The Richmond Enquirer says there was. considerable difficulty in #u<ling a bible in Washington last week to swear in the new Terrftorial Legisla ture, and suggests that as a good field for Missionaries without venturing on the dangerous grouud of tho “Heath en Chinee.” The Joint Committee to visit the South and investigate Ku-Klux out rages, met on yesterday to decide on a plan of action. It is said a majori ty of the Committee are in favor of postponing the visit until autumn, and we suppose it will bo done, as the election is too far off to get up much excitement now. Per several weeks past we have not given much foreign nows iu conse quence of the conflicting dispatches re ceived, the reading of which but serv ed to confuse the miml without com municating reliable intelligence. But, as the strugglo seems to be waning— the cause of the Communists being on the decline, we publish elsowliero for eign statements that confirm the pre viously reported successes of tho Gov ernment troops. At tho session of the Southern Bap tist Convention just closed at St. Lou is, alo., the committee on the condi tion of the colored people reported as follows: From all information received we think the colored joeople are manifest ing a greater desire for instruction from the whites, and accept, more kindly tho efforts made by the Domes- Board for their religious culture. They need all the assistance that can be of fered them, especially iu organizing churches, instructing ministers, and conducting Sunday-schools. The following is, wo think, good doctrine, even if it did emanato in Bos ton, and we daro say that if tho or ganization could be made a National one, enough good metal could be worked in to despoil any plan concoct ed for gratifying personal ambition by Messrs. Butler & Cos : The convention of tho Grand Army of tho Republic iret at Boston Wednes day. Ono hundred and fifty delegates wore present from all the Northern States, and Qon. Logan, tho president, made a speech claiming that tho or ganization was not instituted to serve any piolitical party. In response to a message from the National Peace Leage at Now York, congratulating the grand army of veterans on relief from strife, and asking their influence to prevent future war, the Convention replied that the congratulations wero reciprocated, and that “tho Grand Ar my of the Republic are determined to have peace, even if they must fight for it.” The Light Returning. —Tho Rich mond Enquirer is disposod to view the arrival of an English steamship at the port of Norfolk with a large number of emigrant families on board a3 the harbinger of anew era in the history of that Commonwealth, heralding a future of productive wealth so long en joyed by tho mother of States. Sure ly this is a good omen, since it is true that years havo passed 6inco the peo ple of the Old World felt at iiberty to risk their fortunes in our midst, aud wo are reminded that tho extravagant Ku-Klux sensations indulged iu by the Northern press havo not had tho effect to intimidate those good peoplo even if so intended, else they would havo “hove to” farther North. Neith er are we to concludo that the war be tween France and Prussia has induced this tido to begin to flow. No, no ! There is a kindred relation dating back to tho early settling of our coun try, a seeking after wanderers from the original flock, agitating their minds, and to feel embaressed in the undertaking, aside from being debar red tho privilege of a re-union as it wore, is sad to contemplate. May we net hope, then, that every obstacle may be removed, and that not only Virginia but every Southern State may receive their portion in due season, that our waste places may be come familiar with tlio tramp of the industrious, energetic and refined En glishman. For, in the language of the liberal editor of the Enquirer, it was from England we drew eur first, fresh, warm blood ; it is the fountain head of all that is great and noble in our history. V'« .Honey. Our attention has boon called to tho change hills of the Brunswick & Al bany Railroad, which havo recently been put in circulation by Mr. Kim ball. Wo think our people arc in clined to welcome anything in the shape of money, for tho article is so scarce that \t-* havo a desire to got something tlmt will keep us in teed. But let iis see that there is a reasonable certainty that what is offered us n« money is and “will be money in fact and money in law.” Wo are glad to see tliut the Albany Xttrs has confi dence in this paper, and ho states that tho bills will be redeemed by various persons for Mr. Kimball. Ibis looks well, but the people cannot bo satis fied with this kind of assurance. If Mr. Kiiuball has made such arrange ments, it ought to be required that lie c iuso s ich ire sons to state in writ ing that they will stand ready at all times to redoern all such bills as may be put in circulation. We are as sured that Mr. Kimball has the means to make this arrangement, and if our merchants Will require it of him be fore they will take his money, that will do. But tliero is another serious ques tion about this currency. The Code of Georgia, section 4389, says: “Any person or persons, body cor porate or politic, who may hereafter make, issue, circulate, pay or tender in payment (not being an innocent holder thereof) any check, order, draft or bill for tho payment of money or other thing having the form of a hank note and intended to be used and cir culated as money or circulating medi um, except such banking institutions and corporations as are by law author ized to issue notes or bills for circula tion, shall he liable to an indictment as for a misdemeanor, and on convic tion shall be punished as proscribed iu section 4345 of this Code.” The next section authorizes an in dictment on each bill, and gives one half of the fine to the informer, &c. Now, if Mr. Kimball has any au thority by special grant of the Legis lature to issue these bills, he onfjht to 6how it. Wo have made enquiries as to this matter, and cannot got tho information. We are therefore left to regard this currency as illegal. If this is tho case, then the Company is not bound for their redemption, and Mr. Kimball only is bound for their pay - ment. If this is so, then it is a very strong draft on the confidence of our people on his part to expect they will take this paper as money, without strong assurances against losses. Iu the opinion of some of our best law yers, this act makes it penal for any ono to circulate such bills, with a knowledge that they uro issued ille gally. If this is so, thou wo say that our peoplo ought to bo very careful in the matter. We ought to obey tho laws ourselves, and require of all thoso that deal with us that they do tho same. The only safety for life, prop erty and liberty is iu the observance and the administration of tho law. We havo said this much only bo cause we could not do los3 aud dis charge our duty to tho people. We have no desire to injure Mr. Kimball or any of his projects ; our only pur pose is to protect the public against loss iu the future. Ku-Klux An order has been issued from tho War Department containing tho President’s Ku-Klux proclamation. It concludes: “The President directs that when ever occasions shall arise, the regular forces of tho United States, stationed in the vicinity of any locality whro of fences described by the act approved April 20th, 1871 may be committed, shall, in direct accordance with the provisions of said act, be employed by their commanding officers in assisting the authorized civil authorities of tho United States in making arrests of persons accused under tho said act, in preventing the roscue of persons ar rested for such causo, and in breaking up and dispersing bands of masked marauders or of armed organizations against the power and quiet of the lawful pursuits of the citizens in any State. “Whenever troops are employod in tho manner indicated iu this order, tho commanding officer will at the earliest opportunity make a . full re port of its operations to tho proper su perior authority.” The Beecher Family Divided—Mrs. Sherman, wife of General Sherman, Mrs. Dahlgren, Mrs Catharine E. Bee cher and other ladies of prominence, are industriously ongaged through tho proper agoneios, in procuring signa tures to a petition to Congress protest ing against the extension of suffrage to women. In furtherance of their object a monthly paper called tho True Woman is published at Baltimore un der their auspices. BjECTIONXL HEALTnmUESS. The lato census shows some interesting facta in relation to ttto South. By facts and figures submitted it appears that New Orleans and other cities, sup posed to be tho homo of yellow fever, .aro healthier than New Yoak or Bos ton, and have less deaths according to population. It also shows that the deaths among negroes have increased almost ono-hftlf since the war, and that more negroes than whites have died of diseases, although tfio eliiuato is sup posed to be peculiarly adapted to the colored race.
