While the late Convention was entirely har monious in sentiment and the great object to be -ought after—the prevention ot radical govern ment over this State—there were one or two jKiinis on which there was considerable anima ted. yet well tempered discussion. The report of the Business Committee, as orig inally presented, contained a resolution recom mending the policy of non-action on the part ot the whites in the election on the question of rat ifying the Constitution to be formed and present ed by the Negro-Radical Convention. This proposition elicited forthwith an animated dis cussion, many of the members regarding the non action policy as fatal. The committee itself was divided on the question, some insisting that the only way to defeat the Constitution was by lighting it vigorously in the canvass and at the polls, whilst others considered the holding oil policy more effective, and were unwilling in any way to recognize the Convention or its action, even by voting against them. The sub ject was sent back to the Committee, who, in view of the fact that Congress might, during its piescnt session, make some amendment to the Iteconstruction acts that would make the ques tion ot policy clear, wisely referred the whole matter to the Central Executive Committee, who could watch the course of events, and as they transpired advise the people as to the best course to be pursued. This was entirely satisfactory to the Convention. The lifth resolution, or as it was originally re lit) r ted, wits also objected to by some who thought Its language w as so comprehensive as to include Conservatives who had been elected to the Re construction Convention, and by others because it reflected upon many good citizens in the North ern portion ot the State who were true Southern men in tlieir leelings, but went for the measures ot reconstruction as the best to be had. The gallant young delegate from Whitfield, Colonel A. very fought manfully for the peopled hissec- lion on this point. He was opposed to their views, hut knew they were honestly entertained, and would never consent to denounce them as traitors or criminals. He believed they were wrong, hut preferred to show them their error and persuade them to abandon it. The author „f the resolution disclaimed any intention to re flect ou individuals or to characterize them as criminals; his object was to oppose a measure which lie regarded ns both unlawful and crimi nal, and it was that which he wished to denounce. There could be no compromise on this question, tor it was the very gist of all our present troubles. A slight change in the phraseology of the resolu tion removed the objection entirely, or so modi tied it that the entire Convention could compro mise upon it without sacrifice of policy or prin ciple. General Grant and the Bohemians—How lie Receives them, and how he Be-j aponti to their Queries—-HI* Real Sen timents. j It seemed a full half hour, and it doubtless was i that long, before the General appeared. lie was , clad in full uniform, and had buckled on his last I sword from the sanitary fairs, to do honor to the ; occasion. As he entered I arose and introduced j myself as Hon. Scupper Nong, late of New I York, presenting my credentials trom your office. ! He bowed me to a seat very formally, and took my papers, saying not a word. I thought he did not seem very happy, nor as cordial as an old friend could have w ished. But I attributed it to the early hour and the possible lack of his morning coflee. After glancing at my papers he The Scheme of she H'Mhincton Radicals to Africanize the South. -pecial Dispatch to the New York World.] sat down and looked at me as if to say, “ Well, what do you want?” though he actually s EE. )■ 7- ) The Savannah Republican, referring to the mysterious article of tlie Atlanta Opinion (which w'e have heretofore noticed) concerning a plot of- certain Radicals to so director corrupt the action of the Georgia Convention as to make certain the defeat of the Constitution, says: “We are not at all surprised to hear that it is the avowed purpose of certain demagogues in whose interest and chiefly through whose instrumentality, aided by General Pope, the so-called Convention is about to assemble, to organize “ packing com mittees, and to turn the Convention into a politi cal swindle.” The whole undertaking is badly tainted with the most rotten kind of swindling. It was a swindle for negroes from South Caroli na, Florida, and adjoining Slates, to be allowed to register iu Georgia. It was a swindle to reg ister freedmen lrom the rural districts in the cities, and then credit them as cilizeus. It was also a shameful swindle to debar respectable white men from registering on the most flimsy kind of pretexts. It was a gross shame to ap point entire strangers, mere