.1 rnoE Patterson, the son-in-law of Presi
dent Johnson, and one of the Senators elect from
Tennessee, was belore the Reconstruction Com
mittee recently, and there gave a much more en
couraging account of affairs iu Tennessee tiian
that given by “Governor” Brownlow in his let
ter to Speaker Colfax. In reply to questions on
different subjects, he replied that in East Ten
nessee the people needed no Precdmen’s Bureau.
The negroes there were treated with great hu
manity by their masters before the war, and he
doubted not would be in their new relation. He
said:
“ All the people of Tennessee need is liberty
to protect themselves—they are in no danger
from rebels.” In deference to the apprehensions
of a portion of the people, he would not recom
mend the immediate withdrawal of all govern
ment troops from the State, hut he nevertheless
txdieved it might be done with perfect safety.
E\-President Pierce.—Has just broken a
long silence upon the affairs of the country by a
brief address before the New Hampshire State
Democratie Convention which met on the 7th
instant. He expressed the hope that the country
is now emerging from the thick darkness which
ni one time brooded over the country. That the
present time called lor the calm, dispassionate
and patriotic exertions of all good men in the
work ol restoration. Not merely in form, but a
restoration of community, interests, fraternal feel
ing and equality' of rights among all the States.
Ho expressed himself pleased with the Presi
dents course, and thinks his steps looking to re
storation have been guided by wisdom, patriotism
and statesmanship. Under any circumstances
he thought it would be abject to despair of the
country.
Good Advice.—Henry A. Wise, a most invet
erate talker as he is, sometimes says a good thing.
In a recent speech to the “Richmond Blues,” he
gave this sensible advice :
“ lie, their General hud surrendered, and it
was a bonajide surrender. It' his hearers, those
who fought in the ranks of the Blues would al
low their General to issue his last orders, he
would say surrender, and let it be a bona fide
surrender; not a crouching, servile surrender, but
a surrender upon the point of honor. If oaths
are required of you in order that you may return
to your occupations, take them, if you possibly
can, and go to work. Lay aside your old gray
regimentuls ; they have served you well, and you
never disgraced them. But go to work. It you
can’t get a doliar a day, take the half of it; if
you can’t get a quarter, take a cent; if you can’t
get meat and bread, get bread alone ; and if you
can’t get a whole loaf, take a half. But go to
work! work 1 work!

Of the Ceutral Railroad the Macon Journal
it Messenger says: “ We are glad to chronicle
the fact that the workmen have commenced lay
ing the track on this end ofthe break, beginning
at Gordon. We saw them at work on yesterday,
and they propose to put down about a half a
mile per day. Another force is at work this side
of Milieu, aud laying iron at the rate of three-
quarters of a mile per day. All the bridges and
tresilcwork is already framed and ready to put
up, and Mr. Wadley, the enterprising president,
says that in ninety days, the road* will be in
running order the entire length of the line.
The Directors of the Griffin and North Al
abama Railroad met in Griffin yesterday for the
purpese of organization. The Star thinks that
if the President and Directors will go actively to
work, the road will be completed to Newnan
within six montlis. The stockholders are ready
to back the Directors, aud aid them to the lull
extent ot their ability and influence. By all
means let the work commence immediately.—
The road is nearly all graded to Newnan, and it
-will not cost fituch to put on the cross-ties and
iron. _
We are gratified in being able to contradict an
unpleasent rumor, says a Memphis paper, which
was for sumo time universally circulated and
credited, to the effect that General Forrest had
let! the country, in consequence of orders having
been received to arrest him. It appears, lrom
authentic' information in our posssession, that
neither orders have beeu so received nor has
,Geu. Forrest ever left his plantation.
The President and the Cabinet have had under
a-ousideration the argument of Semtnes, claiming
/he right to be discharged under the Sherman-
Johnston parole, but have come to no definite
conclusion thereon. Until this matter is disposed
of there will be no detail for a court to try
Senunes, and there is a bare probability that the
trial may be indefinitely postponed.
From Texas we learn that the Provost Mar
shal there is busily engaged in arresting and
disarming all parties at Brownsx'ille and in the
vicinity of that town. Colonel Reed, Crawford’s
Adjutant aud Captain Sinclair, of the Mexican
(Liberal) army had also been arrested. The gar
rison at Matamoras was expecting a reinforce
ment of two thousand French troops by way of
the Rio Grande.
