Mr. Steven* Talking: Ont.
Tliat most excellent journal, the New York
Journal of Commerce, commenting upon Mr.
Stevens' late letter to “ Col. Samuel Schock ”—
In which lie was forced for once to tell the truth
and admit the power of the President to remove
any or all of the military satraps of the Southern
military districts—says: “ Mr. Stevens becomes
bitter as picra, as he proceeds to denounce “con
servatism." He says he never understood the
meaning of that word until he read a speech
“ made by an Ohio Senator at Canton,” which
he took to be a definition of the doctrine, and,
if so, “ conservatism ’’ was something “ very
alarming—worse thao copperheadism." The
speech to which he alludes was made by Sena
tor Sherman, (one of the Senators who were
active in defeating the Stevens proviso,) at Can
ton, Ohio, on the 20th instant. We have gone
over it carefully, and find nothing in it about
conservatism or justifying Mr. Stevens’ sarcasm,
excepting that its tone is decent and moderate
compared with that of the Pennsylvania cynic;
that it advocates only the “temporary exclusion”
.<>f former rebels from political rights; that it
«ioes not favor confiscation, and pronounces the
siational debt a sacred obligation; whereas Mr.
Stevens believes in confiscation and repudiation.
And those sentiments, representing, as Mr. Ste-
vefte says, “conservatism,” arc worse, in his
opinion, than “copperheadism.” We are glad
to learn that the author of those ingenuous ut
terances is able to sit up, after a severe and tedi
ous illness. Long may he live to write letters
whose frankness shall contribute to undo some
of the mischief which he and men like him have
infiictcd upon the country.”
It is well for the country, however ill it is for
it that such men as Mr. Stevens have influence
to direct its affairs, that there is a reckless bold
ness in the nature of the man, which occasion
ally prompts “Old Tiiad.” to show his hand and
expose his game. That he is for both confisca
tion and repudiation, and will endeavor to lcrce
both upon the country should his “guardian
devil” permit him to enter again the halls of
Congress, is no longer a matter of doubt. And
we again aver that it is well for the country that
11 bis fact is made known to the people—to the
.-unfortunate South as well as to the fortunate
..North. What a time we shall have of it, when
.the Radical Congress shall proceed to confiscate
•Southern property, and repudiate the debt of the
mation! “We shall then see what we shall see,”
t be sight of which will be more terrible than “an
army with banners.”
General Thomas on khcrldan’s Removal.
The Rochester Union, commenting on the
statement that “ General Thomas is opposed to
Sheridan's removal,” pertinently says: “ W hat
business has General Thomas or any other gene
ral of the army to be either opposed to or in fa
vor of Sheridan’s removal, or to put forth any
opinion on the subject V It is one of the worst
features of Andrew Johnson’s administration that
he has permitted the officers of the army, in mat
ters pertaining to military discipline and civil
affairs, to act as if it were the province of each
to pass upon the orders of his superiors, and as
if it were the province of all to sit in caucus
upon such orders. If Jehnson will now put
these epauletted gentlemen through such a course
as will bring them back to a sense of their true
position under the Government, he will reform
an abuse which is threatening the very existence
of civil government These military gentlemen
must be taught that they are in peace subordinate
to the civil arm—that it is their duty to obey,
and not to question orders. It is a sad commeu-
iary on the complexion to which things have
come at last, when the attention of the entire
press and people of the country is centered upon,
Bud their pens and tongues are discussing the
propriety of » trausfci or officers by the Com-
msflddr-in'Chkf—a proceeding which should not
attract the attention of the public in the least,
and which, if attended by a murmur on the part
of any subordinate, should be lollowed by court
martial, aud such punishment as insubordination
demands, if military discipline is to be maintain
ed.”
The time was when the course suggested in
the closing sentence of the foregoing paragraph,
reference to subordinates of the United States
Anny, who dared to murmur at any order of
their Commander-in-Chief, would have been pur
sued and puniahment forthwith awarded; but
this is a new era in which those “who live, and
move, and have their being” understand liberty
to mean license and so far as authority extends
to be confined not to the tuperior in office, but to
exteud over to the subordinate. Congress denies
to the President bis constitutional prerogatives,
why may not Gen. Thomas rail at his Comman
der-in-chief, 01 Gen. Sheridan dispute his author
ity?
