Tbe Lawyer*’ Test Oatb.
Wo devote most of our space to-day to the
publication of Ex-Governor Brown’s argument
l>cfore Judge Erskine, of the United States Dis
trict Court, for Georgia, at Savannah, against the 1
constitutionality of the test oath prescribed for
attorneys practicing at the bar of said court.—
We could not lay Ijeforc our readers more inter
esting matter; we may add considering the prin
ciples discussed, moral, as well as legal, we could
not lay before them more important matter. The
principles discussed are to the people, North as
well as South, as well as to the legal profession,
vital ones. They involve rights claimed in every
civilized country by the citizens thereof, in time
of peace, even though they had been conquered
in war, and rights that have been no where
denied them. The attempt now made to infringe
upon those rights, has been made in the United
States, and by its highest judicial tribunal.—
Against this assumption Governor Brown’s argu
ment is directed. We commend it to the atten
tion of our readers. It is not only a clear, forci
ble, and conclusive legal document, but it is elo
quent withal. As a statesman and jurist, Gov
ernor Brown has already won an enviable repu
tation ; this effort ol his, will add largely to the
sime.
The Constitutional Amendment
Which passed the House of Representatives of
the Congress of the United States on the 10th
instant, by a vote of 125 to 37, apportions repre
sentatives according to numbers, and disfran
chises, until 1870, all who voluntarily adhered
to the cause of the late Confederate States during
the war. The whole intention of this act of the
radical majority in that body is set forth in the
following extract from tbe speech of a Pennsyl
vania member, Mr. Randel, when the bill was
put upon its passage. “ It was,” lie said, “ to
prevent the possibility of any Southern State
voting for tho amendment. The whole scheme
was one of procrastination and delay, looking to
the exclusion of the Southern States rill atler the
next Presidential election. The President’s plan,
on ilie contrary, was plain and simple, just and
effectual, and as lie belived, acceptable to a vast
majority of tbe people, North and South. The
issue between the President and Congress was
made up, and the appeal must be made to tbe
people. He believed that nothing could avert
the speedy possession of the legislative branch ol
the Government by the conservative men of the
country, under the lead of Andrew Johnson.”
This is the whole scheme. We believe the
President will veto it. We notice also a report
that even Chief Justice Chase has pronounced
the hill an unconstitutional one.

Only Eleven Million* of Dollar*.
The Hon. Henry J. Raymond, a republican
member of Congress from the city of New York,
and chief editor of the New York Times, is re
ported assaying that—
“ The nation has done so much for the negro,
and at such a cost, that it does not feel called up
on just now to do much more,” and he is also of
opinion that “there can’t he a doubt, that the
country is tired and disgusted with the extrava
gant style in which the claims of the negro have
been pressed.”
Mr. Raymond doubtless thought, when he ex
pressed himself, of Gen. Howard’s modest call
upon Congress for only eleven millions of dol
lars to sustain 1.1ie operations of tbe Preedmen’s
Bureau, tbe present year. And why should he
not. call for it, and more; for they, the operations
of the Bureau, will rcquire'inuch more ere, the
expiration of that institution, judging as we may
from the progress it makes in developing the na
ture. of tbe negro, and the interests of the race
one prominent characteristic of which is, if lie
be given bread in his idleness, in idleness he
will remain, indulging in all the low vices
of his nature. General Howard lias not ask
ed for too much. True, he hits asked for a
sum that astounds the public, and a sunt that the
national treasury can hardly spare; hut the ope
rations of the bureau demand the sacrifice, and
although the sum nearly equals the amount ex
pended to cany on the government during the
administration of John Quincy Adams, the ex
travagance of which was the theme of the oppo
sition to him when lie was n candidate for elec
tion, causing his defeat, still the radical Congress
must stand up to it and appropriate the money.
The bureau must be sustained ; its host of offi
cers. male and female, must lie paid their salaries;
its agents must be paid ; its dependents must be
provided for; tbe negro pauper must be provided
with food and clothing; he is the national pau
per, and il it requires twenty instead of eleven
million, the nation must now make the sacrifice,
from which may it be freed in 1867, else fifty
million annually will not suffice.
Mr. Raymond may well say that “ the country
is tired and disgusted with the extreme and ex
travagant style in which the claims of the negro
have been pressed.” He is one of the republican
members ot Congress, and ought to know. He
is one of the editors of a leading black republican
newspaper in the metropolis of the United
States, and he surely ought to know.
