IS THE RBSTOKATTON POLICY A
FAILURE*
"While the New York Herald, since Presis
dent Johnson’s plan for restoring the South,
ern States has been promulgated, has been
oscillating between opposing and endorsing
it. it has at last come around to the right side
and—judging from the Herald's course—l he
popular oue, and pronounces the policy not
an experiment, but a successful plan. The
vascillating organ of the popular side has
been in some quandary to find out bow it
should proceed, doubting which the people
would take to, and has alternately embraced
and repudiated it, now advocating negro suf.
trage, then proposing to leave it to the only
proper tribunal—the States ; now prescribing
for the Southern States a long probation un
der a strict military rule, and again proposing
to take them back as speedily as the plan of
the President can do so.
*ln drifting about, however, it has found a
channel, and begins to applaud the line of
policy that is certainly working wonders to
ward restoration, and is disposed to be very
magnanimous toward the Southern people
and charitable to a very considerable extent.
We are glad to observe this, not from any in
fluence which we think the Herald carries
with it; but it is one of those straws which
is an inevitale indication of the wy the polit
ical winds are likely to blow. We think the
Northern people are likely to become con
vinced that the policy of the Administration
is the only really wise one that could have
been adopted. We do not think that there is
any considerable number of the Northern
people who.distrust the people in the South ;
ou the contrary, they believe that we are as
anxious to have civil law restored as they,
and that our cosoperation with the policy
now at work among us is not feigned, but
adopted cordially as the only one that can
bring us back into the exercise of the rights
and the protection of the laws that we have
under the Constitution as it now exists.
But while this is the sentiment toward us as
felt by the majority ot people at the North,
there is still an eh ment whose motto is “mle
or ruin,” that is clamoring against the work
of restoration as it is now progressing, slander*
iug the Southern people to add force to their
position and are willing to do anything, aceu
milate any amount of debt upon the shoulders
of the country, rather than have the South
come back without a probation to test the sin*
c city of their penitence. They are casting
every possible impediment in the way of the
President, and if it were in their power they
would thwart his scheme intirelly. But they
have mistaken their man. They bad not calcu
lated the iron nei ves of him who stands at the
helm of affaire. President Johnson is not the
inau to experiment in a matter of such vital
importance to the whole American people, but
with a wise and statesmanly forsight be has
seen what would be the proper course for him
to pursue in order to iffdCt his ends, and the
enunciation of a plan, with him, is equivalent
to announcing that it will be carried out.—
Accustom, d to thinking for himself, be is not
tne man to retrograde when he has once taken
a stand. Popular opinion with him is of the
least importance so long as he i* —»»
the rectitude of bts purpose. He has always
been a leader among the people and not one
V> be led by them. Lienee all the obstrepera*
tioas of the radicals will fall still-born their
opposition to President Johnson will prcve
futile, as the temper and disposition of the
Southern people become known, and the great
bugbears that they are raising to frighten Cuu
servalive men from their position wdl prove a
chimera that had its origin in the fertile fancy
of ambitious men.
Toe Haidd concludes its article on this sub
j-ct with the following sensible remaik J .
“Tneir whole idea” tp aking of the radicals
is (o carry out their factious aud horrible bate
against the South, aud to keep down all ex
pression of the Southern people by a military
occupation that must run into despotism. How
can we pay the debt we already have How
can the country stand the continuance of the
disorganized condition ot Southern society and
Southern labor ? Can we afford to keep up an
army and carry on a social war, to ruin the
country, for the gratification of these political
thugs 1 The country is in danger from these
m-m, and thep must be put down by the peo
ple. It is a simple issue. The government fa
vors tne acts of reconstruction that are nee
e.-s try, and the radicals oppose it on all such
points. The people must rally io support of
the government and the country against these
eaem.es as they did against those that threat
ened four years ago. Let the merchants of
N--w York have a meeting for the open ix
pression of their opinions ou this topic. Let
the voice of the metropolis be beam in sup*
port of the government and striking down sac
tion.”