crumb-picking ad venturers, who had resided but a lew weeks in Georgia, to superintend the registration, while the oldest citizens, of unblemished reputation and spotless integrity, were ignored or repudi ated with siieut contempt. There were a few honest registers, both white and colored, but they were loo insignificant in numbers and strength to Bave the rot lrom permeating to the very core oi the siuiul apple. The whole thing is putrid, and the “ bileuse is so rank, it smells to lleaveu," and all we can say is God help the people of Georgia, if these unprincipled men ure u> manipulate the Convention and mutilate justice. It the Republican party desire to be sunk so low iu the estimation ot ail honest men, that no earthly power can ever resurrect it, and wishes to have the very whisper of its name re garded as an anathema upon the cause of jus tice, patriotism, virtue aud morality, let these parasites aud vultures feed a little longer on its weak body and the object will speedliy be achieved.” . said nothing. Whereupon I spoke: “ It is a fine morning,” 6aid I. He merely glanced out ol the window, but sat pensively'silent. He did not appear to be in bis usual communicative mood, and I felt my ardor rather dampened. Thinking the shortest way to be the quickest, after twist ing my thumbs, crossing my feet aud putting on my most winning and fraternal expression,! came sideways to the point. “Gen. Grant,” 6aid I, “the whole country, indeed I may say the whole world, is very anxious to know just what you think on the Reconstruction question and on politics generally. The nation is breathlessly waiting to hear you speak. Now I am a friend of yours. I have no personal ends in view. I have always been a friend of your family. You may speak to me in perfect confidence. Let me humbly (here I laid-my hand on my paper dicky, inadvertently soiling 'and displacing it), lei me humbly suggest that you say something to relieve this immense pressure upon the minds of men in general aud of myself iu particular. Just say one word, a single word. Do you sustain the President or do you stand by Congress?” I thought it was about time lor me to pause for a reply. He twitched nervously in his chair tor a minute, pushed liis bands down deep into his pockets, and looked as if he was absorbed iu thought. Atter sitting a few moments he looked up at his desk still unopened before him and said, “ Have you seen the Jeff. Davis poDy ? I captured it at Vicksburg.” I was disappointed, and looking him full in the face said, “Gen. Grant you needn’t think to put off an old friend,who sin cerely desires your welfare, with talking horse. know nothing of horses. I have only my country (rolling my eyes lovingly to an Ameri can flag which hung over the mantel,) my dear country in view—I may say I love it. I would have willingly died for it, only I had a small contract lor furnishing blankets to the army, which made my life dear to me, and occupied all my spare time during the late temporary alienation among brethren.” Seeing I would not be put off, be reached out liis hand to a side- drawer and took out a couple ot very promising Havanas. I surely thought he would have given me one; but putting one in each cornerwof his expressive mouth, he proceeded to light both at once with a single match and to puff away as it lie loved to smoke. Then my spirit was stirred within me, and I returned to the attack: “Gen eral,” said I, “will you uot answer me explicit ly ?” Then he knew his man, aud turning around and looking at me as if I were General Lee, and we were settling the terms of amicable adjustment, he responded as follows : “ Have you had your breaklast ? ” I may say that I was somewhat discouraged. But knowing that he admired pluck, aud remembering what he once said (though I suppose others may not have heard of it) about fightiug it out on that line, I resolved to die there on that spot before I would give it up. tio I merely replied: “Won’t you trust me, General? Can’t you confide in a friend who would lain be your bosom companion ? I’ll tell you all I know, if you’ll only ask me. Then answer my question!” Sad Case—A Lady in “ High Life ” a Vic tim of Intoxication.