Clekk or Council’s Office.—The modest,
but efficient and accommodating Clerk of
Council, our bachelor friend, L. T. Bionic, has
taken possession of his old quarters in the City
Hall. The room, which was in a dilapidated
condition when turned over to the civil
authority, has undergone a wonderful change
for the. better, having been neatly cleaned and
carpeted, under the superintendence of Mr.
James Mullin, the courteous and competent’
Keeper of the City Hall. Both gentlemen feel
delighted and rather proud of their elevation;
hut not too much so to negleet their old friends
and acquaintances. In proof of this, it is their
intention to hold a levee this morning, between
10 and 13 o’clock, at their Chamber, when a
cheese will be cut, and some choice old wines
placed on the board for the benefit of their
numerous friends.
The Pavilion Hotel.—Mine host, H. L. But
terfield, of the Pavilion Hotel, Charleston, has
his celebrated machine in lull operation. “ An
old hand at the bellows,” he understands how
to supply tiie wants of the inner man. During
tlie recent visit of the Augusta delegation of
firemen to Charleston, lie extended to the mem
bers of the Georgia and Gazelle courtesies
which will be remembered with gratitude. Al
though not the guests of his house, the atten
tions of Mr. Butterfield and his estimable wife
were unremitting to make their sojouru as
pleasant, as possible. To our friends of Geor
gia and Carolina we take pleasure in commend
ing the Pavilion, and Mr. Butterfield, who
knows how to keep a hotel.
A Reconstructionist. —On Wednesday
night last, a young man who, it seems, believed
that all sectional differences should cease, at
tired his person in ladies’apparel and appeared
<m Bridge Row. A policeman, more conserva- j
live in his views, took this radical reconstruc- '
tionist to the guard house, where he was re
stored to liis former status. On assuring Lfec
oflieer that he was satisfied with the experiment,
and hardly thought, with the lights before him,
that he would attempt such another revolution, I
nothing was said in regard to the abstract right I
so to do.
A Mother’s Appeal.—Mrs. Christiana j
Mnuml, ol Talbotton, Georgia, desires to know I
the whereabouts ol her son, Wm. B. Matind, of I
Company A, 4th Georgia Volunteers. He was j
' last seen alive on the 10th of September, 1804,
in the streets of Winchester, Va., while Gen-
Early was retreating from Gen. Sheridan. Ar
tillery firing was going on at the time, and he
refused to retreat. Since that time the mother
lias heard nothing of him. The press of the
South will confer a grent favor upon a bereaved
mother by publishing this notice, as thereby she
may hear something of the fate of her son.
The Race Course. —Mr. Peter Straub, who j
has recently rented the Race Course, and is |
now engaged in fitting it upas a summer resort i
for the accommodation of our citizens, informs I
us that the pic-nie of the colored schools did j
not take place at the Race Course, as announced j
in our paper yesterday morning. This eorrec- !
tion Mr. Straub desires made in justice to him- j
self, as he refused the use of the grounds to
some of our citizens, because the improvements
now going on are incomplete. In a few days
he hopes to have it fixed up in good style, when j
lie will be pleased to accommodate his friends.
Personal. — We had the pleasure of a visit !
last evening from I)r. F. Olin Donnelly, editor
and proprietor of the Middle Georgia News, j
published at Madison, Ga., and also the senior I
partner of Donnelly, Marshal & Co., of the. j
Southern Leg and Arm Company. Dr. D. is ;
en route to Richmond, Va., to attend a meeting !
of the Medical Board for the examination of
various patents of artificial limbs, convened by j
the Medical Society of Virginia.

The Fair.—The fair given by the members !•
of the Presbyterian Sabbath School at Masonic i
Hall, last evening, was, we are pleased to learn, i
largely attended by ladies, children and gentle
men, who seemed to vie with eacli other in pro- j
looting the worthy object for which it is held, j
The occasion was enlivened by some excellent i
music which added vastly to the enjoyment of j
all present. The fair will be continued to- l
night, and we trust that our citizens will con- '
tribute in such a manner as to make it a com- |
plete success.
Death of an Old Citizen.—Mr. Francis
O’Connor, an old citizen of Edgefield District,
South Carolina, but for the last year a resident
of Augusta, died in this city, at the residence
of his son-in-law, Mr. James A. Gray, Wednes
day last. The deceased was a. successful plant
er, and an honest, upright citizen, respected for i
liis integrity of character and assiduous atten
tion to business. Mr.O’Connor was nearly eighty
years of age. His funeral services will take
place to-day, at the Catholic Church.
