THE SOUTHERN OPINION. |
Thk New Regime.—lt Is lufflerstood that
the Committee of Managers, which, as a se
cret inquisition, sits daily in the Capitol,
w ith General Butler at the head, has used
its power to coerce the production of the
deposit accounts of various individuals at
one of the banks in this city. Bank books
are said to have been inspected, not in a
court, not in an open committee-room, not
even before the packed star-chamber as a
whole, but privately and alone, at dead ot
night, by this Butler—a man whose very
name is an adjective stronger than we
could employ. How far this prying inves
tigation w r as extended, none can tell, nor
to how'many of the opponents oi Radical
ism the indignity of an inspection of tiieir
private business was offered. Such a prac
tice as this tramples not only on every pri
vate right, but it is in the highest sense
annoying and injurious to the business
portion of the community. Once tolerated
and endured here, the outrage will be ex
tended to other cities, and made the vehi
cle of corrupt or malicious proceeding by
Radicals towards their Conservative rivals
in business, and even towards each other.
This matter involves very serious reflec
tion for our whole community, and it be
hooves them to consider what steps they
shall take to protect themselves against a
practice so monstrous.
How far Is this to extend? By whom
are the spies and menial servants that dog
Senators, private gentlemen, and even
women paid ? Does it come from the Fed
eral Treasury, or from the Grant election
eering fund, or from the booty of New Or
leans? The people want light? They
want to know by what authority all the
despatches, public and private, sent from
this city on Friday last, have been seized
and laid betore this committee. If the
dispatches of Friday' are not sacred, then
tliose of the past month, or twelve months —
nay, all those sent or to be sent in any city
of the Union, are the pleasure and proper
ty of the honorable managers, with the
Srying Butler at their head. And if all
ispatches are to be subject to Butler’s ex
amination, censorship, and approval, then
why not also the mails ? Are letters to be
deemed sacred? While we write we feel
no assurance, that the infamy already
known, this baseness so hostile to the spirit
of our people, has not been added.
It is impossible not to recognize in the
proceedings thus far the footprints of one
whose lule in New Orleans has gained him
a bad reputation wherever men are taught
to abhor what is vile, cruel, aud mean.
Are we to have the practices of one who
was repudiated by all men of genuine
courage revived and made a permanent
feature in the Government of the country ?
Are we to have the espoinage upon ladies,
and dastardly references to them in the
public press, followed up by a fresh Order
No. 49, emanating with the attestation of
the managers, and asserted in “the name of
all the people?” Let us know; for the
time may speedily come when the people,
whose authority is thus forced, and whose
liberties are thus outraged, will apply' a
sure and certain remedy. Is this New Or
leans of 1802, and is General Butler in
command ?— Memphis Avalanche.
Forty Persons Poisoned by Ice Cream
at Helena, A Rif. —The Memphis Ava
lanche learns, by a gentleman directly
from Helena, ol a frightful occurrence,
which had thrown consternation and in
tense excitement over that city. Over
forty persons were poisoned by partaking
of iee cream last Wednesday', and it is
feared a number of them would die. They
were in a critical condition, and the entire
community was greatly agitated.
The particulars that we were able to
gather are briefly as follows: The proprie
tor oi an ice cream saloon, a Frenchman,
made up a large quantity of iee cream, the
first of the season, and it was distributed
gratis, and freely partaken of by his friends.
Shortly afterward, all who tasted the cream
were seized with violent pain, and the most
of them were prostrated, and in a critical
condition when our informant passed the
city. Four of the Frenchman's family
were among those afflicted.
Mr. Coolidge, the telegraph operator,
and his wife, were both down, and the re
covery of the latter was considered doubt
ful.
A bucket full of the ice cream bad been
sent to the Female College, and was freely
partaken of by the young ladies, and they
were all dangerously taken down. Vari
ous others were likewise afflicted.