—A lady, handsome in form and face, the young wife of a once happy husband, a former leader of society in “high life, and still wealthy, entered the drug store ou the corner of Eighth and Vine streets recently, stood by tlie counter, and called lor a piece of writing paper and pen and iuk. The clerk brought the desired articles to her, and she commenced t<? write a note. As she did so, the clerk noticed that she was dressed elegantly, and that hun dreds of dollars glistened through diamonds on her fingers. He noticed also that her face was handsome; but there was au expression upon it then that rendered it repulsive, despite its beauty. The cheeks were flushed as if with strong lever, the lips worked uueasily, aud the eyes rolled like those of a maniac. While he was studying the strange expressions of face, he noticed that the pen wandered irregularly over the paper, aud very soon he saw it drop from the nerveless Au gers, and the form, with its robes of velvets and silks, dropped to the floor in a limp, shapeless heap. Several physicians were on hand im mediately, and they, in their efforts to restore the women lo.ltor senses, discovered simply that she was dead drunk. On this occasion she was taken by kind friends to a safe place, where sbe was gradually sobered. Her absence, however, greatly alarmed her relatives.—Cincinnati Com mercial. e seemed to be moved. Indeed, he moved Himself rattier uneasily upon his chair, smoking still more vigorously; and after a painful silence of ten minutes he spoke again. “Have you seen Mr. Forney?” said he. “No,” 1 replied. “Nor Mr. Blair?” “No." “Nor the editor from down South?” “No.” “Then I would advise you to see them.” “But they know nothing," I answer ed. “Neither do 1,” said he, and he smiled un til his left cigar fell, and be caught it, only spill ing the ashes over his vest. I felt badly. My confidence had been misplaced. My feelings were wounded in the house of a friend. I was going to tell him so. But on second thought I determined not, aud catne anew fresh to the at tack. “Gen. Grant,” said I, “do you not mean to tell me what you think ? Reflect npon the wants of the people. They are all looking to you. The nation is waiting for your nod. Won’t you speak ? speak once; speak for all. I was con scious of speaking in an imploring maimer. I wait ed for a moment—lor live minutes. Then I reid, rising: “Gen. Grant,'this is the last call, posi tively third and last call; won’t you speak?” “ No,” he said, yery emphatically, as if he was getting angry. Then he rang the bell and said to the servant, “ Show the other anxious in quirers in.” It was too much for me. Hastily taking my hat to leave I turned to make one last appeal. But he smiled on mo so blandly, with out removing either of the cigars, and said be tween his teeth as he bowed rather coldly aud triumphantly, “ Won’t you stop to breakfast, Mr. Scipio,” (naturally mistaking my name,) that I could Dot staud it any longer, and was about to decline when the door opened, and the others came pouring in, nearly pushing me over. I may say I left rather hurriedly, and went to my room on the eighth floor of Willard’s, a better if not a wiser man. After reflecting upon the sub ject of my interview I felt warranted in saying, aud saying truthfully, that Gen. Grant knows what he is about. Aud, I think, I may add that if anybody else knows what he knows, I don’t see how they found it out. I may call again, but, perhaps,* it would be as well not. And so I leave it. Bennett, Jr.—There is a young man in New York, the only son ot the most widely known editor in the world, who cuts such pranks be fore high heaven as almost make his lather weep. He squanders money by the handful, plunges recklessly into all sorts ot fashionable dissipation, associates with fast people of both sexes, occasionally attracts the attention of the police by his riotous conduct, and is rapidly rushing through a career that must have a very bad end. The lather ot this fast young man obtained notoriety by trampling on all moral obligations, and some people see in the troubles now thickening around him nothing but just retribution. This may be an uncharitable re flection, hut it certainly is not an unnatural one. —Cor. Mobile Register.' Gen. Grant in Florida.—Au Attorney who was in attendance upon the Circuit Court for this county during the past week, informs us that bis first professional visit to this county, was at Newnansville, tlie former county seat in 1842.— Judge Robert Raymond Reid was then upon the Bench. A military escort accompanied the members of the bar, suiters and witness en route to Tallahassee to attend the Court of Appeals, a considerable distance, to protect them from the scalpel and tomahawk of the Indians. The es cort was under command of Lieutenant (now) General Ulysses S. Grant, U. 8. A.—Gainesville Xnc Era. Give the Devil His Due.