The St. Louis Republican of the 2d says:
“1 ne thirteenth annual meeting of the General
Association of Missouri Baptists was held in
B.onville on the 19;h aud 21it ult. About
fl ty members were present, and agreed to de
cline taking the oath required of ministers and
teachers by the new constitution. The reasons
f>r this action are set forth in a lengthy docu
ment, which has been sent to us for publica
tion. Some es these reasons are, i i brief, Ist,
That the oath is in conflict with the cousti.u
tion of the United States, as interfering with
the freedom of worsboppiog God, as ex pout
ficin in tts operations, and as making evory
minister who refuses to take it become a wit
ness agiinst himself. 2d, The oath is unjust
and unequal in its operations. 31, It proposes
to punish ministers for what is really no crime
against any humin law. 4-h, To take the oath
is to acknowledge an authority in the State
that dies not belong to it, and that human au
thority is above divine.”
W%_The Springfield Republican quite
naively states that the counterfeit twenty-five
cent fractional currency in circulation may
be distinguished from the genuine by the su
periority of its execution.

SOWTHKIt.N VEILING.
A correspondent of the New York Evening
Post writes from Aiken, S 0., that “ it is an
extremely pleasant duty to mention the good
feelitgs of the citizei.s towards the United
States soldiers. Reserved seats iu church,
invitations to dinners, to parties,to rides; re
cognition by the many young ladies who
sometimes promenade in the streets ; salutes
by the gentlemen, and a welcome into cheer
ful homes, rewards the soldier for any inter
est he takes in the weltare of the community.
Ho feels that ho is iu the United States, that
he is among friends, and be exerts himself in
turn to benefit those friends. The discussion
of politics is eschewed by all—it is not. proper
to say both oarties here, for there is hardly
more than one. Occasionally, it may be, a
lady says of the war, “ it was all. wrong from
the beginning,” as a quietus to some preju
diced talker, and the convei sulions turns on
travel or the resources of tho country.
There is no truckling in all this ; if the
spirit which animates society here were mis
taken by the troops as that of servility, lips
and doors Would be nstautly closed. “Tne
war has ended; we have ‘buried the hatchet,’
and our motto now is, “ United we stand, di
vided we fall.” “The Union is to-day a
a greater power than it ever was before ; his
tory does not record so perfect a peace within
three months after such a war as we hare
had ; the Union soldiers deserve to be well
treated, and I salute them every time I meet
them." This is the language of a gentleman
who lost largely by the war, who lived in a
forty-thousand dollar house, magnificently
furnished, nutil it was burnt at the evacua
tion of Charleston, and now occupies a small
board bonse of one story.
ORGANIZING! THE HOUSE.
Some time ago we republished a letter
written by Mr. Wendell Phillips, says the
Nashville Union, in which be expressed alarm
lest the Clerk of the House of Representatives,
Mr. McPherson, might admit memners from
re-organized Southern Stales applying lor ad
mission. It appears that the law governing
the Clerk is a- follows:
The Clerk shall make a roll, and place
thereon the names of a 1 persons, and of such
persons only, whose credentia's show that they
were regularly elected, in accordance with the
laws of their States respective y, or the laws of
the United States. [Stat, at Large, Vol. XII
p. 804.
It is stated that Mr. McPherson has given
his opinion on this as follows :
“Ist. That no‘law of the United States
authorizes the election of representatives in
in any of the insurrectionary States.
“ 2d. That no ‘law of any of the St ites’
authorizes an election held at the call of a
‘ Provisional Governor,” and from which
large numbers of legally recognized voters
(the unsworn rebels) are excluded.
In the first place, Mr. McPbetson assumes
wha' is not true. None of the States have
been out of the Union. Congress appointed
representatives amongst all of them, under
the census of 1860, whilst the Southern
States were in rebellion—thus recognizing
them as in the Union and entitled to repre
sentation in that body—and no law has been
passed since altering their status in this res
pect.
In the second pl ce, the elections for Con»
gress in the reorganized States will not bs
made at the call of th- Provisional Governors
but by sovereign State Convention.

IK®-Colonel Mellow, an old resident of
Vick-Uurg, while returning recently to thot
city, w s attacked by a band of robbers, who
demmded his money. He fired npon them,
killing one, and then took refuge behind the
nearest tree, and continued to fire his revolver
at th* m until he had fired forty shots, killing
two or three ot them, and .sounding several.—
His clothes were completely riddied, aud he
was slightly wonnd-d in the neck. He finally
made bis escape to Vicksburg.