The doctors had analyzed some of the
cream. They pronounced the poison to be
arsenic. There were no well-defined con
jectures in regard to the sense of the terri
ble affair. Whether it was the work of
some malicious fiend, or one of those terri
ble accidents which decimate and appal a
whole community, are questions which
future investigations may answer; but in
the meantime the catastrophe remains un
explained.
A Hasty Declension. —Mr. N. B. Judd,
the Radical Representative in Congress,
lrom the Cnlcago district, lias made an ass
of himself. On the ISth instant he sent
from Chicago the following dispatch to Hie
President:
“A. Johnson, President of the United
States: After leaving Washington, Satur
day evening, I saw in a newspaper my
name announced as having been appointed
a visitor to West Point. Assuming the
truth of that statement. I decline that or
any other appointment within your gift.
“N. B. Judd.”
On the 19th instant, the President replied
as follows:
“Hon. N. B. Judd, Chicago: The appoint
ment of visitor to West Point, which you
decline in your telegram of the 18th, lias
not been conferred upon you.
“Andrew Johnson.”
If Mr. Judd was not impervious to such
an exposure, it would silence him. It
should cover him ail over with in
famy. He will, perhaps, be more circum
spect hereafter in his malignant attempts
to wound a political opponent.
The Denouncers Defeated at Chicago.
The most strenuous efforts were made by
the conspirators’ faction to get the Chicago
Convention to denounce those Republi
can Senators who refused to perjure them
selves at the bidding of the impeachers,
but the “knowing ones” saw that it woidd
not do, and the resolutions which had
been prepared for this purpose were re
jected from their platform. This is prac
tically an endorsement of the act of the
seven denounced Senators, for it shows
that those who managed the affairs of the
convention dared not Impute improper
motives to the most Tespected men in their
party. The silence of the Radical conven
tion is as forcible a rebuke of the slander
ers as any one it could utter. Will Ben.

tions ?— Philadelphia News.

San Francisco, May B,IBCB.
The Steamship New York, from China
and Japan, is now entering the harbor.—
She took the place of the Great Republic,
of the regulr mail line. The latter steamer
on March 23, when in latitude 30, north,
longitude 180 east, broke her starboard
shaft, and after reaching Yokohama under
sail and with one wheel, remained there
for repairs.
The steamer New York left llong Kong
April 18, and Yokohama April 28.
Kenzabora, the officer in command of
Prince Bezon’s troops, who ordered the
firing on thh foreigners at Hiogo, Japan,
was executed by order of the Mikado in
the presence of one foreigner from each
European legation, together with an equal
number of Japanese officials. The scene
was solemn and impressive. The con
demned being of high rank, was permitted
to commit ltari kari. Before his death, he
acknowledged the offense, admitted that
iiis trial was fair, and his sentence just, and
he advised the Japanese to hereafter treat
foreigners with consideration.
Tlie foreign representatives requested
the government not to confiscate his estate
according to the Japanese law, but permit
it to descend to his family. The request
was granted. Next day the Ministers re
ceived letters of apology from the Mikado
Government.
On March oth the Ministers, with eacli
of their vessels, went to Osaka, intending
to ro-oocupy their former legations. They
found the British legations destroyed by
fire, and the French legations were torn to
pieces. The American and other legations
were untouched. On March Bth the
French sailors, survey off Osaka, were at
tacked by Prince Tosa's men. Eleven
Frenchmen were killed and five wounded,
and the bodies were buried at Ilioga. Two
days subsequently all the Ministered em
barked on board of their respective vessels.
The French demanded the execution of the
men cohcerned in the murder, with an
apology from Tosa aud the Mikado’s Gov
ernment; also a money indemnity of $150.-
000; which demand was complied with.