United States Marshal for Georgia.—We

Association.
them in for the night, at 4 o’clock, p. in. At this
hour, yesterday, one of Mr. Thomas' deputies,
Chris. Erisman, entered the hall where the pris
oners are permitted to remain during the day, for
the purpose, as usual, of dispersing them to their
respective cells. When Mr. Erisman walked into
their midst, he was seized and the cell keys
wrested from him, as if by a concerted signal.—
No sooner had the felons took possession ot the
keys than the whole posse rushed to the ex
treme corner of the jail, where the keys were
thrown into the cistern, and the mutinous men
began to arm themselves with clubs, sticks, rocks,
and whatever instruments they could find uj>on
the floor. At this juncture, the jailer, Mr.
Thomas, hearing the noise, hastened from the
front office to the inner door of the prison, which
he opened to let his deputy escape from the fury
of the mob. .
The door was then, very unluckily, closed and
locked before the tierce crowd approached it.—
The desperate villains then commenced tearing
down every part of the jail that would yield to
their maddened efforts. There being no one pres
ent at the time except the jailor, his deputy and
two or three citizens, Mr. Thomas, as soon as he
had secured the outer and inner doors, ran into
the office of the Chief of Police, but there was
no officer to lie found. He then went into the
tire station adjoining the prison, procured a dou
ble-barrelled shot gun, and returned to the jail.
The convicts were still using every exertion to
break through the doors and were at the same
time battering and tearing away the doors, win
dows, stairways, etc., in the most reckless man
ner. Mr. Thomas, accompanied by several po
licemen who had repaired to the jail upon hear
ing the alarm, went up into the second tier gal
lery, aud ordered the men to desist from the mu
tiny, and go into their cells, or he would fire up
on them. The-Ringleader, John Beaumont, a
stalwart ruffian, defied Sir. Thomas and the
policeman, telling them “they might shoot and
be d—d, lie would never stop; he had been im
prisoned for nothingetc., etc.
They continued tbeir furious attempts to get
through the doors or walls. Mr. Thomas . again
addressed them, urging them to obey his order.
This seemed only to increase the madness of
the leader and gang. Finally, Mr. Thomas
and the other armed officers, (Capt Gilmore,
Chief of Police, having arrived,) adopted the
only means of subduing the ferocious men, and
fired a volley into them. The shot from Mr.
Thomas’ gun struck Beaumont directly in tiie
forehead, inflicting an ugly bnt not fatal wound
—the buckshot having ranged to the right and
left after striking. None of the other shots took
effect, but the volley intimidated the party and
quieted down every man of them. They went
tamely to their quarters and were locked up with
little or no further difficulty. To guard against
any possible repetition of the outbreak, Mr.
Thomas requested of Gen. Watkins, command
ant of the Post, a detail of men to assist him.—
Sergeant Harris, of the second infantry, was
prentply sent to the jail with a guard for such
duty as might be required. The jailor took the
additional precaution of having some of the
worst of the mutineers heavily shackled.
A blacksmith was carried in, and for a while
the sound of driving rivets up was almost as
harsh as the great din created by the prisoners.
The number upon whom irons were placed last
night was ten, and Mr. Thomas intends to hand
cuff all who participated in the outrage. In this
particular and ’Somewhat trying instance, Mr.
Thomas evinced a composure of mind and wise
conception of duty as an officer of the Common
wealth vainly to be expected as a general rule.
He did everything to allay outside excitement,
aud exerted himself to do by persuasion what lie
was compelled to do by force. Not one man in
a hundred would have quelled such a disturbance
without far more serious results. It is due to
Mr. Thomas to say that he did no more than his
responsibilities as'an officer justified him in do
ing. The shooting ot Beaumont spared bipod if
not the lives of many others. We congratulate
Mr. Thomas, his co-operatiors and our commu
nity that an affair which threatened to be so fla
grant in its consequences was thus speedily sup
pressed.