released upon condition of leaving the country
never to return, or rema’n in prison, and take

made choice of the latter priv iege to s cure
the liberty which would he most agreeable to
their tastes, and hence tbeir detention until
their cases are acted upon.
ISSf The Washington Chronicleof the 90th
ult., says: “ In the evening papers of yester
day the following named persons are stated
to have been pardoned by the President: A.
O. P. Nicholson, Gideon J Pillow, Williams,
Adijnb Scraggs, and 0. F. Lucky, of Tennes

thorized to state that no pardons have been
issued for either of these persons.

THE MASS MEETING IN RICHMOND.
From a correspondence of the New York
Herald we extract the following resolutions
adopted by a mass meeting of the citizens of
Richmond.
Mu. Howison, in a few remarks, nominated
Judge Lyons as chairman, and that gentleman
addressed the meeting in a loyal and dignified
manner. He w’as succeeded by Mr. R T.
Daniel, Commonwealth Attorney, who read
the resolutions, a copy of which I inclose,
and spoke at some length. Mr. W. H. Mc-
Farland, late President of the Farmers’ Bunk,
followed in an altogether unexceptionable
speech. It was dignified, candid and unre
served. Hon. James Lyons, late member of the
Confederate Congress, followed. Mr. Lyons
is an orator of very considerable power, but
some portions of his speech (I send a copy of
all of them) are open to criticism, and the
manner in which be alluded to sectional diff
erences and the negro, were neither in uuison
with the spirit of the meeting nor the purpose
for which it was convened, Jbe resolutions
being carried unanimously.
At the clone of tbe meeting, which passed
off in perfect order, the chairman nominated
the three following gentlemen to convey to
President Johnson a copy of the resolutions,
and an invitation that he would ue pleased to
pay a visit to Richmond : Robert Ridgway,
Charles Palmer and W. H. McFarland.
R. D. F.
THE RESOLUTIONS;
We, the people of the city of Richmond, in
mass meeting assembled to express our opin
ions in the present exigency of public affaiis,
do
Resolve, That sve have witnessed with just
indignation the persistent and wicked efforts
of a portion of the press and people of the
Northern States to brand the people of the
South with perfidy and insincerity in the hon
est attempts they have made, and are making,
to resume their former relations with the Un
ion, by questioning tbeir fidelity and truth in
tbe oa:bs of allegiance which they have taken,
and by vague and unsupported charges, that
they desire, if they do not contemplate,
further resistance to its authority. Such im
putations are not only false, but mischievous,
being calculated to retard, if they be not de
signed to defeat, that perfect and constitu
tional restoration of the Union which tbe war
was professedly waged against tbe seceding
Stales to effect, and which good men and
patriots in all sections of tbe country earn
estly desire to accomplish. And it being of
tbe last importance that tbe minds of tbe
whole people be disabused of these errors,
and particularly that tbe authorities at Wash
ington be truly informed of the temper, and
disposition of the South.rn people, we do
solemnly pronounce these and all other im
putations upon them of a kindred character,
no matter from what source they come, to be
utterly ungrounded and false.
Resolved, That the genet al temper and dispo
sition ot tbe Southern people, including our
own, are to accept and acquiesce in the results
of the late sanguinary struggle, and to resume
tbe duties of citizenship in tne Union. That the
men of character and ability who have hitherto
.Lliuenced public sentiment neither advise nor
intend anything different Irom the di-charge of
their duties as citiz-ms of the United States, and
are setting an example of full aud ready sub
mission to the authority of its governmert, and
counsel a full recognition ot the facts of the
actual situation, iuclud ng the accepted and ir
reversible abolition ot slavery.
Resolved, That we, the people of Richmond,
fully and tin r Highly comprehending akd ac
cepts g tbe results ot that struggle in all tbeir
force and eigmticence, and as oue of tbe most
important, the abolition of slavery, already
effected by tne restored constitution of the State
under which we live and which we are sworn to
support, do pledge ourselves to support the
reconstruction policy ot tbe President, which
purposes a restor-d equality of rights and pri
vileges to all tbe States, including the power in
each to regulate the right ot suffrage for itself,,
as distinguished from the reckless and perni
cious theories of the so called radical party,
which propt se to the Soutberu States the alter
native of negro suffrage or an indefinite exelu
eion Irom the benefits of a common and equal
Union ; and that we will support the national
authority and the supreme rule of law and order
everywhere as tbe only sure guarantee lor tbe
re establishment of the rights aud privileges of
our own aud of tbe other .Southern States, under
the- concrttrtrtion, tn tho Union.
Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to
our fellow-citizens throughout tbe State to bold
meetings as soon as practicable in tbeir respec
tive counties and towns, and adopt suitable
resolutions expressive (as we do not doubt they
will be) of their entire sympathy in tbe motives,
purposes and objects herein declared ; that no
cloud of doubt, no shadow of suspicion may
rest on the integrity, honor and good faith of
tbeir expressed desire and honest attempts to
resume the duties and allegiance to tbe United
States.
Resolved, That it is no less a pleasure than a
duty on our part to give public expression to
tbe esteem and respect which we feel for tbe
present Chief Magistrate of our State, whose
conciliatory bearing, frank and manly manners,
and firm and well considered statesmanship,
1 ave enabled him to grapple successfully with
tbe unusual difficulties ot bis position. With
the opportunity to see us face ta lace as we ar *,
he has the wisdom to appreciate tbe true char
acter ot our people. He has thrown b mself
without reserve on tbeir candor, truthfulness
and conscientiousness, and thry have met, and
will continue to meet, him in a like spirit of
cordial confidence.
The Oldest Printer in the South.— Some
time since we copied tbe following paragraph
from one of our exchange papers :
“The oldest printer in the South is said by
the Crockett (Texas) Quid Nuno, to be now
residing near that, place. His name is W. V.
Tunstall, and be will soon be eighty years old.
Over fl ty five years ego be established tbe
Tennessee G *znte, at Nashville.”
The Lebanon (Tenn.,) R gister says this
statement is incorrect, adds : “The oldest prin
ter in the South is Mr, W. L. Barry, who is
now engaged as a compositor iu this office, Mr.
Ba. ry commenced the business in 1798, and
has been mgrged ai it ever since—sixty-seven
years I He informs us that tbe Mr. Tunstall
alluded to above, was an apprentice in the
same printing office in which he (Mr. B.) was a
‘jour.’ Mr. Barry is now in his eighty-sixth
yt ar.”
Tbe Cincinnati Commercial, and a morning
paper ot this city, makes the het diess blunder
ot supposing that the vote of tbe Misstsippi
convention, just previous to its adjournment,
rejecting a resolution to submit tbe amended
constitution to the people for tbeir ratification,
referred to the proposed amendment to the fed
eral Co istifution abolishing slavery. By tbe
terms of the joint resolution of Congress, It is
only the stale legislatures that can ratify that.
Wnat tbe Mississippi convention decided was,
that the amendments it bud made to tbe old
Mississippi constitution should be in force with
out previous submission to tbe people. As the
main amendment—that abolishing slavery
was not a matter of choice, submission would
have been idle, and time consumed in a futile
formality would only have retarded the work
of reconstruction, which it is desirable, on all
accounts, to expedite.— A. Y. World.
The subjoined conversation between Count
de B smark and an Austrian diplomatist is said
recently to have taken p'ace:lt the annoyance
tons continues,” said the former, “1 shall be
ready to send 10,01)0 more men across the Elbe
and I then will soon overcome all resistance.”
‘•lt you were to act so,” replied the other, ‘Gen
K ilik would not lemaiu inactive with his brig
ade on the road to Kiel ; be would send one of
his boots there, and I t>m sure it would be re
spected.” At that moment, tbe King of Prue
sir arrived. “What is the matter ?” he asked;
“you appear both excited?” The Prussian
minister rem lined silent, but the Austrian un
dertook to reply. “Sire,” be said, “M. de Bls
m irk is so goo i as to listen to my remarks as
to the excellence of the soldiers’ shoes in our
army.” Pat •; Letter.

