the only reason
why be d:d not sell out the Confederacy was
because nobody thought enough of him to pay
him for his treachery, we may be excused for
entertaining a donbt abont it.
As to assassination, that is all bosh. He did
get frightenod here a few nights since, and
yelled out in a style that ahould have carried
him to the police barracks, but there was no
body near him, and be could not show a scratch
on his precious and portly caroass. Ha takes
his hash and costs with a regularity and avidity
that is truly charming, and has his indictments
quashed by Justice Bradley with serene stupid
ity. Armed with an immense bludgeon, he has
gone down to Americas, where ail the Kuklux
editors of tho South are assembled, to look af
ter a prominent colored political friend of his,
wh} h»* been taking some liberties with the
United Slates mails. People like Farrow are
sometimes hanged, they sometimes break into
penitentiaries, bnt nobody ever heard of one of
them being assassinated.

Tbe Facts or tho Mobile Defalcation
New Youk, May 19.—Aimorning journal
speaks of a Mobile correspondent of a leading
banking honse in this city drawing prime ster
ling bills as having proved a defaulter to tbe ex
tent of five hundred thousand dollars. The facts
which lod to such exaggerated statements have
been known for nearly two weeks, and ore that
the firms of Halsey & Co.,New Orleans,Goldth-
waito & Co, Mobile, Halsey & Goldthwaito,
Galveston, have dissolved partnership—W. F.
Halsey aloue being authorized to sign in liqui
dation.
These firms represented tho house of Brown
Bros. A Co. in the cotton markets of ths South.
Tho trouble whioh caused dissolution was, that
sterling bills against cotton shipped to Liver
pool had been purchased, snd upon tbs sale of
the cotton failed to meet tho sums advanced,
and reclamation was made. I! was provod that
majority of the bills wero not responsible, and
that Goldthwaito was jointly interested in the
speculation. . .
Goldthwaito is a relative of the members of
tbe firm of Brown Bros. A Co., and his fall is
more painful to tbe New York principals than
any snm they may lose, which cannot be more
than $100,000.

Ufe-Savliur Stations oa tbe Coast.
Tbe Board to ascertain and report at what
points on the sea and lake coasts the interests
of commeroe and humanity rcqu're tbe eriab-
llthing of life-Baring Biations, have just re
turned here from a personal elimination of the
Southern coasts, and have selected sites for the
establishment of stations between Cape Henry
and Cape Hatteras, as follows: On Cape Henry,
near the light honse; near Dan Neok Mills, on
False Cape; near Jone3 Hill, Cnffrey’s inlet;
Kitty Hawl's beacb, Ntg’s Head, Body Island,
Chicamacomioo, and KinkinisL
The following looations are considered and
recommended by the Commission ss requiring
stations, viz: On Cspe Hatteras, Cape Look
out, and on Smith’s Island at the month of Cape
Fear river—from this point to Cape Carnarveral
tbe coast is not dangerous, wrecks seldom oc
curring and are very rarely disastrous to life or
property. At Cape Carnarveral, Jupiter inlet
and Cspe Florida light houses, with Ufe boats
and Btifficient apparatus, are recommended to
be placed in charge of the light bouse keepers.
The coast of Florida, south of Si. Augustine,
sparsely settled, and it appears to be imprac
ticable to employ crews there on the plan adopt
ed for the northern and eastern coasts. It is al-
found impracticable to plaee stations for tbe
protection of the Florida reefs from Cape Flor
ida to tbe Tortugas. Although wrecks are fro-
quent along these dangerous reefs, the loss of
life has never been great. The light houses
along the great reef should be provided with
able, self-righting and self-bailing life-boats.
On the Gulf coast, from Key WeBt around to
the Bio Grande, life-saving stations are not
deemed ceoeasary. A station was formerly
situated in GalTeston, bnt, as far as can be as
certained, was never used, and daring the war
both house and apparatus were destroyed. A
station there is not considered necessary,