Corn for tlio Widows and Orphans of Sol*
tilers and Others.
The Milledgeville Federal Union, in its last
issue, under the foregoing heading, contains the
following important notice:
In response to a special message from Gover
nor Jenkins, upon the subject, the last Legisla
ture, iu March, authorized the Governor to bor
row $200,000 lor t he purpose of purchasing corn
for the indigent widows and orphans of deceased
soldiers, and for disabled soldiers and infirm
white persons unable to support themselves.
Since the adjournment of the Legislature, the
Governor lias been using every exertion to raise
this money, but in consequence of tlie condition
of the country, has not been able to do so. We
are glad to learn that there is now some pros
pect of his concluding arrangements that will
enable him soon to distribute this corn to the
destitute persons provided for in the Act of th«
Legislature.
But even were the money or corn all in hand,
and ready to be distributed* there would be diffi
culty in a general distribution, or in knowing ex
actly liow to distribute the same, as we learn
that only about one-third ot the counties have
made their returns of the beneficiaries. If the
delay in making returns is iu consequence of
there not being many beneficiaries iu these veri-
large number ot counties to lie heard from, so
much the better; but whether the number be
large or small, it is to lie hoped that the remain
ing" counties will soon make their returns, that
the Governor may have little or no difficulty in
making the distribution when the corn is secured.
Ir will bo seen from the foregoing that those
counties failing to make their returns as request
ed by the Governor, will not only embarrass
him in making distribution of the corn, but
will in all probability deprive the suffering poor
within tlieir limits ot their share of the State’s
bounty. Such neglect would be cruel to the
poor. We trust that the Inferior Courts of every
delinquent county in the State will at once pro
ceed lo make out their returns and transmit
them to the Governor.
C. C. Clay.—We had the pleasure of meet
ing, yesterday, Judge* Clay, who was released
list week after an imprisonment of eleven
months, conducted with a rigor which we are
wont to associate with the letter dr cachet and
the worst days ol Bourbonism.
Judge Clay has grown prematurely old, has be
come quite gray, and suffers evidently from the
nervous strain of an imprisonment, aggravated
by_ those injurious subtleties of anuoyauee which
it is] the delight of men to inflict, and the
torture of proud men to endure.
_ We trust he may rapidly recover, now that
his shackles are off, and may live to write his
chapter in that great volume of offsets which is
to tell the history of the Butlers, the McNiels,
the Schencks, and scores of their compeers, and
which will reveal the secrets of Johnson’s Is
land, of Fort Delaware, of the Old Capital, of better country than any other; for the rich man

AHOCMEXTS BEFORE THE EXITED STATES DIS
TRICT COURT AT SAVANNAH.
The Savannah Fetes dc Herald reports the ar
guments of Judge Law and Ex-Governor Joseph
E. Brown, upon the constitutionality of the Test
Oath as applicable to attorneys, the question hav
ing arisen from the motion of the former to be
permitted to continue his practice in the Court
in which he had practiced lor forty-nine years,
without taking the oath.
Judge Law, that paper says, first addressed
the Court, and gives the substance of his argu
ment. He was followed by Governor Brown,
whose argument is reported in full. We liave
only space to-day for the report which follows,
of the argument of the former gentleman—that
of Governor Brown, we shall lay before our
readers in our next issue.
Judge Law addressed the Court, Judge Ers
kine presiding, as follows :
He opened tlie case by producing before the
court the Amnesty Proclamation of President
Johnson, the oath of allegiance which lie had
taken under that proclamation, and an affidavit
covering his acceptance of the term pardon as
required by the proclamation—the original letter
having been sent to Washington as required.
He remarked that he had not designed to enter
into the full consideration of the legal question,
in consequence of indisposition ana the limited
time in which to prepare such an argument as
would do justice to the question; bnt inasmuch
as the case has been brought forward upon his
own application for admission to practice in the
court of the United States, he felt it necessary to
open the case by indicating tbe main point upon
which he relied.
