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. Butler continue his mousing investiga tions ?— Philadelphia News. JSPWhen a Radical fails to do what his party expects of him, starightway he Is charged with being bought. They know their owa TCSftoess,— ffimpMi Amhnche. Front Japan. 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 ner. 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. IS” Prentice says the Southern negroes ought to be prosperous as they are taking stock largely. , 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 nati Commercial. The Commercial should have included. 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 WHITE MAN’S GOVERNMENT, and white men are preparing to protect it from the machinations of theparty now in power. tW Representing the War Democracy of tlie North, Miles O’Reilly, of the New York Citizen, says: “ Were it possible to nominate Chief Justice Chase, he would be a strong candidate; but that being impossi ble, we have no chance of success with any one but General Hancock ” ADMINISTRATORS SALE. • 11V virtue of an order ot the Court of Ordinary of Gordon county, Georgia, will be sold before the Court House door, in the town ol Calhoun on the first Tuesday in July next, between the legal hours ot sale.