Tub War of the Red Noses.—A Nash
ville correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial speaks of onr little Radical muss here
as ’tbs warot the roses.” It is certainly quite
odorous ; and we’ll not dispute about tastes.
The same correspondent says every one knows
or ought to know that tlieie is really as much
difference between Brownlowisin and National
KeDublic&nism, as is found between a counterfeit
and genuine shinplaster. This is but poor con-
solaUou to us, as both pass very readily in this

NashziUe Gazette.
The Treaaurjr Department.
The administration of the Department of the
Treasury, under Mr. McCulloch, has given
general satisfaction to the country. The finan
cial problem which presented itself for our solu
tion in 1864, was difficult and perplexing. The
ablest statesmen here and abroad were appalled
at the magnitude of our debt, the uncertainty of
our credit, and the possible failure of onr resour
ces for taxation. Mr. McCulloch found the ta-
l.l.-s of his office loaded with unpaid requisitions
for hundreds of millions of dollars, and the army
was to be paid off as fast as disbanded and the
interest on the public debt, and the vastlv in
creased ordinary expenditures of the government
to be provided for. But in an incredibly brief
time the requisitions were met, and the army
paid, aud the debt brought under a process of
reduction.
a® to the currency. It was a vital ques
tion whether it should be reduced or increased
in volume; opinions fluctuated upon that sub
ject. Congress changed its declarations of policy
in regard tint with amazing facility, following
tjie shifting indications of public feeling. The
Secretary may, perhaps, have modified his own
views since the Fort Wayne speech was deliv
ered ; but he has settled upon a line of policy
which the country understands and approves.
It will secure us from further inflation, and from
sudden and and disturbing contraction.
It belongs to the present Secretary to sastain
and carry through his financial system. But a
change of system now would be as hazardous as
“swapping horses while fording a river.” The
apprehension of a change of measures, following
a change of ministers, would be destructive of
that confidence which is so necessary for our
permanent prosperity, and which we’ are now
slowly recovering.
The coming long session of Congress will be
occupied with the consideration of the question
of taxation; and it is known that Mr. McCul
loch will present an improved system, which
will, if adopted, greatly promote the interests of
the country.
We have heretofore mentioned also that the
Secretary has devised a mode by which the eva
sions ot the internal revenue and other duties
will be prevented. Thus far he has beeD eminent
ly successful in this object, by means of the Me
tropolitan Revenue Commission, his estab
lishment of which met with pertinacious and
vehement opposition from Radicals in Con
gress, and thieves everywhere. The combi
nation formed by parlies interested in de
frauding the revenue of the whisky tax to the
amount, annually, of sixty millions or more
will not dare to labor for the removal of Mr.
McCulloch from the Treasury. They can well
afford to pay scores of millions for it. But there
is, in New York and elsewhere, another and yet
more atrocious conspiracy for the destruction.of
public credit, by false representations of Treasu
ry frauds, and new issues of bonds. The con
spirators design to run up gold by their machi
nations, and to break down the credit of United
States bonds, now steady and advancing in Eu
rope. They may, in case of immediate retire
ment, produce a panic in the money market, and
enhance the gqld premium to the highest war
rates. They might deluge every market with
our returned securities, aud produce a genera!
commercial and financial revolution, which
would be profitable to them, but most disastrous
to the country.—National Intelligencer.
Mortalitt Among the Negroes—North
ern Philanthropy, etc.—Speaking of the in
crease and decrease of population suggests the
idea that it would be in order to ask the Radical
majority in Congress to institute Inquiry as to
the number of negroes who have died since they
were taken under the care and protection of the
Federal Government 1 have heard the number
estimated at half a million. Some contend that
ihese figures are too high, others that they are
too low. Now, as it is well known that no ac
count was kept of the number of negroes who
died, the only way in w : ich the fact could be
ascertained would be to have the census of the
colored population of all the Southern States
taken. That the mortality of the black popula
tion was much larger after it was freed than ever
before known, even in times of epidemic, is a
well settled fact. Major PlumJev, who was for
a time connected with the Freedmen’s Bureau in
this State, reported that among the colored yonth
under his special care the mortality was thirty-
four per cent, and that, too, when no fatal epi
demic prevailed. Another government officer,
whose duty it was to look after abandoned es
tates, reported that on two plantations in a neigh
boring parish the mortality had exceeded one-
half the slave population, in less than two years
after the Federal troops had invaded this State.