The men engaged in this daring mutiny were,
with only a few exceptions, those sentenced by
Judge Johnston, of the Circuit Court, on Satur
day last. John Beaumont, under sentence of
t liree years imprisonment for larceny, and Charles
Dubois, sentenced for one year for a like offense,
were the leading spirits in the abortive attempt
to liberate themselves and fellow convicts. It is
most singular that these desperadoes did not
make the attempt on Saturday, while passing to
and from the courthouse under a very meager
guard, when their assurances ot success were al
most as two to one. The only reason we can en
tertain is that the rascals had not prior to that
time held a “council of war” on the subject.—
Mr. Thomas states that on Saturday night and
yesterday morning some of the well-disposed
prisoners intimated to him that a mutiny was
brewing, and would be carried ormiscarried last
night. But as the inmates of the prison are ad
dieted to reporting upon one another, and have
frequently confided “cock and bull stories” to
their governor, Mr. Thomas, he gave little heed
to tlio one question, and of course made no prep
aration to meet the storm which came so nigh
overwhelming him. A stricter watch will be
kept over the occupants of the jail henceforth,
and we only hope tliat any subsequent bullying
on their part tnay be quieted down as summari
ly as in this case. The mutineer convicts will he
sent to Frankfort on Tuesday or Wednesday
next.
A personal explanation took place in Con
gress some days ago between Mr. Rosseau, of
Kentucky, and Mr. Grinnell. Mr. R. rose to a
personal explanation, and sent to the clerk’s desk
the following extract from Mr. G.’s speech made
the day previous:
“The honorable geutlemau from Kentucky,
Mr. Rosseau, declared on Saturday, as I caught
his language, if he were arrested on the com
plaint of a negro and brought before one of the
agents of the Bureau when he became free he
would shoot him. Is that civilization? It is the
spirit of barbarism that has too long dwelt on
our land; the spirit ot the infernal regions that
brought on the rebellion and this war. History
rejieats itself. 1 care not whether the gentleman
was four years in the war on the Union side, or
four years on the other side, but I say that he de
graded his State and uttered a sentiment I thought
unworthy of an American officer when he said
that he would do such an act on the complaint
of a negro against him.”
Mr. Rosseau: “ I denounce that statement as
false—a vile slander, and unworthy of any gen
tleman on the floor of this House.”
■ Mr. Grinnell: “ I referred to the gentleman’s
remarks as I understood them, for the gentleman
withheld his speech from the Globe. l had no
desire to do injustice. I criticised the gentle
man’s language. I stand by it. If I did not cor
rectly represent what he said, I beg the gentle
man’s pardon.”
Air. Rosseau: “ My object is not to get an apol
ogy, but to say what I have said.”
Air. Grinnell—“The gentleman’s language is
no offense. 1 stand on my rights as a member
of this House, and I simply discharge my duties
sis I understand that they should be discharged.
When I criticised the language of the gentleman
from Kentucky, 1 did so from a sense of duty. I
thought that language unworthy of an American
officer and of his own State.”
Mr. Rosseau—“I understand that the gentle
man is a preacher of the gospel, and yet lacks
charity for all men. I am a new member of this
House, and have endeavored to act with the ut
most courtesy; but it does come with very bad
grace from the gentleman who slept in safety
while others were fighting on the battle field to
make sucli a remark concerning myself. He
could not exercise the most common charity, “but
when a gentleman had left the House he gets up
in his seat to insult him in violation of the rules
of the House.”
Mr. Grinnell—“I have only to say that the
gentleman has paraded his profession of arms
before this House. I have not paraded my own.
The gentleman says I am a clergyman, but I
have to answer him that I was a man before I
was a minister. I claim to be a man now and
an American citizen. I am not ashamed of my
origin or my profession, and I stand by my'con
stituents, my principles and my country.”
Wk were gratified on yesterday, with a
visit from our old and valued friend Col. W. M.
Lowry, formerly of Greeneville, East Tennessee,
but at present a citizen of Atlanta, Georgia. We
have not seen our valued friend since we were
both straggling in our Democratic State Conven
tion of 1S00 to have the name of Andrew John
son placed before the people for the Presidency.
Sad changes have taken place since then.
We were pleased to receive from CoL Lowry a
favorable report of the condition of affairs in
Georgia. He assures us that the greatest har
mony exists among the people of that State, and
of their cordial disposition toward the restora
tion policy of the government. Atlanta, he re
ports as rapidly recovering from the great inju
ries inflicted upon it during the war. He* thinks
it is destined to be the leading inland city of the
South.—Nashville American.
Colonel of the 1st Tennessee Cavalry, one of Ten
nessee’s best soldiers, and one ot our best citi
zens, was deliberately murdered by a negro sol
dier.
So far as we are able to learn, the facts are as
follows:
The Colonel, in company with Capt. Sharp,
having completed his purchases, went to tlie
rear of the building, which contained the proper
ty they had bought; at this place a negro guard
was stationed, with orders to allow no person to
enter the building except on business. Each of
the gentlemen had the necessary papers in hand,
to show that he was entitled to entrance, and
Captain Sharp did enter unquestioned, but Col.