Fenian Meeting.— The Fenians had a meet
ing, at the old drill room of the Clinch Rifles,
last night. Mr. Pierce Skehan, Head Center, of
Brooklyn Circle, made an address in behalf of
the objects of Fenianisni. Wc learn that his re
marks were enthusiastically received and per
tinent to Hie subject. The Circle received
several new applicants, and now numbers fifty
members in good standing.
Justice of the Peace.—W. G. Whidby,
Esq., the efficient and courteous Deputy Clerk
of the Superior Court of Richmond county, has j
been elected Justice of the Peace in the 123 d !
district. Mr. Whidby ia a civil and peaceably
disposed gentleman, and possessing such at- !
tributes, caunot fail to make an excellent offi
cer. We tender him our congratulations on
liis election.
Death of Mr. Charles L. Turner.—Mr.
Charles L. Turner, an unassuming, industrious,
respected and promising young citizen, who
had been suffering for a lengthened period
from a painful disease, died at his residence in
this city Wednesday night, regretted by a large
circle of'friends and acquaintances. Peace to
his ashes.

Citt Council.—The regular monthly meet
ing of the City Council occurs this morniig,
at half-past nine o’clock. Our Mayor and Al
dermen are doing good service for the city, and
consequently, have the confidence of the entire
community.
Richmond Superior Court. —This body
was in chambers yestefday, engaged in hearing
motions, &c. Judge W. M. Reese, of the
Northern Circuit, presiding. Among the dis
tinguished lawyers present, we observed Hon.
W. Dougherty, of Atlanta.
The Emperor of the French has caused to be
struck 18 gold, 178 silver and 112 bronze med
als for the physicians who were zealous and de
voted to the sick In the late cholera visitation
at Paris,
Negro Aristocracy. —Aristocracy, says the
Richmond Times , in some shape or other, is gen
erally found to exist among the people of all na
tions. It is to be found even among barbarous
and uncivilized races. Hence we need experience
no surprise at the discovery of its existence
among the freedmen, as was recently strikingly
illustrated by the action of the Washington ne
groes. In the celebration which was held in shat
place we learn they appealed to General Howard
to prevent the “common negroes from Rich
mond and elsewhere” from participating. Gen-
Howard, it is said, declined to interpose his au
thority “ between the wind and their nobility.”
Doubtless the Washington negro esteems it
an honor and a privilege to live at the national
capital, upon terms of intimacy with Sumner
and Stevens. Proud of this high distinction,
he does not want the contamination of the ig
twble vulgus “ from Richmond and elsewhere.’’
He wished to have a choice and select celebra
tion ; no “ common negroes” were to be pre
sent. These stilted sentiments certainly indi
cate that the negroes - entertaining them arc un
common negroes, and probably they are all like
that black chap who, the other day, while at
tending the .session of the Senate, moved and
inspired by the passage of the Civil Rights bill,
insisted on sitting with the foreign embassadors
and ministers.
We hope that the freedmen of “Richmond
and elsewhere”—the “common negroes”—will
be able to survive the mortification of having
“ the cold shoulder” turned upon them in this
manner by their aristocratic and uncommon
brethren in Washington. They must console
themselves witli the reflection that it is a great
tiling to sit by jowl” with the Radicals,
and that these are advantages which they have
had no opportunity of enjoying ; that they only
attend the Freedmen’s and Mayor’s courts,
while these Washington negroes visit the Sen
ate of the United States and consort with
ministers plenipotentiary.
Give Printers Fair Play.— The following
excellent advice appears in an exchange paper:
Do not forget that it costs something to puff as
well as to advertise ; and never to sponge upon
the printers in any manner whatever. It is
printer’s ink that makes nine-tenths of your
fortunes; it takes money to buy ink, type,
paper, and yet, after all this, few are the thanks
that tiie printers get. Give the printers fair
play, and give up all expectation of gratuitous
puffing, etc. The great American
Daniel Webster, was “ mighty near right”
when lie remarked of the press, “ small is the
sum required to patronize a newspaper ; amply
rewarded is its patrons, I care not how humble
and unpretending the gazette which he takes.
It is next to impossible to till a sheet with
printed matter, fifty-two times a year, without
putting into it something that is worth the sub
scription price.”