In an eloquent tribute to the fidelity of the
Supreme Court, to the great trusts committed to
them, the distinguished gentleman expressed his
entire confidence in the results of tlieir delibera
tions upon the subject. The judiciary, however,
powerless in times when great convulsions agi
tated and threatened the destruction of the coun
try—when sectional strife, extending to all class
es and parlies, had destroyed, for a while, its
vitality—when its righteous decisions were un
heard in the din of war—had always been true
to the constitution of the country—the great
charter of American liberties—He could not,
therefore, doubt what the decision of that tribu
nal would eventually be. The first proposition
laid down was : that on the 18tli of February,
1865, he contended that he had been fully and
freely pardoned by the Executive, which pardon
embraced a full release from all the pains and
penalties incurred by any act or acts commited
anterior to it; that the test oaili was the inflic
tion of pains and penalties, and therefore null
and void; that the pardoning power is a consti
tutional power conferred upon the President, and
no act of Congress can take away the benefit
which the exercise of this power bestows upon
the subject of the Executive elemency. He
elaborated Uiis point, contending that the act was
a penal act, and in its operation, especially fn his
own case, the infliction of pains and penalties.
The second proposition discussed was that the
test oath, mutilated with that provision of the
Constitution which forbids that the accused shall
be made a witness to criminate himself. You
cannot put the witness upon the stand to crimin
ate himself that would offend against the law
and the constitution. You cannot set up the in
quisition, aud by the application of the torture,
compel confession. That would shock humani
ty, and he abhorrent to the civilization of the age,
but by an ingenious device you apply an inqusi-
tioual test to his conscience, searching out its
most secret thoughts and emotions, by which
you accomplish so effectually and completely the
destruction of the rights of person and property,
as though lie were stricken upon the rack, and
the screws aud tortures of the inquisition applied
to his person. This is repulsive to the nature of
our Government, to her lree institutions, danger
ous to the liberty of the citizen, and virtually de
fies the 5tli Article of Amendments to the Con
stitution. What does it propose? You must
purge yourself by an oath that you have not com
mitted, suspected, or imputed, or imagined
offences, before you shall exercise or enjoy
rights and property which otherwise are tlie un
alienable inheritance of an American citizen.
But the benign principle of the law, and the
claims of the Constitution already referred to,
considers every one innocent until the}' are
proved guilty, and further declares that “ no
one shall be deprived of life, liberty or property,
without due process of law.” This principle of
magna charta, engrafted into the Constitution
and interpreted by the highest legal authorities,
is well defined and indisputable. \Vhnt is meant
by due process of law? That the person charg
ed with crime shall have the benefit of an im
partial trial by a jury of his peers, and by in
dictment or presentment, arraignment, and com
pulsory attendance of witnesses, and the full
investigation of the charges, the benefit of
counsel in his defence, and all the provisions
which the humane maxims of the law throws
around him. This whole arrangement of a test
oath militates against the clause of the Constitu
tion. With one single stroke his head is cut off;
and by the contrivance of a test oath he is as
effectually executed as if the axe had done its
work.
The third proposition is that an attorney has a
franchise aud a property in his office and its
emoluments, and that this act divests him of this
franchise, this property, and is consequently null
aud void. He is not an officer of the Govern
ment. The whole matter by the Judiciary Act,
36, his qualifications and admission is pointed
out by the legislatures and is referred to the
court.* He is an officer of the court. To cany
out the provision of the law the license is granted
without limitation. It is “ dum bene segesserit,”
and cannot be revoked by the government but
for crime ascertaned by due process of law. Nor
can it be revoked by the court while he conducts
himself properly. He acquires, therefore a vest
ed interest in his office and its emoluments. His
mind, soul and body are given to his profession
al labors; and by these labors, protected by law,
his rights of property in, and the emoluments of,
his office become vested interests. What are
vested interests ? They have been defined—see
“ Charlton Rep,” 332. A vested interest is
“ when a man lias the power to do certain ac
tions so to possess certain things, according to
the law of the laud.” This power is taken away
and he is divested of his vested rights secured
by the law of the land, aud the Constitution of
the couutry by this Test Oath Act, and it is
therefore void as militating against the Constitu
tion which declares, as already noticed, that no
one shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law.
Fourth proposition. This is an ex post facto
law, and the Constitution expressly prohibits
Congress from passing an ex post facto Jaw.