Dyer, who was immediately following the Cap
tain, was ordered by the guard to halt; the Col
onel told the guard he was after his property, at
the same time showed his papers, and then
stepped in the building, xvhen the guard tired
U|>on him, shot him through the brea-W. and kill
ed him instantly.
The body of the murdered maD was immedi
ately taken possession of, and placed in a metal-
ic coffin, preparatory to sending him to his home
at New Market. In the death of this gentle
man, we have to deplore the loss of one of Ten
nessee’s first defenders, and best citizens. He left
his home and joined the Union army as a private
iu Kentucky, as early as 1862. Shortly thereaf
ter, he was promoted to 1st Lieutenant, in his re
giment, ancPtheu again to Major, in August
1863. At the time of the Wheeler raid on Nash
ville, in 1864, he was promoted to Lieutenant Col
onel, from which time, he was in command of
his regiment until mustered out of the service;
since then his course has been marked by his ef
forts to restore peace and harmony to the people
of his vicinity, and in every manner, indicative
of a good citizen ot Tennessee, 'devoted to her
best interests.
That the life ot any man, and especially of one
so well known and beloved as he, should be thus
wantonly sacrificed, we, in unison with the voice
ofthe people, take occasion to deplore; that
men’s lives are to be continually endangered by
the presence of a set of men in authority, utterly
ignorant of the discernment between right and
wrong, we emphatically protest against. We do
not wish it understood that we are among those
that are of the opinion that mob law is in any
case justifiable.
What the world may think of us, from the de
velopments of a later period in the day, we are
not well able to predict. Whether it will make
allowance for the feeling of those who knew the
murdered man best, associated with him through
trials m four year's terrible war, experienced at
his hands the ministrations of an excellent offi
cer and almost brother, and who in their rage at
his tragic fate, took the law into their own hands,
and punished the murderer, or judge those who
participated in the summary punishment, as
men utterly unused to a recognition ot civil law,
we cannot venture to say.
Wc are inclined to the belief, that the sober
second-thought of a people, will severely con
demn tills usurpation of civil law, which attaches
to us an unenviable reputation.
The guard, after having done this terrible deed,
was arrested by Captain Wainwriglit, and sent
under guard to his office, there to be placed in
custody of Captain Abdill, who commanded the
negro’s company. It seems, that before reach
ing the office, the guard quitted Ifim, and he was
met by his officer, who asked him what he was
doing away from his place of duty, to which the
negro answered, he had been ordered to his quar
ters under arrest. The officer then ordered him
to go into his quarters, to await a further devel
opment of the tact, of which the negro availed
himself to make his escape.
By this time an infuriated mob had gathered,
and proceeded to the office and ijjemanded the
negro, but the officer being unable to produce
him, was menaced with threats of hanging for
being accessory to his escape. Through our in
tercession the mob agreed that we, in company
with the officer, should seek him, but our search
was in vain.
Returning to the mob we informed them of the
fact, when three or four of them again took the
officer, to renew the search, making the success
of the searcli a condition of his own life. At
about two o’clock the murderer was found at
the government corral, where he had secreted
himself.
In attempting to make his escape about a do
zen shots were fired at him, three of which took
effect , but none seriously disabling him. He was
at length captured and dragged to the corner on
which the office of the Frcednren’s Bureau stands,
where an attempt was made to hang him. Up
to this-time he had exhibited little or no sign of
life, and it was generally supposed that the rough
treatment he had experienced had proved fatal;
but upon being pulled up by the rope he strug
gled so violently that the rope broke and he fell
to the ground. »
Jumping up, he made a desperate attempt to
escape, but was soon overpowered, and then ta
ken to the yard in front of Captain Wainwriglit’s
office, where, after procuring a stronger rope and
allowing the wretched man a few moments to
appeal to the Source of all Mercies, the inexora
ble mob hung him to a tree. It was full twenty
minutes before he ceaifed to struggle, and fifteen
minutes more before judges pronounced the fact
tliat his guilty spirit had taken leave of its ghost
ly tenement.

ed from killing him by the exertions of a corpo

shal and his deputy. The negro soldiers: carried
Mr. L. as far as Duran’s corner, where some al
lege he was taken by citizens from them. We
however heard Lieut. Mulligan, U. S. A., who
had arrived on the Macon train that afternoon,
more than once assert that, after he had obtained’
from Mr. L. his name, he released him and told
him to go on about his business and he did so.