On March 12th the American Minister
left for Yokohama, taking with him the
Italian and Prussian Ministers aud their
suites, in the United States steamer Moil-,
ocac.y, with the intention of defending
foreign interests, the Mikado having in
formed them that large bodies of troops
were marching on Jeddo, with probable
intention of fighting. On the 18th of
March, the American Minister went to
Jeddo remaining one week, conferring
with tlie Tycoon’s officers, and then re
turned to Yokohama. He was the last and
only Minister at Jeddo. Tlie Mikado’s
troops were marching toward Jeddo, and
straggled largely into Yokohama, appar
ently uncontrolled. Disturbances oc
curred, and the people became alarmed.
The Ministered conferred with theGovcrn
m lit authorities of Yokohama and de
cided to post the American, Prussian,
French and British soldiers and marines at
the entrances of the settlement and pro
hibit the entrance of armed Japanese from
without. This insured tranquility. The
French, British, and Dutch Ministers re
mained at Hioga. After the settlement of
the French indemnity they were invited to
an audience with the Mikado at K ioho, and
subsequently returned to Yokohama.
On April 1. while passing through tlie
Straits of Kioka, Sir Harry Parks, the
British Minister, was fired on by two fan
atic priests, who wounded eleven men of
liis escort and five horses. The Minister
and live horses escaped unhurt. One priest
was killed and another captured and exe
cuted by btots-Bashi. The Tycoon coun
sels peace to tlie Japanese nation, and of
fers to submit to the will of the Mikado for
the good of Japan, and may accept the
highest offee under him when the new gov
ernment is established. Tlie goverment of
Yokohama it is expected will shortly pass
quietly into the Mikado’s hands, whose
commission is hourly expected to arrive.
Ilis envoy to the Tycoon arrived at Jed
do with troops on the 27th of April.
Tlie Mikado has notified tlie Ministers
that he will faithfully fulfill all existing
treaties and engagements contracted by tlie
Tycoon’s government.
All tlie foreign Ministers were at Yoko
hama April 2S, and a large number of war
vessels of all nationalities.
Tlie Ram Stonewall arrived sately in
twenty-nine days from Honolulu. Both of
tlie hostile branches of tlie Japaneses Gov
ernment wanted her. Each, however, pre
ferred the American Minister should retain
her under the American flag for the pres
ent, which lie has done, awaiting instruc
tions from Washington whom to deliver to.
All tlie foreigners approve of his action,
and tlie Japanese acquiesce in it.
A Cool One. —How a Notorious Horse
Thief Received his Sentence. —Isaac Morris,
alias Lee, alias Harris, alias John Haile,
was found guilty of horse stealing yester
day in tlie Criminal Court, and his term in
tlie penitentiary fixed by the jury at fifteen
years. When the verdict of the jury was
returned, Morris manifested a stolid indif
ference, and remarked that it was a good
thing, lie would not remain in the peniten
tiary more than six weeks. He stated tiiat
be had seventeen hundred dollars, which
had been stolen from the Russelville Rank,
but that no one would ever know by what
means lie bad obtained it.
He also interrogated Attorney General
Tuthill as to whether a convict could learn
any trade he desired; if so, he would pre
fer to learn that of locksmith, by which lie
might, after thorough “study,” be enabled
to pick locks when he came out of the pen
itentiary, and thus raise the wind.
Morris put on more “highfalut'n” airs
during his trial than has been known in our
Criminal Court for many a day. He leaned
back in an arm chair with pretentious digni
ty, was well pleased at any notice paid him
by persons in the court room, and appeared
rejoiced at a situation which, he thought,
made him so prominent in the eye of the
public. lie held a Havana lightly between
iiis gloved fingers, occasionally ejected a
volume of curling smoke, and watched it
as it disappeared in air with a dogged care
lessness that would defy description- He
was attired in a neatly cut cloth suit, white
shirt, silk cravat and kid gloves. He en
deavored to make himself generally agree
able, and talked almost incessantly. This
convict is certainly a remarkable specimen
of a hard hearted, unfeeling reprobate, tho
roughly inured to crime. lie has light com
plexion, dark liair, blue eyes,and a long, an
gular face, wilh a peculiar expression
of quickness, talks rapidly, and is rather
flippant in conversation. — Nashville Ban

The Neiv York Tribune says that
in the Democratic States like New York,
tlie negro is simply a brute without polit
ical rights, unless he owns $250 worth of
property. It might have added that in
such Radical States as Michigan and Ohio
even $250 does not elevate him above a
brute so as to give him any political priv
ileges.