What is an ex post facto law? Making an act
punishable which was not punishable at the time
of its commission is ex post facto. See 1 Kent,
408 ; 3 Bell, 386; 6 Craneli, 138. What is tlie
crime charged ? What the act committed? which,
bv this running contrivance of a test oath, seeks
to disclose and punish. Not treason. That is
punished by impeachment and trial by due pro
cess of law but for imagined offences,* supposed
misdemeanors, the natural emotions of humanity,
the sympathies of a father whose son was from
home and suffering, these are the offenses, and
the refusal to take an oath is made the evidence
of guilt, and his property taken without trial and
for supposed offences which hnd no legal penalty'
attached to their commission.
The law therefore is rx post facto, clearly for
bidden by the constitution, and consequently in
operative and void.
Before the act of January, 1865, there was no
Jaw which forfeited the property of the attorney
in its office or its emoluments for crime, and if
there had been, it could only have been enforced
by due process of law.
In conclusion, the gentleman made a forcible
appeal, which, as we are not able to do justice
to in this report of the proceedings, we shall not
attempt. We have only given an imperfect
sketch of the line of argument gathered from
imperfect notes, our object being simply to grati
fy our readers who are interested in the question.
Governor Ai.i.en gives this advice in his
new paper, the Mexican Times : “ To our friends
in Griffin and Atlanta, Georgia ; in Jersey' City,
Mississippi; in Montgomery, Alabama; in Day-
ton, Ohio; and in New Orleans, Louisiana- -we
say to come to Mexico immediately, if you have
any money. Even a small capital will answer.
The t*est bargains in land ami stock can now lie
had for cash—a small portion for cash and the
balance on long time. To lie plain and candid:
if you have no money don’t come; stay where
you are until you can accumulate some.”
We clip the foregoing from an exchange. As
much as we sympathise with those of our late
fellow-citizens, who have expatriated themselves
because of the results of the late war, and who
now dwell in foreign lands, we trust that no one
who owes his first duty to the laud of his birth,
and that of his fellow-countrymen, to his friends,
and his relations, as Southern men do to theirs,
whether he has, or has not money, will be tempt
ed to desert, or be deluded into a desertion of it
and theirs. For the poor man, the South is a
The Credit ot Georg I*.
Y e see it stated in a telegraphic dispatch that
at a meeting in London of bondholders of the
State of Georgia, it was resolved that the offer of
the State to refund the coupons and over due
bonds into a new debt, carrying seven per cent,
interest, be accepted. This prompt acceptance
of the offer of our State, on the part of its for
eign creditors, speaks well for its credit abroad,
however extended the efforts may be to discredit
it in Northern financial circles, by, up to a very
recent period at least, a refusal to negotiate for
the bonds she has authorized to be put upon tlie
market save at a most outrageous discount for
“greenbacks.” Georgia has ever maintained a
high credit abroad and at home. She is perhaps
at the present time less encumbered with debt
than any State in, or out of tlie “Union,” if she
may be so considered by the South’s radical foes.
More than this, her resources, aside from taxa
tion, are not only more than abundant enough
to meet her liabilities, but they can be converted,
were it politic and wise to do so, into gold
more than sufficient in amount to relieve her
from all her liabilities. What other State, North
or South, can claim so much for itself ? In Lon
don this is well known to capitalists, and appre
ciated by them ; in the Nortli it is well known,
and were it not the fact, that a set ot malicious
and crazy politicians, iu the madness ol tlieir
ambition and thirst for power and place, stand
between the President and the work of recon
struction, Georgia Bonds would rate as high in
New r York or London as any other securities,
and command as ready' sale. We are proud of
our noble old commonwealth; proud ot the
statesmanship of her sons that has placed her
in so enviable a position; proud of the enter
prise and integrity of her people. Tiie time, wc
trust, will soon come, when her securities in Eu
rope and America will attain the point they' had
reached before the war, aud he sought after as
they' then were, not as stocks thrown upon the
market to be speculated upon, but as permanent
investments by' capitalists, for it is fact that they
had reached that point, and had been withdrawn
from the financial markets on this and the other
side of the Atlantic.
Tlie Destruction of Valparaiso.