The majority of these deaths were the result of
neglect and want. They were not provided with
the food to. which they had been accustomed,
and, when "attacked with disease, they did not
.receive proper care and attention. In plain
English, they fell victims.—Cor. Chicago limes
The Freedmeu’s Bureau.
Since Stanton has been kicked out of the War
Department, and access could be had to official
records, many unpleasant things have transpired
about the “ Freedmen’s Bureau,” its Chiet and
his subs.
It is confidently asserted that Uriah Heap
Howard, who has been handling more money
than was justly due him, will shortly go into re
tirement, and the National Intelligencer says:
“ The proof is being prepared of an amount of
fraud and corruption aud gross abuse, for politi
cal purposes, of the institution entitled the
Freedmen’s Bureau, that will astound the peo
ple, who relying upon the high character and
Christian reputation of its distinguished chief,
have been unwilling to bel eve that its sub
ordinates were everywhere, not only here, but
wherever its ramifications extend, making it the
pretext for wholesale frauds upon both the tax
payers of the country and upon the freedmen
themselves, and using its machinery and dis
bursing its appropriations for the basest partisan
political purposes. We speak advisedly.”
The people of this country cannot be astound
ed at anything that may be proven on the Freed-
1 lien’s Bureau. They have seen, heard and felt
too much ofit to be astounded at anything emana
ting from it. One thing is certain, however, viz:
that no matter how prolonged and rigid the in
vestigation into the management ot this most
abominable and iniquitous putrescence, the
world will still remain in ignorance of nine-
tenths of the fraud, cruelty and injustice perpe
trated by it upon the helpless victims, black
and while, unfortunately cast within the circle
of its operations.—Columbus Sun.
The Radical. Jocrnals on the Cabinet
Changes at Washington.—The radical jour
nals are obviously at a loss as to what to say of
the Cabinet changes at Washington. In their
perplexity they scrupulously and timidly avoid
direct attacks upon General Grant, and content
themselves with reiterating their abusive charges
against President Johnson. But they persist in
ignoring the fact that the removal of Mr. Stan
ton, and even the removal of General Sheridan,
and other commanding generals, involve only a
change of men, and not of measures. There is
no issue involved in any of these changes, ex
cept the prospective one of such an interpreta
tion of the reconstruction measures adopted by
Congress as may prevent the disastrous conse
quences of the establishment of a negro and
Puritan domination. This issue will be submit
ted to the people of the United States, and if the
citizens of Ohio and Pennsylvania in their next
elections decide against a domination of the pie
bald complexion, we shall have little doubt as
to the ultimate result.—N. T. Herald.
Defeat of United States Troops by In
DIans.—A dispatch from Fort Hays, Kansas,
dated 23d, says a courier had just arrived from
Captain Ames with dispatches to Captain Corbin
to the effect that Ames hud a severe battle with
800 Indians, under Satanie, on the Republican
river. Their village was two miles long. Cap
tain Ames charged twice through their wigwams,
The savages fought desperately, killing three of
our men" and wounding twenty-five. Thirty
horses were lost. The Indians lost heavily, but
finally repulsed our troops, who were compelled
to leave their dead on the field.
Tkere was an immense amount of stolen stock
in tiie Indian village. The savages surrounded
our troops, and the fight lasted three days. Two
of the men killed belonged to the Kansas cavalry
and the other to the 12th regulars. Captain
Ames had 125 men. A strong force, under Major
.Elliott, and some Kausas cavalry, under Major
“Moore, leave for the Indian village in light march
iug order this morning. A severe battle is anti
cipated. We have not enough troops here.
Curiosities of the Paris Exhibition.
The mere lounger at the Paris Exhibition, who
wishes to amuse himself by sights, without spe
cial reference to classification of objects of art
and science, will never be at a loss. Some of
the curiosities attracting attention are mentioned
in a late letter of the London Star's correspon
dent. He first speaks of Leboyer’s process for
printing without ink :
“You have but to write down your name and
address, and in less than one minute you will be
handed one hundred visiting cards.” ” This card
printing machine can throw off upwards of one
million cards in a day.