—“Knee-deep” Lindsay did say, we admit, a most mortifying “stenography”'speech to his brother Radicals, on Wednesday, in the Coustitutional Con von- j tiou, so-calletl, which we duly reported. One ! objection to this speech, on the part of his color ed brethren, is that he sa d “desarve.” This is evidently good old English as the following couplet, intended to rhyme, from “Coriolanus,” shows : “Better to die, better to starve, Thau crave the hire we do deserve.” As rumor saysthnt colored delegates are not to be permitted to “norate,” hereafter, in the Convention, we think it but right and fair that the unapproachable effort of Lewis Lindsay, col ored delegate from the city of Richmond, should not be smothered in the dusty details of the Con vention's proceedings. We, therefore, republish it in this column as a specimen of the eloquence and rhetoric of the colored members : “I hope iu this late hour of the struggle, that old Yirginny have been imperial that no good thinking man can suppose tor a moment "that we desire to misrepresent the idea that we can’t qualify the ability of the stenography to report lor this Convention. 1 hope every good think ing gen tie m it n will observe the necessity of hav ing a stenography, aud that they will be willine ig a stenography, aud that they wil to see that the gentleman is justly desarve. I hope, sir, that every gentleman wil! now see the necessity ot baring this stenography, so that we can then be able to understand the principles of their position. With my ability 1 hope you will. —Richmond W7dg. Reported Discovery of the Polar Conti* nent. San Francisco, December tt.—Honolula dates of November 14tli have been received. The King had completed his new residence at Malo- kin. He gave a grand banquet there, which was attended by 500 natives and a few loreiguers. The Honolula Advertiser publishes an account of the discovery of land hitherto unknown in the Arctic Ocean by Captain Long, of the whale ship Nile. It is thought this territory will prove to be the Polar continent so long sought after. The past season has been the mildest which has been experienced by the oldest whalemen, and Captain Long was able to reach latitude 73.30. He examined the land attentively along its en tire southern coast, which he sketched. It ap pears to be quite elevated, and has a mountain near the center about longitude 180, resembling au extinct volcano, and estimated to be about three thousand feet high. Captain Long named the country Wongcll’s Land, atter a Russian ex plorer. The western point of '.he coast in lati tude 70.46 north, longitude 78.30 east he named Cape Thomas, after the seaman who discovered it. The southeast poiut he called Cape Harvan. The Nile sailed several days along the coast, and approached within fifteen miles of the shore. The lower part of the land was free front snow, and appeared to be covered with vegetation. It was impossible to tell how far the land extend ed northward. Ranges of mountains could be seen until they were lost in the distance. Negro Suffrage—It Cannot Stand.—The New York World, thinks it best that the Repub licans may as well understand, that their negro suffrage ieconstructioh will not be permitted to stand. As to the position of the Democracy, on that subject, the editor tells us: “ The Democratic party is a State Rights E arty; and it the people ot every State in the hion, should settle the suffrage question in a different way, neither other States nor the federal government have any right to call them to ac count. The lundaraeutal doctrine ot the Demo cratic party in relation to the suffrage is, that its regulation belongs solely to the States, aud that it is an impudent outrage upon their rights for other States to assume to intermeddle. Who ever holds this doctrine is a sound Democrat on the suffrage question. Whenever this doctrine is accepted by Congress, the Democracy, as a national party, has uo further battles to fi^lu on the suffrage. The moment, the people of each St ite are permitted, without question, to decide it for themselves, it will disappear from general politics, aud dwindle to a local topic.” The Cotton Tax.—The tax on raw cotton was two cents per pound until August 1,1866, when it was increased to three cents. In Sep tember, 1857, it was again reduced a half cent per pound, the tax being two and a half cents. In 1866 the amount realized by the government from this source was $18,409,654 90, and in 1867, $28,769,078 80—the latter amount substantially representing the product of the year, namely, two million balsa. Mr. Greeley recently wrote to Senator Wil son to exert his influence to restrain the Ala bama Convention front adopting extreme mea sures. Senator WiLon writes General Swayne that the policy pursued by the Convention in legislating for divorces, aud iu other ways tran scending their authority, and the ultra speeches of Mr. Bingham and men of that class, is doing great injury to reconstruction, and bringing odium tin the Republican party.—Telegram to the Tim This is one result of the late elections. But pray what did Messrs. Greeley and Wilson thiuk ot this matter before ? All that the Alabama Convention has done was, in the main, predicted by the Democratic presses and orators, yet, then, these gentlemen poohpoohed all that was said. It they and their retainers are honest men, they will confess outright that the C ngressional mis- j called reconstruction scheme is a swindle from ! first to last, and that it, rather than the conduct ot a tew fanatics in Alabama, is “doing great I injury to reconstruction andbringin r o limn on the ilcptibue-L yar.y.”