There is considerable speculation in the coun
try' now' as to W'hat will be the final result of the
recent bombardment of Valparaiso by' tlie Span
ish fleet. The entire press of the North de
nounce it as an outrage unparalelled in history,
having, of course, forgotten about the little affair
at Charleston ! The total loss sustained at Val
paraiso is estimated at twenty millions dollars. A
correspondent of the New York Herald say's
that there is scarcely a mercantile house in that
city' which has not suffered more or less, and the
writer gives a few' of the American firms who
are involved in the ruin. Among these are
Alsop & Co., of New York, damaged to tlie
amount of $35,000; Laninan, Kemp & Co., of
New York, $4,000; Hememway & Co., and
Loring& Co., of Boston, the former $.'>0,000, and
the latter $25,000. England and our country
had fleets in the harbor at the time this outrage
was perpetrated by r the Spanish forces, adequate
ly powerful to have suppressed the bombard
ment altogether, but by some misunderstanding
or timidity they never budged an inch—except to
take positions from whence the*’effects of the
Spanish shot and shell could be better observed—
to prevent the wanton destruction of life and
property. Commodore Rogers of our navy has
made an official report of the matter to Wash
ington. He excuses himself upon the ground
that the English Admiral declined to interfere,
and that lie did not feel authorized to take the
entire responsibility. French and English inter
ests, in the shape of goods, deposited in the Cus
tom House, against which the Spanish guns
were particularly directed, suffered more than
American; and it remains to be seen in what
way the authorities of those nations will receive
this act of Her Catholic Majesty’s Admiral. Com
modore Rodgers admits that with the iron-clad
Monadnock he could have silenced the Spanish
guns and sunk their vessels out of sight. It is
hard to say, just at this time, what the feeling is
at the capital about this matter, or w hat sort of
diplomacy will grow out of it; but one thing is
certain, the American people will enjoy no grat
ification at the course pursued by their naval
commander.

Tlie Proeaamme of the Directory.
By' the “Directory” is meant the Sumner-Ste-
vens clique now directing the legislation of Con
gress, and planning the approaching political
canvass. It is termed the “Central Directory,”
whose one great thought, a spicy Western paper
—the Milwaukie News—tells us, “above all others
is how they shall perpetuate their power, and
benefit themselves”—truth, eveiy word of it.—
The programme of this Directory, the same pa
per states, is stated to be as follows:
1; To exclude the Southern States from rep
resentation till after the Presidential campaign.
2. To exclude the entire Southern vote for Pres-
dent and Vice President, upon the precedent es
tablished by Congress in the last election.
3. If the Southern and Northern democratic
vote together should elect a President, to be pre
pared to resist that election by a new rebellion.
4. To nominate none but thoroughly radical
candidates; to avoid all doubtful men, and espe
cially men of “democratic antecedents,” aud to
go before the country' on negro suffrage, negro
superiority, Southern territorialization and radi
cal centralization.
Wliat a programme! How’ selfish, and how
uujust! How' unstatesmanlike, and how unpa
triotie! How revolutionary, and how destruct
ive to the “ Union” in all its tendencies! No des
potism that could be imposed upon the nation,
could be worse than this. Tlie red republicans
of France, red as and from the blood that flowed
from the guillotine iu the days of their power,
sought for no more than just such power and just
such supremacy' to exercise power. History re
peats itself now, in the assumptions and designs
of this Central Directory. That it will repeat
itself, in their success, may Providence avert!—
The more than unnatural conflicts between tbe
North and South that have already taken place,
the oceans of blood that have been shed, the re
sult ot these conflicts—ought they not to suffice ?
Will mad ambitiou, strife for place and power,
the hatred of sections, never cease ? Must “rule
or ruin” be still the motto of the South’s enemies ?
Have they not yet been glutted in their triumphs
over us ? Shall we have no justice extended to
us ? Must we be slaves in every political sense
to such a despotism ? We solemnly utter our
protest against the designs of this “Directory,”
and appeal to the right-thinking conservative
men ot the North to save the country from the
terrible calamity that would befall it, in the event
that success should attend the designs of those
leaders of the radicals, who have assumed to give
direction to the future policy of the government.
Is the South “a dog” that it should submit to such
as they would inflict ?

FROM OCR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
Memphis, Tenn., May 8, I860.