WEEKLY SOUTHERN OPINION.
Advice to Young; INen.
From the Savannau Advertiser.l
It having been reported for some time
past that Ilou. Alexander 11. Stephens had
been advising the young men of the South
to leave tlie country anil seek their fortunes
elsewhere, a young gentleman of this city,
who is intimately acquainted with this
distinguished statesman, wrote to him in
quiring as to the truth of these rumors, and
yesterday received a long letter from him,
lrom which we have been permitted to
make the following extract;
“Allow me then, briefly, at this late day
to say in reply to your inquiries that I
would not advise tlie young men of this
country to leave it. Bad as tilings are in
it, and bad as tlie prospect of a wise state
of things ahead, yet 1 see or know of
of no country where the future prospects
of a young man are any better than here.
As I have said before, I repeat, that while
others may choose to take tlie life-boats,
and make tiieir escape from our terrible
wreck, yet as for myself I see no hope in
them, and am resolved to remain and, if
need be, go down with tlie ship.
“Yours truly,
Alex. 11. Stephens.”
This is certainly, good, sound, sensible
advice, and coming from so high a source
should have great weight with those who
are disposed to emigrate.
We take tli’s occasion to 1 eiteraton.ur form
erly expressed opinion that our[young men
would do much better to remain at home
and devote their energies toward the recu
peration of the material interests ot their
own country Other places may oiler in
ducements—Brazil and Honduras have
many warm and perhaps interested ad
vocates—but we still think that the energy
and industry required for success in those
countries, if exercised here at home would
suffice to render a man independent in his
native land. To be sure, the prospect
looks gloomy at present, but times will
change, and we trust ere long to see the
South again prosperous and happy. There
is no use sitting down and mourning over
the losses and disasters of tlie past; the
future is before us, and if all go to work
with au earnest and steadfast determina
tion to do all in our power to build up our
native land, sucess is certain to follow well
directed efforts.
{Sl'”Ttie prominence of recent converts
to Republicanism to the more violent Rad
ical utterances at Chicago is as noticeable
as it was at Washington. The most furious
person in the use of language at both places
is Mr. John A. Logan. Col. Forney is dis
tinguishing himself at Chicago, as at Wash
ington. Then we have General Cochrane,
who was tlie most noisy member of Hie
New Yolk delegation in tlie Charleston
Convention, ami was deep in a plot to de
feat the re-election of Lincoln by an af
fectation of Radicalism. Now he is de
claiming stilted sentences of denunciation
of that which be is pleased to call thetrea
son of men who were Republicans when
he was ready to do anything to keep tile
"Southern brethren” in their attitude ol
bosses of tlie Democratic party. Associa
ted with Cocliraue is Mr. Daniel E. Sickles,
whose earliest and most considerable po
litical distiction was that of an apt and fit
representative of the Democracy of New
Yoi k City. These are among the Radicals
who are kicking the old Abolitionists out
of tlie Republican party. The most terrible
Radicals in the Senate and House of
Representatives are Charles D. Drake
anil Ben. Butler. The former was
tlie most malignant opponent of the
Free-soilers in Missouri, in 'the old
days when they were struggling there Un
equal rights, and opposing the extension ol
slavery over free-soil Kansas, lie went
down with his party to tlie very edge of the
precipice over which most of them tum
bled into the fiery gulf of rebellion, and
barely escaped with the smell of the fire in
iiis garment. Ben. Butler voted for Jell'.