We are confident that Mr. L. will appear as soon
as a fair hearing can be obtained. He bore quiet
ly for some time from the negro soldier what he
never would do from a white tnan.
Mr. Sol. Crew, who, without cause, was knock
ed down by a musket in a negro soldier’s hands,
though very seriously bruised, is not dangerously
hurt.
After the confusion had all subsided, Major
Warner started up the street with Mr. D. Ad
ams, home. Major Warner dreamed not of dan
ger. When the two arrived at Grant’s comer
three or four guns were fired at them from the
windows of the negro soldiers’ barracks in
Bank’s building. One ball shattered the Major
right knee, and he instantly fell. As Mr. Adams
moved off to get assistance, several shots were
tired at him. Procuring the assistance of a gen
tleman, Mr. Adams carried the Major to the Hor-
bach House, where, as we stated yesterday, his
leg was amputated aliove the knee. Yesterday
he was doing well. The negroes fired upon all
who passed by the barracks. They shot at Mr.
Mott and made him hurry away, and cursed bit
terly a lady and gentleman passing on their way
home and called out, “kill them!” “kill them!”
but did not fire. They acted as if they were
drunk. No provocation for this firing from the
barrack windows was given.
Major Warner was one of our most orderly
and esteemed citizens and the community deep
ly sympathizes with his sufferings.
Yesterday the negro soldiers were confined to
the barracks, and our citizens, but more espe
cially our ladies, escaped insult, the most out
rageous and glaring.
As Mr. Rutherford did nothing, no attempt
was made to capture him, or, if it was done it
proved abortive.

of the Georgia
Society.
The attendance of members at the anniversary
meeting last night was the largest we have wit
nessed on any previous occasion for many years,
and the feeling of interest manifested in the af
fairs of the society afforded most gratifying assu
rance of its future prosperity and usefulness.—
After the transaction of the usual preliminary
business, the society went into the election of
officers for the ensuing year, when the following
gentlemen were re-elected:
President—Right Rev. Stephen Elliott.
First Vice President—John Stoddard, Esq.
Second Vice President—Hon. Solomon Cohen.
Corresponding Secretary—Dr. R. D. Arnold.
Recording Secretary—Dr. Easton Yonge.
Treasurer—Wm. S. Bogarr, Esq.
Librarian—J. F. Canu, Esq.
CurotQrs-mCol. W. Thorne Williams, Wm. B.
Hodgson, Esq., Dr. W. M. Charters, Thos. M.
Norwood, Esq., H. A. Richmond and Hon. J. E.
Harden.
After the election of officers the President read
an address to the members, iu which he alluded
to the manifest decline of the standard of literary
taste in the country, and urged the importance
of maintaining in our midst an institution which
should stimulate and foster an interest in letters.
He recommended the infusion of new vigor in
the management of the society, an enlargement
of its means and its sphere of usefulness, by ren
dering it attractive and by extending its benefits
to the intellectual community of both sexes.—
Among the most important practical suggestions
of the address was a proposition to dispose of its
present library building and bujld a larger hall
upon a more eligible site.
The address was listened to with earnest ap
proval by the members, and at its conclusion, on
motion of Colonel Williams, a copy was solicited
for publication in pamphlet form.
After the transaction ot some further business,
the society adjourned to supper at the Marshal
House, in the elegant dining saloon of which they
found a most sumptuous repast awaiting them,
and where an hour or more was spent in discuss
ing the choice viands set before them by mine
hoste Luce, amid the most agreeable interchange
of social converse, wit and sentiment. The cler
gy of the city graced the occasion, and it was
perhaps their venerated presence, certainly not
the tameness of the wines, that gave to the con
viviality a tone of moderation and rationality pe
culiarly agreeable and highly becoming the char
acter o! the anniversary'celebrated. A life-like
portrait of the late esteemed L K. Tefft, for many
years Corresponding Secretary of the Society,
occupied a prominent position at the head of the

Randolph being asked to play chess on one
occasion refused, and gave the following reason:
“I have not played at chess for the last seven
teen years; the very sight of the board and men
f 'ves rise to painful remiscences, for the last game
played lost me a personal friend forever. I was
on the most intimate terms with Mr. Jefferaon,
as you may have heard, it being now matter of
history, and I soon found out that, politician and
philosopher as he was. he took more pride in his
skill at chess than in anything else. Few could
beat him, and at last he could not endure defeat.