I had just mailed my letter of May 1st, when
tidings reached us in the interior of tlie city of
a disturbance between the police and negroes in
the extreme Southern portion, which has been
the subject of so many wilfully perverted and
exaggerated telegrams for the past week, that I
have regretted since that the occurrence hap
pened at too late an hour for me to have inclu
ded a calm and truthful account of it. Even,'
one of these dispatches, telegraphed from this
and other points, that I have seen, are so sensa
tional that truth was lost sight of in their getting
up. Even some of our local press have exceed
ed the bounds of reason in their descriptions of
the affair. It is impossible to get at tlie truth of
its immediate origin, but'the fact soon became
apparent that it was the result of a concocted
scheme on the part of the negroes*!o rob and
murder, and even make themselves masters ot
the city. A regiment of negro troops, who had
been quartered for some time past at Fort Pick
ering, were paid off and mustered out of service
April 80, and being thus suddenly freed from re
straint, after imbibing quantities of bad whisky
during the day, were well prepared for attempt
ing to carry out the hellish designs which they
had been engendering for months past, on the
evening of May 1st, Th$ police, assisted by a
few citizens, however, were fully equal to the
unexpected emergency, and after a few hours ot
pretty earnest fighting, the negroes were driven
into the Fort, when the r&l disturbance, or riot
as it has been called, ended. Under cover of the
Fort they kept up a desbftory firing at passers
by for the ensuing two dsr.'s, which effected no
thing more than to add tdbAlie number of sensa
tional reports. One firemP^one policeman and
ten negroes at the outSfr^ *ere all that were
killed; as many more wounded, but none
mortally. As is usual in incH cases, we have to
condemn several acts of/lawlessness that were
committed. Under the Excitement several in
nocent negroes were shot down in different parts
of the city, and on the night of May 2, a negro
church and two or three'Manties were burned.
Tlie Post, a radical sheet, 1b the only city paper
that has taken the part of the negroes. That
was to be expected, however, as it is paid to do
so, being supported by subscriptions among
those of that party at the^Nortli. From it we
learn that the whole batch of Yankee preachers
and school teachers took-the first boat up the
river—we hope, never to return. “A guilty con
science needs no accuser,” is admirably verified
in this action on their part. In fact, they have
made their guilt so apparent, that they cannot
blame us for denouncing them as the principal
instigators to this unhappy disturbance. General
Stoneman, commanding this district, has taken
the matter in hand, and $as appointed a com
mission, consisting of three,United States officers
and one citizen—General M. J. Wright, who is
well known to the citizens of Atlanta—to inves
tigate the whole affair, in another week we
hope to see it thoroughly sifted and justice done
both parties.
The river has reached its highest, and is now
slowly falling, without doiqg any further damage.
At this point it did not reach as high a point as
was expected from tlie accounts from above,
where at some places it came within a lew incl
of the great flood of 1859, ,qgfi no damage was
done in this immidiate vicinity. The number of
boats to be seen at our wharves is becoming
painfully less every day, and those that are run
ning are hardly paying expenses. A party who
arrived here Thursday on their way to New Or
leans remained over Frida^d^ Saturday on the
lookout for a New Q-ykna packet, then
were compelled to take a Vicksburg boat.
The Germans had a grand procession and pic
nic yesterday. The procession as it passed up
Main street was a magnificient spectacle, and
attracted the attention of our entire population.
The Geimans are behind no nation in their ap
preciation of true enjoyment, and go into such
things with a zest that is very commendable.
We have had little rain in the past week, and
the weather is becoming quite warm and sultry.
Gardens are flourishing, and we are having an
abundance of nearly all the different varieties of
vegetables. The bad water, liow'ever, continues,
but with some prospect of that draw-back to liv
ing here being remedied. The subject of water
works is now demanding the attention of our
citizens. J. B. L.

Loulsyille Market.
The Courier of Saturday morniDg says “ the market
was again excited for both breadstuff's and provisions,
consequent in part upon the upward tendency of the East
ern markets, together with a speculative inquiry. Our
market, however, does not keep pace with the advances
elsewhere, and prices here continue to rule at less rates
than at either Cincinnati or New York.
The meeting at the Board of Trade wa3 full, and all
parties exhibited much interest in the dispatches, which
were still very highly favorable for breadstuff’s and pro
visions. The demand for Hour is active, with an upward
tendency for the higher grades, which are the most sought
for, while common superfine is neglected. The stock of
low grade flour is in excess of other descriptions and rules
dull to-day, being in no export demand. Holders of mess
pork have advanced their rates, and some holders are
asking $32 for June delivery. The sales quoted yesterday
at $30 50 should have read $30, the actual figures, but one
would sell at the higher rate to-day. A lot of 130 barrels,
Chicago packing, was sold at $30 75, the prevailing rate
for citv packed being $31, with no stocks pressing on the
market. A lot of 120,000 pounds bulk clear sides changed
hands at 16#c, a round lot of bacon, sides, Eold at 10#c.