Davis for the Presidency fifty-seven times
in the Chaileston Convention, and at Bal
timore followed Y'aneey and tlie Southern
secessionists. Now, we do not presume to
question the sincerity of Cochrance, Sick
les, Logan, Forney, Drake and Butler as
members of the Republican party, but we
do question the wisdom of tlie party taking
their advice, and driving out such men as
Chase, Trumbull and Fessenden. — Cincin

Joe. Brown.
H3f”Tlie constitutionality of the act of
Congress levying the income tax is to he
tested. Mr. John O’Byrne lias filed a bill
in equity in the United States Circuit
Court of Philadelphia for this purpose.
According to the Ledger of that city, the
biU avers that the act is in violation of
article 4, section 9, of the Constitution ol
tlie United States, which says: “Nocapita
tation or other direct tax shall be laid, un
less in proportion to the census or enumer
ation hereinbeiore directed to be taken.”
It seems complainant received a notice
from the United States Assistant Assessor
of tlie eleventh division First District of
Pennsylvania requiring a return of income, [
etc.; that such return was made. The
complainant, having made bis return, re
ceived from Collector Charles Abel a no
tice that he (Mr. Abel; had levied upon
such of bis property as was liable to dis
tress for United States internal revenue
tax due by him, amounting to $544.15, and
notifying him not to remove at his peril
any ol said property without payment of
said tax and expenses of tlie distress; and
that if said tax and costs were not paid be
fore three o’clock on the afternoon of the
10th instant, the property would be taken
possession of, which would increase tlie
amount of payment to $611.04. The com
plainant contends that the act of Congress
and it3 supplements, under which Collector
Abel claims to act, are in direct violation
of and in opposition to tlie Constitution of
the United States, and therefore have no
binding force or effect. Wherefore he
prays the Court to grant a writ of subpoena
directed to Collector Abel, commanding
him to appear before the Court upon a cer
tain day to answer this bill of complaint,
aud to grant an injunction restraining tlie
defendant from taking possession of the
property above referred to, and from exe
cuting said distress. The Court fixed the
tlie first Monday in June on which to hear
the argument.

Wiicn all the counties are heard from,
the majority infavor of a white man's govern
ment will mount up over forty thousand,
and shots that on this question of forcing ne
groes upon an equality with white men, tlie
Radical party cannot control the white
masses in the North. Whenever and
wherever it has been tried, the result was
against tlie project. From Connecticut to
K insas the people have repudiated politi
cal miscegenation. They are willing to pro
tect all tlie civil rights of the negro, to af
ford him an opportunity to work out his
destiny in tho path specified by nature, but
NOWHERE IN TIIE NORTH HAVE
WHITE MEN EVINCED A WILLING
NESS TO OPEN THE BALLOT BOX
FOR THE INDISCRIMINATE USE OF
NEGROES. Repeated attempts to give the
ballot to the negroes have only resulted in
increased, majorities against the scheme. It
is only in tlie South, where white men are
ruled by the bayonet, and States reduced
to the condition of dependencies upon a
central despotic power, that universal ne
gro still'rage lias been put in practice.—
And what is the result ? Needy, unprinci
pled adventurers control the politics of
that section of the country, and the future
is dark and threatening, from the shadows
of a possible war of races. This fact is
having an effect upon the rank and file of
the Radical forces. They ask, why should
Senators and Representatives from Kansas
and Michigan vote in favor of organizing
State governments in the Soutli upon a
negro basis, when their own constituents re
fuse to even allow a negro to approach the
ballot-box ? This interrogatory lies at the
bottom of tho change taking place in all
tlie Northern States. Men may be misled
by passion, blinded by party zeal, but a
day of awakening must come. It lias
dawned in the North and the beams of
truth will soon shine upon such a triumph
of the Democratic party and principles, as
will make the nation shout for joy from
the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. THIS ISA