Another curiosity of quite a different ?iature
is the head of an Indian chief, exhibited by the
Republic of the Equator. This head is no big
ger than a child’s fist. The secret ot the pro
cess by which it was reduced to this size is
known only to the savage tribes of that part of
the world. The features are in a wonderful state
ot preservation. From the orifice of the mouth
hang several strings indicating the number of
heads cut oft by the possessor of this one. This
honorable distinction is only granted to the chief
of a tribe. Another curious head which en
gages much notice is that of an Indian in which
is buried the foot of a stag. The exhibitor him
self makes no claim to solve the mystery.
An enormous ton is exhibited which goes be
yond the capacity of the famous Heidelburg
cask, and is destined to contain more than twen
ty thousand gallons. It is encircled by no less
than 28 iron hoops; its length is 18 feet, and its
diameter 20 feet.
M. Latour’s shoe manufactory is a decided cu
riosity in its way. A pair of shoes, costing about
a dollar and three-quarters, will be made here in
forty-five minutes. All his slippers, shoes and
boots are manufactured more or less by machine
ry—the raw materials being cut out by means of
parting machines, or cutting out machines, of
various kinds. Shoemaking in Paris is now di
vided iuto three classes: sewn boots and shoes,
those put together by pegs or nails, and those
manufactured by means of screws. Paris alone
produces boots and shoes to the amount of $20,-
000,000. The provinses also contribute largely
to this trade,and about $8,000,000 worth ot boots
and shoes are exported. The sewing machine
is very generally used for putting together the
upper leathers.
Passiug from the covering of the feet to that
of the head, one may witness the fabrication of
a felt hat. In less than fifty minutes workmen
are now able to transform the fur ot a rabbit into
a very decent and respectable hat. France alone
supplies rabbit and hare skins to the amount of
$14,000,000 per annum, and exports $7,000,000
worth. The manufacture of hats alone, not
taking into consideration various kinds of caps,
amounts to the sum of $4,800,000 out of which
$2,000,000 worth of felt and $400,000 worth of
silk hats are exported.
The President, Grant, and Sheridan.—
The correspondence, in another column of the
Express, will be read with interest. It shows
just how prompt Gen. Grant was to act in be
half of Sheridan—and perhaps this will pacify
the Radical enemies of Gen. Grant,—and also
how prompt the President was to maintain his
own authority. The reasons of the latter for
removal, we submit, are unanswerable, both on
the score of Gen. Sheridan’s unfitness for the
place, and the fact that a man of better temper
and as good abilities would be selected to suc
ceed him, and on account of the effect of such
an appointment upon the well disposed people
of the State of Texas and Louisiana. If there
were not remaining on our little spot of earth
and water, as “good fish as swim in the sea, ’
it only Gen. Sheridan was the right man in the
post of military commander in the Filth Military
District, then, indeed, there might be some rea
son for the clamor raised by Sheridan's friends,
but the President shows and proves that there
are just as wise and brave men in the service,
just as good friends of the policy of reconstruc
tion, as Gen. Sheridan. We do not care to go
over the reasons of the President, but they will
commend themselves to almost everybody, ex
cept the impeachers and screachers against the
Executive. The great fault with President
Johnson is, that he acts too late. His long de
liberation lias been that of a man who, alter
knowing what is right, hesitates lor a long
time in the performance of duty. The old
practice of Crockett was the true one :
“I leave this rule for others when I’m dead.
Be sure you're right, then go ahead/'
York Express.

A radical organ calls President Johnson
“the Great Impediment.” Radicalism needs a
great impediment, and we wish that the Presi
dent were a much greater one than he is.—

A Memphis Merchant in an Awkward
Fjx.—To render assistunce to any lady traveling
without a protector, is an impulse of every true
gentleman, and one worthy ot being carried out.