Some 400 barrels extra flour Bold on ’Change at $9@9 65.
There is a steady and large demand for wheat, with r
very meager supply from the country,the millers recevin;
the bulk of their stock from Chicago. Prime white old
or new, would command $2 2o@2 50 per bnshel on ar
rival. . . , .

S\ MPATHY FROM NORTH CAROLINA.—The fol
lowing letter appears in the Southern papers:
Fortress Monroe. April 22,1S66.
Mrs. J. K. Kyle, Fayetteville, X. C.:
My Dear Madam.—I have the honor to
acknowledge yours of the 14th insL, inclosing a
check to be forwarded to .Mrs. Davis, as a present
from the ladies of Fayetteville.
Sadly remembering how your homes were deso
lated during the war, I could not have expected
you, in the midst of ruin, to have been mindful
of those at a distance. Nothing could add to
my Admiration for the heroism and virtues of
ray couutrywomeu, for the measure was full to
overflowing, nor could anything increase the
gratitude with which I will ever recur to their
confidence and sympathy. It only remains to
assure you and the ladies whom y ou represent
that I am, most gratfully and respectfully, your
friend and obedient servant,

The Sword of Cromwell.
With pleasure we insert the following from
our brother of the South Carolinian.
It appears that at the capture ol Columbia,
S. C., by r Sherman’s army, there was lost an arti
cle of great antiquity, and highly treasured by
South Carolina Masons as a relic of a great man
and of the past :
This was the famous sword of state, called
among our Masons, “ The Cromwell Sword,” and
commonly believed among them to have been
once possessed by the Lord Protector of Eng
land. We draw attention to the fact of the loss
and to the descriptive particulars which follow,
in the hope that public attention being drawn
to its history, it may be recovered, drawn from
some obscure hiding-place, and restored to the
Grand Lodge of South Carolina, to which it be
longed.
“This antique weapon was a subject of pecu
liar interest as a relic, rather than for its use and
beauty. Its histoiy is given by Dalcho in his
Masonic reader.
It was a large, once elegant, and curious two-
tdged weapon, in a rich velvet scabbard, highly
ornamented with Masonic emblems, and with
tbe anus of the Grand Master. It had been pre
sented to the Grand Lodge by the Provincial
Grand Master, after the installation of the grand
officers; was given as a consecrated sword, and
received with reverent assurances to keep it
safely, so far as human effort could accord safety.
The weapon had been long in the possession of
the Grand Master’s family, and was said to have
once belonged to Oliver Cromwell, a legend to
which some degree of probability may be given,
from the fact that the Provincial Grand Master
was a descendant of Sir Edward Leigh, who was
a member of the Long Parliament and a Parlia
mentary general in the time of the Protector,;
from whom, perhaps, he received it.
“The farther history of this sword may as well
be given here. From the time of the presenta
tiou it continued in the possession of the Grand
Lodge, and was borne by the Grand Sword
Bearer, or in later times, the Grand Pursuviant,
in all public processions. At length, at the con
flagration, which in the year 1838 destroyed so
large a portion of the city of Charleston, and with
other buildings the Masonic hall, the sword was
with great difficulty saved by brother Samuel
Seyle, the Grand Tiler, with the loss of the hilt,
the scabbard, and a small part of the extremity
of the blade. In the confusion consequent by
the fire, the sword thus mutilated was mislaid,
and for a long time was supposed to be lost. In
1852 a committee was appointed by the Grand
Lodge to make every exertion for its recovery,
and at length, in the beginning of the year 1854,
it was accidentally found by the Grand Tiler in
an outhouse on his premises, and was by him re
stored to the Grand Lodge in its mutilated con
dition. The lost piece of the blade was ingeni
ously replaced by a cutler in the city of Charles
ton, and being sent to New York, was returned
with new hilt and velvet scabbard, aud was used
in its appropriate place during the centenial cer
emonies of that year.
“With such a history', aud blended with such
a tradition ot its origin, we need not feel sur
prised at the universal and keen feeling occa
sioned by' its loss.”