—JT. j. . Hiraid. "Washington, December 4. A caucus of Republican Congressmen was held to-night pursuant to the following confiden- i tial circular issued a few days since : Rooms of the Union Republican Congressional Committee, Washington, D. C., Dec., 1867 Sir: A caucus of the Union Republican members of both Houses of Congress will be held in the Hall of Representatives on Wednes day evening, December 4. at 8 o’clock, to hear the report of the Executive Committee on the present condition of the Southern campaign, and to consult as to the measures necessary to con tinue and complete the organization of the party in the unreconstructed States. Your attendance is earnestly requested, the object of the meeting being important. By order of Hon. E. D. Morgan, Chairman. Tnos. L. Tcllock, Secretary. Senator Morgan presided, and Representative Cullom, of Illinois, was elected secretary. Mor gan said the objects of the meeting were to con sider the best means ot promoting the interests ot the Republican party in the South. GeD. Schenck made a report ol the expenses of conducting the Southern campaign thus far, and the funds col lected tor that purpose, showing that $40,674 50 lmd been spent and $39,16023 had been collected. He gave a detailed statement of the labor pertorm- ed and documents distributed in the rebel States. He urged upon the caucus a continuance of the committee, and the renewal ot its best efforts, so that the Republican party might get full control ot the rebel Stales. He suggested that parties be sent .down South to the Conventions now in ses- ion, to see that they adopted the right kind of Constitutions. All the information in the pos session of the Executive Committee, he said, came through the Freedmen’s Bureau and the churches. He mentioned the Baptist and Metho dist churches, North, particularly as very valua ble aids. He recommended that the committee have $20,000 raised immediately, to be spent du ring the winter and spring. Judge Kelley agreed with General Schenck, except as to the amount to be raised. He thought $50,000 would lie no more than enough for the great work that was yet to be done. Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, thought the Republican party ought to buckle ou its armor for a big fight this summer, and he knew ot no better help than money to do the work. Congress ought imme diately to amend the reconstruction act so as to allow a majority of those votiDg to call a Con vention. As it now stands it required a majori ty of the registered voters, and left it in the power ot rebels and copperheads to keep the Southern States out ot the Union. He wanted them all in to take part in the Presidential election.— Otherwise, he wasn’t sure about success next fall. Another thing that must be done was the removal of every rebel now in office in the South, there was no telling what it would lead to. So Congress must step in and put the rebels out if the generals wouldn’t. Senator Chandler was the next speaker. He said more hud been accomplished than he thought possible with the amount ot money ex pended. There was no use iu talking; it was a question ot money, after all, and the Republican parLy nijgpt walk up to the captain’s office and settle very liberally between now and the next Presidential election, or the South would go to the devil and the copperheads. He thought, if necessary, half a million could be raised. _ The party wasn’t broke yet, nor no signs ot it. Senator Corbett, ot Oregon, followed iu a speech, urging liberal assessments and prompt payments. £ Mr. Maynard, of Tennesrhe, came next, and to the same purpose. It was then proposed that a committee be ap pointed to raise funds, and that all employees about the Capitol and elsewhere, in the pay of Congress, be called on for a donation. This mo tion was carried, and the caucus adjourned. No other subject but that indicated above was talk ed ot. Negroe* and Jfeirro Authority. Is there a solitary human -beinir who knows | anything of the negro who does not know his j absolute unfitness for suffrage? Whether this, unfitness be due to liis n:\Uirul mental and moral detects, or is the result of that igunrance which is his misfortune, does not alter the case. He ' was made a slave, not by tlie Southern people, 1 l but by the English, the Dutch, the Spaniards and the New Englan era. F ran them we in- j . ht-rited this “human chattel/' Owning him as j J a slave and having him to teid, clothe and house, j we of course could not educate him.