Braining a Murderer of Six Hen and
Two Women.
Correspondence of the World ]
Lake Citt, Fla., May C.—Some weeks ago
man named Jim McDonnell was murdered at
Mclwen’s Ferry, oa the Sowanoe river, by a no-
torion) cnllaw and desperado known as Ed,
Lawson. Hearing of the murder of his brother,
William started out as an avenger. Accompa
nied by n man named Peter Hagans and a
ferocious dog, he made his way to Mclwen’s
Ferry, near which the outlaw Lawson lived, and
after some little reoonnoiteriug came upon the
object of his search near the river. Liwson,
divining doubtless the object of the men, en
deavored to escape to a neighboring hammock.
Bat McDonnell had provided against such a
contingency, and tha dog was slipped from his
leash and set npon his hnman prey. There wa3
short, hopeless race—a desperate straggle—
and the murderer Lawson was at the mercy of
the murderer McDonnell. Tho fierce dog bed
set his fangs in the man’s shoulder and held
him firmly to tbe earth until the pursuera came
np. There was but a slight display of etiquette
when the two murderers met. McDonnell tcld
Lawson that he had oome to avenge the death
of his brother, and allowed his prisoner fifteen
minutes to prepare for his doom. The wretched
culprit devoted the few moments of his lifo to a
confession horrible in the extreme. He not only
admitted that be had murdered the brother of
McDonnell for hia money, but confessed that
he had also murdered five other men and two
women for the purpose of obtaining their
money, and added that these murders had only
netted him $25 all told. When Liwson was
through with his confession, McDonnell placed
tbe mezz!" of hi) gun to the murderer’s head
and scattered his brains broadcast oTer the
ground.
The flanging of Nixon.
New Yoke, May 16.—Michael Nixon, who
shot Charles A. Pilfer in the streets a few
months ago, was hanged in the Tombs this
morning. Nixon, after taking a farewell of his
family last evening ate a hearty sapper and re
marked : “This is my last night on earth, and
I have dene what I never did before, take two
cups of coffee.” He then prayed with Father
DuranqueL At 12 o’clock he went to sleep and
was awakened at five, and Boon afterwards as
sisted at a mas3 offered for his special benefit
by Father DuranqueL The only words he
spoke after, were “My Savior was crucified;
this is nothing.” At nine Nixon left his cell
and walked firmly to the scaffold, Fathers Da-
racquet and McKenna oa either side. He oar-
ried a large cracifix which he repeatedly kissed
fervently. On arriving at the scaffold he knelt
between tbe clergymen and repeated the Lord’s
Prayer and the creed of the Catholic Church.
The rope was then adjusted, and without delay
Nixon wes launched into eternity. He died ap
parently easy.
The elimination made by the doctors show
ed that the neck had not been broken, and that
death bad resulted from strangulation. One of
ihe physicians stated that the sufferings of the
unfortunate man must have been extreme.
Owing to the disgraceful scenes at the hang
ing of Foster, Gov. Dix suggested thst the law
could be vindicated in the case of Nixon with
out gratifying the morbid corioeity of tbe com
munity. Notwithstanding thie suggestion the
Tombs prison was crowded with holders of tick-
of admission to the execution, issued from
the sheriff's offioe.
A. Host iDjnrlons Report.
It is intimated in the Springfield BepubiicaD,
say3 the New York Sun, that Secretary Robe
son is officiating as the head centre of a Jer
sey syndicate organized to procure the promo
tion of Judge Bradley of the Supreme Court to
the vacancy caused by the death of Chief Jus
tice Chase.
Judge Bradley's career S3 a member of the
court hS3 been unfortunate. It is universally
believed, and has never been disputed, that he
was appointed to the bench for the express
purpose of reversing the previous decision of
the court against the validity of the legal-tender
act in its application to contracts existing be.
tore its passage. In other words, Judge Brad
ley went into the court upon an agreement or
understanding respecting his decision npon s
question not yet argued before him, and conse
quently not yet folly understood by him. This
is the attitude in which he stands before tho
oonntry, and it is justly regarded as most dis
creditable to tbe administration by which he
was appointed, and, to aay the least, exceedingly
unfortunate for Judge Bradley himself.
But in ail this, nnd in everything that honor
able men and independent journals have ever
said npon ibe subject, tbare is nothing so inju
rious to Judge Bradley as tbe assertion 1*9
Seoor Robeson—a msn covered ell over with
the shame of offioial corruption—a man who took
$93 000 out of the Treasury in violation of a
direct statutory prohibition—a man deep in effi
cial jobs of every kind—Is officiating as bead
centre of a syndicate organized to secure his
promotion. For his own sake Judge Bradley
should make baste to deny thi3 report and re
pudiate so disgraceful a connection.
The Chief Justice —The New York Tribune
says it Is understood that the vaoant chair of
Chief Justioe of the Supreme Conrt is at the
disposition of the Hon. Itoscoe Cockling. But
tbe Senator, influenced by the advioe of friends,
hesitates abont accepting a position which,
exalted as it i9, has tho disadvantage of being
generally regarded as a finality. His acceptance
of this position new would seem to many of
hia friends an injudicious sacrifice of more
couspicoons chances three years hence.