Knowing this, and feeling that I was his match,
I had always declined playing as I did not want
to quarrel with him, until one unfortunate even
ing, when he touched my Virginian pride in so
pointed a way that 1 could no longer refuse with
honor, and we sat down to the ^ame. It was a
warm contest. Greek met Greek. I at length
cried ‘checkmate;’ and he never forgave me after
wards.”
Council and the Garrison.—On motion of
Alderman Salisbuty, the following was adopted?
by Council on Monday night:
Whereas, a detachment of the 103d U. 8. col
ored troops has been recently sent to this city as
a garrison, and whereas it is believed that there
is no necessity for the presence of any military
force to preserve peace and order in our city, the
same never having been moat tranquil, quiet and
orderly than since the witlulrawal of Colonel
Woodall’sregiment; and whereas, the presence
of said colored troops has a tendency to disor
ganize the coloredpopulation of the city and sur
rounding country, evidences of which are already
manifest ;and whereas, there exists in the city
and its vicinity a very general and serious appre
hension and alarm amongst the white citizens,
growing out of the presence of said colored
troops, and it is deemed highly desirable that
they should be withdrawn, and immediate steps
taken to accomplish that object if possible—there
fore
Resolved, Tliat a committee of three Aldermen
and three citizens, with his Honor, the Mayor,
be instructed to call upon the United States au
thorities now in this city, and see if some meas
ure cannot be adopted to cause the withdrawal
ofthe garrison now.stationed here; that said
committee be instructed, if necessary, to commu
nicate to those in authority the state of affairs,
aud by petition or otherwise endeavor to have
the garrison withdrawn.
Alderman Salisbury, Bivins and Mcllhenny
were appointed as Aldermen on said Committee,
and ex-Provisional Governor Johnson, and
Messrs. R. L. Mott and Wiley Williams its the
citizens.

The following is an extract from the reply of
the President to the Virginia delegation at a re
cent interview. President Johnson said:
When the people send such men in good faith
they are entitled to representation through them.
In going into the recent rebellion or insurrection
against the Government of the United States you
erred, and, in returning and resuming your rela
tions with the Federal Government, I am free to
say thatlffi other responsible positions and places
ought to be conferred distinctly and clearly to
men who are loyal. If there were 5,000 men in
the State, or a less number, but sufficint to take
charge of the political machinery of the State,
those 5,000 men or the lesser number are entitled
to it. If all the rest should be otherwise includ
ed, I look upon it as being fundamental that the
exercises of the political powers shall be confin
ed to loyal men, and I regard it as implied in the
doctrines laid down in these resolutions, and in
the eloquent address by which they have been
accompanied. I may say that, furthermore, af
ter having passed through the great struggle in
which we hare been engaged, we should he
placed upon ranch more acceptable grounds iu
resuming relations to the general government it
unm^takable and unquestionably loyal men
were presented to fill the places of power. This
being done, I feel that the day is not distant (I
speak confidently in reference to the great mass
of my own people) when they will determine
that the Union shall be made whole and tbe
great right of representation in the councils
of the nation be acknowledged. Gentle
men, that i3 the fundamental principle. No
taxation without representation was one of
the principles which carried us through the rev
olution. This great principle will hold good yet,
and it we but perform our duty, if we but com
ply with the spirit of the resolutions presented
me to-day, the American people will maintain
and sustain the great doctrines upon which the
Government was inaugurated. It can be done,
and will be, and I think that if the effort be fairly
and fully made, with forbearance and with pru
dence, and with discretion and wisdom, the end
is not very far distant. jLt seems apparent, that
from every consideratiottThe best policy which
could be adopted at present would be a restora
tion of these States aud of the Government upon
correct principles. We have some foreign diffi
culties, hut the moment it can be answered that
the union of the States is again complete, and
that we have resumed our career of prosperity
and greatness, at that very instant, almost, all our
foreign difficulties will be settled. There is no
power upon earth which will dare to have a con
troversy or a rupture} with the Government of
the United States, under such circumstances.—
With these States fully restored, the area for
the circulation ofthe national currency, which it
thought by some to be ^inflated to a very great
extent will be enlarged, those through whose
hands it is to pass will be increased. The qual
ity of commerce, in which it is to be employed
as a medium of exchange, will be enlarged, and
then it will begin to approximate what we all
deire—a specie standard. If all the States were
retored, if peace and order reigned throughout
the land, and the industrial pursuits and old av
ocations of peace were again resumed, the day
would not be far distant when we could put in
the commerce of the world two hundred and fif
ty million dollars or three hundred million dol
lars worth of cotton and tobacco and various pro
ducts of the Southern States, which would con
stitute in part a basis of this currency.