Indeed the intermeddling o! e wo ,an owm Thing* iu New York. The Great Grant Meeting—A Bit of Secret History—Epis copal Church Matters—Failures and Suspension!. The New York correspondent of the Philadel phia Ledger writes under date of the 4th inst.: An event much talkdd of to-day is the Grant meeting at Cooper Institute this evening. There is a bit"of secret history connected with it worth repeating. A few daya ago the Conservative Republicans (such as Weed, Raymond and their associates) came together, aud, alter a free dis cussion of the political situation, concluded that it would be a good card to break ground lor Grant. They wanted to be first in the field, and tlie first to formally salute the "coming man.”— Their arrangements were made accordingly, and the intention was to call a grand “ spontaneous combustion” meeting in Union Square on Friday evening next. Unlortunately for their plans, however, the Radical Republicans (such as Op- dyke, Spencer aud Dodge) got knowledge of what was in the wind, aDd so, not to be outgen- eralled, they determined upon a flank movement, the result of which was the call lor the demon stration this evening. As the facts ot the case are now pretty generally known about tow n, the laugh is against the Conservative ^Republicans. The Commercial Advertiser of this evening (Weed’s paper) makes no allusion to the meeting whatever. There is good reason lor saying that the pro ceedings that were contemplated against Rev. Stephan H. Tyng, Jr., for his alleged breach of discipline (in the Stubbs case,) bave been drop ped by the Ecclesiastical authority of the Epis copal Church of this diocese, for reasons no doubt, satisfactory to themselves. Meanwhile, it is worth noting, the “ breaches ” are multiply ing. Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg, ot the church of the Holy Communion, preaching in Dr. Spring’s Presbyterian Church, on Murray Hill, and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher doing the same tbing.tliis evening, in the church of the Holy Trinity, over in Brooklyn ! Business circles were rite again to-day with reports of the suspension of this firm and that. As many as eight or nine houses were mention ed, but as it is difficult to authenticate them, publication of names would be improper. The failures mentioned yesterday have inten sified the prevailing distrust of commercial paper, and discounts accordingly are reported closer than ever in the open market. The banks, however, are meeting the requirements of their regular customers with freedom. Rates range trom 7i to 10 per cent. Loans on call 7 per cent., with some exceptions at 9. The Associated Press.—One of the most efficient, because thoroughly organized and well managed institutions in the country, is the As sociated Press. Few persons, noFproiessionaiiy connected with newspapers, can appreciate the important service daily rendered to the reading world of America by this organization. Its net work oi agencies extends over the whole Uniou and the continents beyond the sea. Punctually every morning the merchant has his quotations served hitn with liis breakfast—and Liverpool, Bombay, Havana, Sacramento, Paris and Alaska, all yield their daily quota ot news to satisfy the public appetite. The master-spirit of this huge and complicated system is Mr. James SimontoD, who, in the central office of the Association in New York, holds in his hand the myriad threads ot this va^st machine, and directs with admirable precision at once the collection and distribution of the varied intelligence received. The arrange ments are of a liberal character, and each news paper in the country, at a comparatively trifling cost, is put in daily telegraphic communication with the four quarters of the globe. Though the newsTeports may not be always faultless, it cannot be denied that of late they have decidedly improved, both in quality and quantity; and while the Southern press is served so faithfully, it will be slow to desert a tried and established organization, in favor ot any ephem eral opposition, which some needy adventurer or discontented journalist may choose to start.