Our Rivals in Cotton Raising.-It >s an in
teresting question whether the United State, in
resuming the culture aud export of cotton, is
likely to find, in the foreign markets, d mgerous
Competitions in those countries whefe the
growt i of the st iple has been so actively stimu -
lated during the past lour vea s. The English,
when shut out irom our southern ports, went
busily to work to find or to raist cotton in all
the countries of the world that were adapted to
its production. The Cotton Supply Associaliou
distributed seed wherever there was a prospect
of its growing, and furnished, on easy terms,
steam plows, steam machinery, aud improved
agricultural implem ■» t*. But tbe last report of
the result of these o; era ions is not encouraging
Much is expected, but little has been realiz ’d,
from Turkey. Egypt gives promising returns ;
but there is trouble from tbe decrease in the
production ot grain. There were hopes of in
creasing returns, in future years, from the Arab
districts of Syria, the regions bord-*ri g on tbe
Persian Gulf, tbe southern parts of Asia Minor
and adjacent regions; and there were both
hopes and prospects iu Greece, Italy. Cen ral
and Sou'h America, the West Indies. Australia,
Natal and various parts of Africa. Dis ppoint
ment came from India, for allhotign the supply
bad not dim nisbed, it bad not increased ; never
theless, it was. b-yond all things, expedient for
British interest to fester the cotton trade of
India.
It will thus be seen that, thouvh a very re
spectable stock of cotton has been obtained
during the last three or four years from other
Countries than our own. tbe-e aie for the future,
more hopes than as-uraners. It must he re
membered, too, that the cottou has been gotten
from these various countries with the greatest
difficulty, and that tbe chief power which has
drawn it out has been tbe enormous price that
it Comm inded.
Were the United States to enter tbe markets
of Europe ou anything like the old terms, there
would be no competitor that could make even a
show of standing against it. And should white
lebor and machinery, aided by the black labor,
enter in the proper force and style upon cotton
cultivation, we should have even better condi
tions than formerly, and sh.l! control the cotton
markets ot Europe.— New York Times.
The Comet.—The anticipated early re-ap
pearance of Biela’s Uomet which is now on
its way to its perihelion is attracting the at
tention of Astronomers. A correspondent of
the Boston Courier says :
It is not yet arrived sufficiently near the
earth to be discerned with tbe telescope ; its
present distance from tbe earth being about
one hundred and ten millions of miles, and
its position near the left arm of Andromeda.
It is slowly moving into the adjoining con
stellation, Pegasus, and on the first day of
November next it will be close to the bright
[Alpha Pagasi] Markab, one of the four bright
stars forming the well known square of Pega
sus. It then pursues a southerly course,
crossing the celestial equatot about the mid
dle of December. (Singularly enough, it then
crosses the old path it followed in 1846, and
near a point where it was then observed to
separate into two comets. It will continue
to approach the earth till tbe end of February
when its distance from tbe earth will be on
ly one-sixth of its present distance. At that
time it will have advanced far into the south
ern heavens, and disappear from view here
and in Higher latitude.
The purchase yesterday, ot s x thousand bar
rels of beet, in this market, for shipment to
Great Britain, admonishes us that the dreadful
cattle direase, which is now raging in Europe,
will have an important influence upon our
markets ‘.or cured meats, if we shall be so lucky
as to escape tbe disease itself. A large ad
vance in butter and cheese may be expected.
Fortunately, we have a latge stock ot salted
beef in this market; it was packed last fall and
winter in anticipation of a demand from tbe
army, which having failed, prices have ruled
al! summer lower than the average of peace
times, especially ter tbe finer qualities, lbs,
in a measure, accounts for tbe scarcity and
high price ol beef calttle for some months i a t.
We can, therefore, well spare John Bull s m*
beef, but we beg of him to keep his present
style of roast beet to himself.-A. Y. World.
President Johnson and Maximiluan. —Tne
Herald publishes a long story to tbe eff-ct that
Sena tor Degollado. a Mexican gentleman well
known in this country, had airived in. Washin
gton on a diplomatic mission Irom the imperial
government of Mexico.
He is said to have brought with him an an .
tograph letter from the Emperor Maxtmillian,
congratulating Mr. Jonnson on his succession
to the Presidential chair, a-td expressing prop
er sentiments of condolence in regard to the
death ol Mr. Lincoln.
This letter was uot received, however ; tbe
reply to D'gollado being that the President
knew nu such person as tbe Emperor of Mexi
co.
A California sculptor, named Mezzara, has