Yet it is not at all times safe to do so, says the
Memphis Post, as a merchannt of Memphis, re
cently learned by finding himself in rather an
awkward fix. He was traveling by railroad in
the North, aud at Jeffersonville,;iudiana, where
the passengers changed cars, a woman approach
ed him while he was standing on the platform,
and, judging by his benevolent countenance
that he had the milk of human kindness in his
composition, requested him to hold her baby till
she attended to her baggage. The Major assumed
charge of the child, and being the father ot a fami
ly and having had experience with children
had no difficulty in keeping it quiet. The
woman went in search of her baggage. Some
considerable time elapsed, find she did not re
turn. The locomotive gave a warning whistle,
preparatory to starting, and our frieud was still
encumbered with his charge, with no prospect
of reliel. He was in a dilemma. At this criti
cal juncture of affairs he espied the woman who
had committed the precious charge to his care,
at some distance off, proceeding trom the depot
at a rapid pace. Hurriedly asking the conduc
tor to delay the train a few moments, he follow
ed the woman, overtook her, and handed her
the infant, saying quietly, “Madam, here is your
baby.” “Oh, dear 1” said she, “I thought my
sister was taking care of it!” Relieved of his
burden, the Major returned to the train in time
to get aboard, conscious of kind intentions, but
of having fortunately escaped from a very awk
ward predicament.
Cholera on the Plains.—A private letter
from near Fort Hays, Kausas, dated August 20,
says: “The cholera has been the scourge of the
plains this summer, and it seems strange that it
should ever become an epidemic here, the air
being so pure, and so many square miles of it.”
One company of cavalry at that place lost twenty-
one ir.en by cholera, and thus far eighty men
have died by disease at that post.
lately domiciled at Mount Pleasant, departed
this life yesterday after a tew hours’ illness, oc
casioned by a dropsy of the heart. The deceased
was identified in past years in a b isiuess capacity
with the houses ot Wiley, Banks & Co., Kerri-
son & Leiding, James Adger & Co., and other
establishments of well-known influence in this
mercantile community, and by his energetic at
tention to their interests and his high probity
and usefulness had won an enviable place in the
regards of his associates. His obsequies will be
performed at Mount Pleasant to-day.—Charles
ton Courier, 29th instant.
A Ttue Portraiture of Congress.—A
correspondent of the London Telegraph, writing
from Washington, thus describes the Rump Con
gress *
I am reminded all the while of a low style of
pleading in court. I see before me a crowd of
third-rate lawyers, who are playing the old tricks
of the trade. 1 neve: heard a word that is des

The London Builder says that it people plant
ing orchards would give orders to mark the
north side of trees before they are taken up, and
when set out to have the trees put in the ground
with their north side to the North, iu their
natural position, a larger proportion, it is said,
would live, as ignoring this law of Nature is the
cause of many transplanted trees dying. If the
north side be exposed to the South, the heat of
the sun is too great for that side of the tree to
bear, therefore it dries up and decays.
A Rapid Woman.—The New Orleans Bee
says the mistress of an officer of the army, sai d
to be high in command, has, according to the
authority of the Times, run up millinery bills in
that city to his charge, while absent in Wash
ington, to the extent of twenty-five thousand
dollars. The officer denies all responsibilty in
the matter, and there may yet be a delectable
expose of the affair, as the modiste, it is said
threatens suit for her demands. The mistress
seems to have assumed more freedom than a
spouse, and to have been regarded by her dupes
as the officer’s wife. These are fast times.

Hilitiet District No. a |
H EADqcAXTXBS Vsdxh tbX Saddle, Aug. 30. j
Brecet Maj. Gen. John Pope, U. S. A.:
General—You doubtless remember the in
stance in Roman history growing ont of the de
moralization of the times of—where a Horse
was made Emperor. The historian, however,
has failed to state whether the horse thus honor
ed was a thoroughbred or of thf conestoga
breed; the inference is, therefore, that he was of
the latter stock inasmuch as his reign was brief
and not altogether brilliant Had the Romans
in those days known anything of the culture of
the cotton plant, and the usefulness of that do
cile hybrid whose father “spake” for Balaam,
doubtless the male would have been assigned to
duty as Emperor of Rome, instead of the horse,
for the reason, it is probable, that the lengthy ears
of the former would have increased his chances
for promotion and domination.
General—when you assumed command of
District No. 3, a little over three months ago,
the people were depressed, distressed, opposed,
and harrassed ; they thought, in the language of
St. Paul, that you had come “ to fetch a com
pass.” You were met beyond the borders of
your realm by some of your most willing apd
dutiful subjects, who, constituting themselves a
guard of honor, escorted you with safety
to Atlanta, the seat of empire. You were re
ceived with all that pomp and consideration due
a victorious chieftain returning to his people.