— Charleston Xeics. Northern agitators made it impolitic^ for us to educate tlie negro, had we been so riisposi-0*— But it is not his want of education alone that un fits him lor suffrage. Four thousand years ago he was brought into contact with civilians in Egypt, aDd there, during all that time he has utterly failed to give to the world any proof of native nr acouired capaci.y, with the ex ception here and there of a lew sporadic individ- ua' instances—and in them there.was present a strong infusion ot white blood. He has origina ted no idea, made no discovery, £tt:ained no pro ficiency in science or art. From Ins entrance npon the historic arena to his appearance upon the field ot American politics, he is the same Sambo. Supported in Liberia by the money, in fluence, counsel, and countenance ol all the na tions of Christendom, lie has, alter a fair experi ment of thirty years, failed to be self-sustaining. Instead of attracting the native elements and ex panding into a great civilized African empire, he maintains, with all the help he has received, au uncertain foothold, and it has become appar ent to all mankind that the colonists Ot Liberia would soon relapse into barbarism if European aud Atnericau assistsnee were withdrawn. The experience and history of the African in the French and British West Indies is too well known to require any remark. The unfitness of the negro tor participation in government is as much the seuliment ol the Northern people as ot the Southern people. It is but a few short weeks since Ohio, Kansas, Minnesota, aud (indirectly) New Jersey, rejected negro suffrage; and this they did knowing that the small negro populations of those States pre cluded all danger ot negro ascendancy, for j. lie black males iu Ohio number only 38,353, in Kan sas 8,523, Minnesota 1,298, New Jersey 16,354, being an almost inappreciable proportion to the while population ot those States. With all these things before us, and with our recent and painful experience of the excesses of the Southern negroes, aud of the menace of negro supremacy, can any saue Northern man expect us to aid iu conferring suffrage upon the negroes? To vote for negro suffrage, or for a constitution establishing it, is to convert the South into ap Abyssinia, a Hayti, a St. Dam iugo. It is to Af ricanize and barbarize it, and make it unendur able to the while race.—Richmond Whig. Tlie Irish. Since the Honorable Mr. Bingham, ot Ohio, who is somewhat known by hi9 successful efforts in the “taking off” ot Mrs. Surratt, has said that the negroes are as well qualified to vote as those who have been brought up at the tail ot the wheelbarrow—meaning by this allusion the Irish and Germans—it has become very popular tore- peat the slander by the apologists ot negro suf frage, even in the South._It eau only be believed by tlie ignorant and repeated by the depraved. The Land We Love, iu its la9t issue, thus re fers to Mr. Bingham’s comparison of the Irish and African races.—Savannah News <& Herald. Does he know that A ellington, tlie greatest soldier of Great Britian, was an Irishman ? That tlie sweetest poet of tiie English language was Moore, an Irishman? That, according to Wa’ter Scott, the most vigorous writer of pure idiomatic English was Swilt, an Irishman? That the greatest English statesman was Burke, au Irish man ? Does he know that Byron said of Sheri- dian, the Irishman, “ He has written the best address in the English tongue, and to crown all, he has delivered the very best oration ever conceived or heard of in any country?” It may lie some rebuke to Mr. B.’s radical impu dence to tell him that the protoundest sensation ever made in the British Parliament was caused by*the speeches ot those two Irishmen, Burke aud Sheridan, during the trial of Warren Hast ings. The great Bummer Hastings had just brought to a successful couclusion the conquest of India. He had swept over that unhappy re gion iu the style most popular eveu in the lttth century, stealing, plundering, burning and mur dering. Like a modern hero, he endeared war to the heart of the conquering nation by making war support itself, and by fumisbing dainty ma terial lor illustrated pictorials of the sufferings and humiliation ot the conquered people. He was. therefore, feasted and honored, aud was the Magnus Appollo, the adored idol of tlie British populace. Butin this very hour of his triumph aud his popularity, these two generous Irishmen had the heart to sympathize with the wronged and oppressed; still better, they had the courage to denounce the demigod and bring him to trial. It was the Begum speech ot Sheridan, delivered on the occasion ot the impeachment, which By ron pronounced to be the master effort oi British oratory. Wilt it be worth while to tell Radical stupidity of those worki-reuowued Irish writers, Sterne, Steele, and Goldsmith ? Ol Slice, the Irish poet and painter, President of the Royal Academy? Of the great Oriental scholar. Shea, the Itish- man ? Of a long line of eminent oratore, bar risters, statesmen, and jurists, Curran, Grattan, Lord Piunket, Saurin, O’Connell, Shiel, &c. ? Has this Radical ignoramus ever beard ot poor Emmet? If not, we reler him to the school books. Has he ever heard of Bishop Shale, Archbishop Usher—all Irishmen, and the last the author of a chronology of the Bible? Does he know that the great French philosopher said of Robert Boyle, the Irishman, “without Robert Boyle, we would know nothing?” Does he know that one ot the most