* * * *
Hence, when these States and their people
shall have complied with the requirements of the
Government I shall be in favor of their resuming
their former relations to this Government in all
respects. I do not intend to say anything per
sonal, but you know as well as 1 do that at the
beginning ot the recent gigantic struggle between
the different sections of the country there were
extreme men South and there were extreme men
North. I might make use of a homely figure,
which is sometimes as good as any other in the
illustrations of great and important questions,
and say that there has been S’hammer at one
end of the line and an anvil at the other.

Romance in a Senator’s Life.—Frazer’s
Magazine tells the following story, bnt does not
mention the name of its hero, who is Senator
Lane, of Kansas:
A distinguished politician of Indiana, becom
ing interested in the movement for making Kan
sas a free State, left his wife and repaired to that
territory, intending to return soon. Becoming,
howevers, identified with the struggles of Kan
sas, the Senator stayed away very long. His
wife at length demanded his return. He wrote
back that it was impossible to return. His wife
waited a little, and then wrote, declaring that un
less he returned by a stated time, she would sue
for a divorce. The Senator made no reply, but
gave a glowing account of the patriotic move
ment in which he bore an important part.
The next letter he received was from the clerk
of a court in Indiana, informing him that his
wife had filed a bill, with another from a lawyer
offering to defend him. The Senator wrote back
to the lawyer, as follows: “Dear Sir: Yours is
at hand. My wife says she will not stand my
fong absence. If I were she, I would not stand
it either. I shall offer no opposition to her snit.
Yonrs, &c., .” Two long years after
wards, when the divorce had long been granted,
the Senator returned to Washington as Senator
of the free State of Kansas, visited his old home
in Indiana, and found his wife still blooming and
handsome, and surrounded by admirers. With
the rest he visited her from time to time, became
presently the accepted lover, and was re-married
to her.
old Constitution and the old Union. They re
solve to change it essentially. Not a vestige of
the old Government will be left Then it will
suit ludicalism. It will give the Radicals pow
er, and that is what they want They would not
dare to submit these changes to the whole peo-
E le North and South; to the people that are to
ve under it. They are to-day a minority, with
purse and swerd, babbling about freedom, which
they care nothing about, except their own free
dom—their freedom to domineer over and perse
cute other people. They do the work of their
fathers, who came to this country to free them
selves and have the opportunity to oppress and
persecute others. They entertain us with the
same cant, and snivel about right, justice and
God; and whilst they usurp power and com-
mit petjury hey put on a sanctimonious face
and prate about righteousness and justice.—
They are a body of revolutionists, with an utter
disregard of all that is sacred in covenant en
gagements, written down and ratified in Consti
tutions. They are doing what they can to j ustify
in history, the late rebellion. When men here
after inquire why the South attempted to secede,
they will look what sort of Government this
party tliat attained power made; at their perver
sions of tha Constitution; at their vindictive
measures toward the Southern States; and they
will not wonder that the South rebelled. If the
party in power would make such changes by
such means, and adopt such arbitrary and des
potic practices toward the Southern States, who
could blame them for making the effort to cut
loose from such a power?
Neither North nor South ever conferred on the
Federal Government the power to do suoh deeds.
They never consented to the existence of such a
power. It is not written in the bond, and has no
sanction but the purse and the sword.
But no consideration will stop this fanaticism.
It is mighty to destroy, but incapable of building
up. All countries have at times been cursed with
it, and we must have our day of it.
The spirit of the Northern press in regard
to the recent interview between the President
and the negroes will be found interesting. The
New York Express says;
It is a long while since the colored people had
so much good advice given them by one who is
undoubtedly their friend; and if they are wise,
they will not be slow to accept it, in the same
spirit in which.it was tendered. The President,
in a few well directed sentences, disabused their
minds of the fatal hallucination that the recent
war was undertaken for the abolition of slavery
—and that equally fatal hallucination, that ne
gro suffrage is the panacea for the evils incident
to their existing condition in the social scale.—
These people were given to understand in short,
that a great deal had been done for them, at im
mense cost by the Government and the people—
and that it became them, under the circumstances
not to be clamorous for more. That speech will
do good. It was eminenly opportune. The Presi
dent deserves, and will receive, for it the thanks
of every lover of his country, and of his race.