Yonr reception was like that of Grant and
Sherman in the “loyal” States after the close of
the late civil war. A grand ovation was given
you, and the friends of Pompey vied with, the
friends of Csesar in doing honor to your most
Congressional Highness. Toasts were drank,
and’speeches made, that should have sated the
appetite of the most fastidious. Sentiments were
expressed that ought to have mollified the feelings
of the most imperious and obdurate. The gratu-
lations were intensely filial. Nothing ruffled the
occasion save the remark of an official that he
hoped your enthusiastic subjects would return
home, bearing in mind that they “must again not
foreswear themselves.” This advice, momentarily,
was regarded as both ungracious and gratuitous;
but upon the whole proper and jndicious. Smiles
of adulation saluted you, and other manifesta
tions of sycophancy were made that should
have unarmed the most conceited Puritan and
gorged the vanity of the most inflated peacock
My dear General, from your thorough knowledge
of military history, both ancient and modern
you must be aware that such a reception was
never given by a defeated people to a foreign sa
trap. There was nothing like it in all history;
yet our impoverished and mourning people mur
mured not. Your reciprocal smiles and recorded
statements led the community at large to believe
that the administration of your unpleasant du
ties under the Sherman act, would be not only of
a respectful character, but simply of an execu
tive nature. That the unfortunate people of
District No. 3 were most sadly duped and
cruelly deceived, let the sequel answer.
Notwithstanding what has transpired in your
brief and despotic reign, the sentiment, until
recently, was, that you were the “cleverest and
most liberal of the Five Military Despots.”
The sentiment now is—if the other four, were
concentrated, with Schenck, Butler, Joe Holt,
and Stanton, in addition—the whole, would
make but a small and insignificant satrap com
pared to yourself. The mountain of Radical
ism has certainly been in laboi—and has in
deed brought forth a most ridiculous and in
finitesimal moase.
“An eagle in its pride of place
Was hawked at by a mousing owl
And killed”—
As a casual observer of passing events, we
are in duty bound to say, that there were many
in our midst whose suspicions and misgivings
were aroused at your many manifestations of
kindness and very marked condescension. Even
in this benighted region, the “GreekB bearing
presents” were regarded with distrust. That
distrust you must confess, my dear General,
was not altogether unfounded ; lor you had
scarcely established your picket line and
located your outposts, before “order No. one,” was
issued from “ these headquarters ” in which you
decreed that no civil officers should utter one
word in opposition to the acceptance of the Sher
man act. Soon yon demanded to know of the
Governor of Georgia, if he had seen your cele
brated decree “No. one.” You threatened that
distinguished functionary with instantaneous
annihilation if he should again dare ignore or
run counter to your Radical behests and most
Satanic prerogative. It was now believed that
the Trojan horse had gotten fully within the
walls of the city, and that “order No. one” was
the first armed Greek which had sallied forth.—
By degrees the mask has been laid aside; the
deception canonised; the gates ot the city

XKW YORK ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH AS
Wsskiagt.a OsMlg.
Washington, Sept. 1.—The recent order of
Gen. Grant, that district commanders will make
no appointments to civil office of persons who
j have been removed by themselves or their prede
cessors, does not make a new issue between the
President and General Grant. There is good
authority for asserting that the rumors of diffi
culty having arisen on this subject, are ground
less. The Reconstruction act vests in the Gen
eral commanding, the same powers that are con
ferred upon district commanders in regard to
removals and appointments, and therefore the
order ot Grant is merely considered as a notice
in advance that he would disapprove of soch ap
pointments as he indicates.

BY THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
A Noble Act.—General Grant has recently,
we see it stated, furnished guDS, swords, cannon,
caissons. Ac., for the,use of the cadets of the
“ Virginia Military Institute,” over which Gen- ’
eral Lee presides, and he has also restored to the
Institute the old “Cadet Battery,” which had
been taken from it Governor Letcher has pub
licly thanked General Grant for these favors,
and the Virginians in general, it is said, are great-
y pleased with such an act of courtesy.