eminent of the Brit ish Surgeons was Abernethy, the Irishman ? Does he know that the first Commodore in the American navy was John Parry, tlie Irishman^ whom the English tried to bribe with $60,000 in money and the captaincy of an English frigate? In our section we will not be so ungrateful as the honorable gentleman, and will ever honor young Mitchell—noble son of a noble sire! who gave his life lor the defense ol Fort Sumter; and fresh will we ever keep the memory ot that peerless soldier and noble Irish gentleman Pat rick R. Cleburne. It the honorable gentleman can mention a single name among the descendants from Guinea, Congo, and Asbautee, which will bear compari son with any one of those given above, then we believe that Radical ignorance is not so great as Rabical wickedness A gentleman, lately returned from Ireland informed us that no American was safe there from annoyance, and handcuffing from the po lice. He was himself dogged, examined, and would have been imprisoned but that he bore a commission as a representative to the Paris Ex position. He saw Americans marched, hand cuffed, and under guard, to prison, upon suspi cion ot being Fenians. Can’t a Congressional investigating' committee, a military commission, or a negro loyalist be sent there to inquire into these matters? Seriously, is it not disgraceful? In Dublin, Americans arrested, handcuffed, and imprison ed; in Washington, a Radical Congress trying to impeach the President; in the South, thou sands ot armed soldiers to oppress the whites and give power to the negroes; in New York, our securities 40 per cent, discount. Oh! hail A Female Highway Robber-—She Ope rates by Means of Chloroform".—A robbery of a very bold character was committed at a late hour Tuesday night by au unknow n woman, at the corner of DeKalb and Clermont avenues.— It appears that about eleven o’clock a man named Leonard Burtis, while passing the cornet- in question on his way home, was accosted by a woman, who inquired the hour. Mr. Burtis was in th^act of taking his watch from his pocket tor the purpose of furnishing her with the in formation desired, when suddenly she applied to his mouth aud nose a handkerchief saturated with chloroform. Burtis, overcome by the fumes ot the drug, sank to to the pavement’ quite in sensible. About half an hour after ne retrained sensibility, and then discovered that his watch and six hundred dollars were missing. He im mediately proceeded to the forty-fourth precinct station house, where he related the circumstances of the affair to Sergeant Smith. No clue has been obtained of the bold woman.—Xew York Express. How the President’s Message was Re^ ceived by Congress.—The Washington cor respondent of the New York Tribune, speaking i of the reception of the message, says: It appeared to have very little efl.-ct either on the members or on the spectators in the galleries. There were no demonstrations either ot approval or of disapproval, and the w.iole thing f 11 flat and stale. The only ripple ot excitement was at the {mint where the President alluded to the Democratic triumphs in the recent elections, when the Republicans laughed at tiie Democrats, and the Democrats returned the compliment in long, loud, and repeated guffaws. Shortly after the members got together and began discussing the document. The Republicans eniertain but one opinion respecting it, which is, that it is a bold, insolent defiance to Congress. They say it shows a determination on the part of Mr. John son to continue iuhis present course, and, should impeachment be attempted, to resist Cmure.-s by every means at his command. Tuey ail admit its abiliiy and the question asked hy al most every one is, “Who wrote it ?’’ tor the raa- [COSOi UYICATID.] In Hemoriam. Poor Yarney Gaskill, known iu 1850, as a fire- eater, of the first water, and still more recently as “chief clerk” and “bottle holder” in Hnl- Lert’s Registration office, came to an untimely end, on Tuesday last, in the Unconstitutional Convention now in session in the city of Atlanta. He was a candidate for Secretary of that august body; but they out-counted him, and Shibely, of Rome, was declared duly elected. It is said that Yarney’s “blue cockade” which Yankees to hell ” speech, which he made in 1861, done the work for him. The last sad rites of sepulture were performed over liis defimct political body on Tuesday night; Hulbert, Pope's Chief Registrar, officiating as grave-digger, undertaker, pall-bearer, and chap lain—no mourner being either present or absent and while the solemn services were beiug per formed, it is reported— “ Not a dram was heard—not a funeral note As his corse to the grave Hulbert hurried; Not a nigger uttered his gorrovvtul shout O’er the place where Varney was buried. retTOX SUPERIOR COURT, OCTOBER TERM, 1867.