The radicals, ol course, think differently. Ac
cording to the Tribune :
“ The news of the conversation which occur
red between the President and these oolored cit
izens, was brought to the House by prominent
members of the delegation. They gave an ac
count of the interview to a number of Congress
men who instantly gathered around them, and
there teas a general feeling of disappointment and
sadness."
The Chicago Times says :
Another feature of this interview will be recog
nized with satisfaction. It is that the President
refused to assent to the impudent demand of
Fred Douglass to argue the question. He showed
great condescension in admitting these men to an
interview at a time when so pressed with the
affairs of government. He displayed equal con
descension when he took the time to patiently
give these negroes his opinions, and he displayed
only proper dignity when he declined Fred.
Douglass’ proposition to debate tbe matter. Mr.
Johnson very properly believes that the white
house is not the proper pluce for a wrangle with
plantation hands, boot-blacks, and table-waiters,
over the policy of the government. There is
probably no delegation of white men in this
country who would propose to turn the presi
dential mansion into a debating school. The
most that white people do when they call on the
President is to respectfully listen to him. It re
quired the insolence of a mob ot negroes to pro
pose to the President of the United States that he
should enter with them upon an argument with
reference to questions of State policy.

A Northern paper says:
It is 9aid that many Southerners, Congressmen
elect and others, have left Washington and re
turned home, convinced that the tune when the
Southern States will be folly restored is a day
somewhat distant in the iuture. If they carry
with them the conviction that the day is near or
remote, according as the Southern people act,
they will go impressed with at least one grand
truth. And if they at the some time realize that
Congress will first lay down certain conditions
to be complied with before the door will be open
ed, they return with as much knowledge as is
necessary to produce right action.
No Southern man—no man from any quarter
—can have been in Washington since the assem
bling of Congress, withouth becoming convinced
that henceforth new ideas and practices are to
prevail, a3 the result of the rebellion. The at
tempt to overthrow the Government, which
ended in the overthrow of slavery, in behalf of
which institution the attempt was made, has left
several things to be adjusted before the machi
nery can be again fully set iu motion. This is
what Congress is doing, and the work will have
to be completed before the returning Southern
gentlemen'will be wanted again at tne Capital.
The temper shown in the Southern legislatures
has made it necessary to make the work all the
more thorough, both in justice to the colored
population and the paramount considerations re
lating to membership in the Union. It was ne
cessary that the question of representation should
be disposed of, so that the Southern States would
not have relatively more members than the
Northern.
Wise men have foreseen,that additional guar
antees were necessary for the protection of freed-
men, and these the bill that lias just passed the
Senate will pretty effectually confirm. Other
measures of safety will probably be deemed
necessary—all resulting from the rebellious at
tempt aud the subsequent rebellious manifesta
tions.
Months ago, the South would have been suffer
ed to return on term9 which are not to be thought
ot now, and simply because of its own conduct
And it depends upon itself whether even more
stringent restrictions shall not be imposed—not
in a vindictive spirit, but simply as a measure of
justice aud a9 a wise precaution.
We think it a good sign, therefore, tliat the
Southerners are returning to their homes, because
they must carry with them a knowledge of these
things, and be prepared to instruct their own
people that they may proceed to right action.
Tropical Notions.—A notice of Sir John
Bowring’s recent “ Recollections of Java,” in an
English magazine, says:
“ Sir John was present once at the arrival of a
cargo of ice for the first time in Java. 4 The peo
ple/ he said, 4 looked at it with the same wonder
at first that they would have felt had they seen
similar masses of ctystal. They touched it; the
•cold was such as they had never before expe
rienced, and the novel sensation filled them with
awe and apprehension. But when it dissolved
in their hands they fancied they had unknowing
ly worked a miracle, and that some demon must
have been at the bottom of the mystery. De
scriptions of snow, frost, ice and winter scenery
have a singular attraction to the inhabitants of
the hot regions. These are to them the very ro
mance of nature. In my travels in the interior
of Java I met with a most accomplished lady,
who was burning with a desire, about to be grat
ified, of visiting Europe. ‘And now tell me of all
vou hope to see; from what do you expect to re
ceive the greatest pleasure ?’ 4 Ob,’ she answered,
4 a forest without leaves.’ ”
A curious law case has been tried in France