Black and White Voters in Georgia.—It
is stated the returns of the registration of voters
in Georgia, which have been nearly completed,
indicate that instead of about thirty thousand
white majority, as was expected, the blacks will
have a small majority, probably not exceeding
two thousand votes. It was expected that the
whites would have a majority of at least twenty-
five thousand, after a full registration; but it
seems that the disfranchisement consequent upon
the reconstruction acts has been more extensive
than was anticipated.
tion have outraged and insulted the dying liber
ties of a proud .and gallant people. The fear of
Bell"says the poet—
“ Is the'hangman’s whip,
To hold the wretch in order.”
The people of District No. 3, with that Chris-
tion and forgiving spirit which has ever charac
terised them, were willing to overlook, without
remonstrance or protest, many grievances in
flicted by your usurping hands. They knew,
however, your weakness for official orders,
grandiloquent war bulletins, and victorious dis
patches ; but such was the desire of your sub
jects for a restored and harmonious Union, that
they endured all which is despicable to the
Southron, cherishing the fond hope that the
scales ot persecution would soon fall from your
seared-like eyelids, uuwarmed by a genial sun
and glowing heart. Instead of acting the part
of an executive officer, as one sent to carry out
the law, you have become not only an ex
pounder of the law, but a law-maker. In you
are centered the Trinity of Radicalism.—
You are the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive
departments of three grand Southern Common
wealths. From your Teutonic castle on Marietta
street, “bull” alter “ball," and decree alter de
gree goes forth. In yonr brief reign these offi
cial mandates, toy dear General, have been al
most as numerous as the prisoners captured near
Corinth, Mississippi, but. less in number than the
battles won from Slaughter Mountain to Manas
sas Plains. Should yon remain in our midst, for
a few days, I propose in my next communication
to address myselt particularly and specifically to
that code of despotism and tyranny upon which
you have been so zealously and agreeably em
ployed. In the meantime, believe roe your most
dutiful and faithful sentiy, Banquo.

Mr. Editor: As good news is consoling to
those who love God, I will give your numeron s
readers an account of a series of meetings I have
just closed—held with three of the churches of
my charge. The second Saturday of this month,
I commenced a meeting with the Baptist church
at Fairburn, and continued eight days; fifty-
three were added to the church—about forty by
baptism. Went to Ramab, near Palmetto, con
tinued seven days, and thirty-one were added to
this church—over twenty by baptism. Brother
Daniel, from Newnan, was with me four days ;
may the Lord reward him for his labors of love.
Returned last Sabbath to Bethsaida, where I held
a meeting the last of July, and baptised four
others. One hundred and nineteen were added
at these three churches. To God be all the gloiy.

Negros* Not Permuted, to Run for the
Convention.
^ We notice the following in the Augusta Chron
icle & Sentinel of Friday morning last:
In a recent conversation which we had with
an agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and a coun
ty Registrar of this State, we were informed by
him that there would be no negroes in the Con
vention. We gave it as our opinion that there
would be quite a number, when he replied that
“he knew that there would not be one—that orders
had been sent out from Atlanta to all the counties
that negroes must not run this time, but wait until
the State was reorganized.”
This remark was made to us in tbe presence
of another gentleman, at the depot in Forsyth,
and, as we have stated, by a man who is a coun
ty registrar under the military bills and an agent
ot the Freedmen’s Bureau. Wegive it publicity
that the poor negroes may see to what extent the
mean whites are using and abusing them. These
Radicals pretend to be the only friends of the
negro in the State, and then arrange it among
themselves that they shall have all the offices, by
pretending to have orders issued forbidding the
negroes to enter the lists for position. How
long will the honest black people—those who
have intelligence and practice virtue—continue
to affiliate with these mean whites? We ask
the candid portion ot the colored men of this
city if the mean whites here have not already
told them that they must not aspire to hold of
fice ? Have not the colored people of Richmond
county been told by these “scaliwags” that “or
ders were out ” forbidding their running for of
fice?
, While the decent white people of the State
have and do discourage the black people, as a
class, from aspiring lor-official positions on the
ground that their previous condition and want
of education and intelligence, together with the
further fact that they have had no experience in
matters of State and no familiarity with the forms
of law and wants of the public, make them in
competent to act as law-uiakers or expounders.
We have met the colored people candidly and
frankly with the objections just seated; but no
respectable Conservative white unaa could so far
forget the obligations of honor and honesty as
to attempt to deceive the colored men by such a
wilful and deliberate falsehood as has been con
cocted by the Radical scaliwags. The black
people will very soon learn who are their truest
friends and counsellors.
We are inclined to believe that the ‘Registrar’
referred to in the foregoing, did so without au
thority from Headquarters. If, however, the
contrary be the case, then, indeed, the “black
people will very soon learn who are their truest
friends and best counsellors.”

The Conservative Meeting: in Colnmbnn.
The colored Conservatives of our city got up
quite a large meeting in the court house square
yesterday, and conducted it in a manner highly
creditable. John Wells, the chief manager of
the affair, displayed very good judgment and
tact in all the proceedings.
It was evident that many freedmen who bad
come to town to attend the meeting were per
suaded by some influence to keep aloof. Num
bers ot them took positions on or by the sides
of the brick wall, too far off to hear what was
said, but near enough to see whatever was gomg
on about the stand. It is also said that some ot
them acted badly on Friday evening, trying^ to
intimidate the colored speakers who had come
from a distance, and even giving intimations ot
disturbance by a row.
Notwithstanding this malign influence, a large
crowd, composed of both whites and blacks,
collected around the staud, and listened with
much interest to the several speeches made.
John Wells (colored) opened the meeting in a
speech of much shrewdness and good sense. We
did not think that “ it was in him,” to express
bis views with so much clearness and point.—
And his remarks, though sometimes faulty in
grammatical construction, proved that he had
applied good hard sense and an active mind to
the study of the political situation. John is en
gaged in a good work, and every good man ought
to cheer and sustain him.
The next speaker was Barney Hawkins, color
ed, who delivered his sentiments with much vim,
freedom and earnestness. Barney felt aggrieved
at the conduct of some radicals, white and black,
and he did not refrain from speaking his mind
to them with great plainness and vigor. We be
lieve that it was at his house (and he keeps one
of the best in the city) that the Tennessee visitors
were entertained, and he felt naturally indignant
at the radical demonstrations of malice towards
his guests. Everybody who knows Barney
knows him to be a true and honorable man, who
despises a mean action by either the white or
the black race.
Benjamin Holmes, a young colored barber ot
Nashville, followed. He is an educated young
man, and his speech evinced an active and culti
vated mind. Many of his bits were happily con
ceived and very just. He evidently lacks expe
rience as a speaker, but has in him the qualities
to make a good one.
Joseph E. Williams, the colored orator of Ten
nessee, made a speech that would do credit to a
practiced and well-instructed white political de
bater. He showed up radicalism in its frue
colors, and adduced many weighty reasons why
his race should reject the pernicious counsels of
that reckless party. His advice to the freedmen
to vote for a Convention, and at the same
time for the best and most reliable conservative
men, white and black, as delegates, if they were
permitted to do so; but il a military decree for
bids the election of colored delegates, then to
vote against a Convention. His speech was for
cible and argumentative, and was highly ap
plauded.
CoL Wm. L. Salisbury, being loudly called
for, gave the freedmen some excellent advice,
in a friendly way and by plain, practical illustra
tions.
He was followed by a young freedman whose
name we do not recollect, whose remarks show
ed that he had a correct notion of thq rights and
duties of his new relation as a freedman.
Rev. Aaron Hurt entertained tbe crowd for
some time with an unpolished bat sensible talk,
that showed him to be as good a man now as he
was when a slave. Aaron has no use for radi
calism or the white men who ran the machine.
A. R Lamr, Esq., in response to repeated calls,
appeared upon the stand, and was making a very
temperate aDd interesting speech, when a dis
turbance was made in the crowd and he brought
his remarks to a close, and the meeting adjourn
ed, to prevennexcitement. We understand that
the disturbance was caused by a soldier, who was
arrested by order of Captain Mills. Mr. Lamar
was about to wind up tbe speaking of tbe day
when this slight interruption occurred.
All tbe speeches were conservative and concil
iatory in their tone. Tbe great leading idea was
peace and good feeling between the whites and
blacks—an identity of political as well as ma
terial interests. We cannot help thinking that
the meeting was productive of good in the pro
motion of this feeling.
While Joe Williams was speaking he offered
a series of resolutions, which were adopted as a
platform of the Colored Conservative party of
Georgia. They declare for the Union of the
States; for equality of rights, without distinc
tion of race; for universal amnesty -and enfran
chisement; and for general pablic education.