Our. Confederate Dead. —The ladies of
Athens will, on Friday next, the 4th of May,
meet at the Cemetery to strew with flowers the j
sacred graves of the Martyrs to Liberty, who j
sleep their last sleep within its hallowed j
boqnds. It had been suggested that the 26th
of April was a fitting day fora simultaneous of
fering of this diameter, all over the South, but
in many places flowers in sufficient profusion
could not be liad at that time. After all, the
time makes lit tle difference. It is the act itself
that tells, witli an eloquence neither tongue nor
pen could parallel the sentiments that prompt
it. Not one word need lie said—not one note
of eulogy sounded—History will take care of all
that, when the Truth comes to be written.
[Athens Watchman.
One Effect of the Blockade.—A distin
guished admiral of the United States navy, in
recommending the pardon of an eminent cot
ton merchant of Louisiana says: “Financial
writers now candidly ndmil that the stringency
of the blockade, for which the navy is now re
ceiving merited credit, kept cotton in this coun
try to the magnificent amount of four hundred
millions of dollars in greenbacks, or three hun
dred millions in gold, which since the closing
of the rebellion has come to flic relief of the
national credit, the national currency and the
tax payers from one end of the Union to the
other.” —Washington Star, 28 th.
If Mr. A. 11. Stephens’ advice laid been fol
lowed by the Confederate authorities at the out
set this would not have happened, and the Con
federate currency (the great cause of our de
feat) would have been sustained.
| Richmond Times.
A Pertinent Suggestion. —Speaking of the
radical scheme ol re-annexing Alexandria coun
ty, Va., to the District of Columbia, the New
York News suggests that it would be a capital
idea to extend the boundaries of the District of
Columbia so as to include the States lately in
insurrection. “This would be a concise, neat,
simple and cheap method of getting rid of all
the complications wherein the reconstruction
question seems to tie hopelessly entangled, and
would doubtless secure the support of all
moderate and reasonable men.”
The Last Man of the Retreating Arm v.—
The Petersburg Index , speaking of the desecra
tion of a burial lot in Pocahontas, near that city,
makes the following interesting mention ol'
the last devoted North Carolinian :
“ There is buried here one soldier—a Cur
tius—who, on the night of the evacuation, was
left at Pocahontas Bridge to lire it, and was
killed there, the last man of the retreating army.
He was found dead by the Federal forces ad
vancing, and by them interred, a blanket his
only coffin, and the apron of a woman who
came there to weep, his only shroud.”
Sleep. —The editor of the Evansville Jour
nal brings into his columns the following on
the subject of sleep. Pray, sir, how do you
know how much sleep women require V
Women require more sleep than men, and
farmers less than those engaged in any other
occupation. Editors, reporters, printers and
telegraph operators require no sleep at all.—
Lawyers e.au sleep as much as they please, as
they will thus be kept out of mischief. Clergy
men are allowed to sleep twenty-four hours
and to put their parishes to sleep once a week.
Mean and Devilish.— The meanest exhibi
tion of fanatical and bigoted hate we have lately
read of occurred in Ohio. While a lot of ears
intended for use on the Mobile and Ohio rail
road were coming through the Western Reserve,
some Abolitionists, ascertaining they were for
use in the South, savagely invaded them, cut
ting the cushions with knives and otherwise
i mutilating them—a revenge worthy of and just
| cowardly enough for Abolitionists.
The new penal code of Alabama makes no dis
j tinction on account of color, only marriages
i between white persons and negroes are pro
j liibited. It forbids whipping and branding as a
J punishment l'or crime, but provides that con
' victs may be put to work upon the roads, or
hired out to corporations or individuals.
Extraordinary Loss in Cotton.— A party
in New York jjurchased, over a year ago, three
| hundred and fifty bales of cotton, for which
1 they paid some $1 80 per lb.. That cotton
! was kept until lately, when it was sold at 37c.
per lb., inflicting on the owners the terrible
loss of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
A “Union” Swap. —The La Crosse Demo
crat publishes the name of a Wisconsin patriot
who went to the war, and brought home, among
other plunder, a young negro. After keeping
the darkey at menial labor for some months,
the model Republican actually swapped him oil
for a dog with another Republican. That’s
making the negro “ dog cheap.”
An Important Decision. —The Supreme
Court of Massachusetts, in a case carried before
a full bench on a demurrer, has decided as fol
lows : “ A revenue stamp is no part of the
note, and need not be copied; nor is the validity
! of the note affected by the want of a stamp, un
| less it is fraudulently omitted.”
For tiir Confederate Dead. —Mrs. Paul
! Ravesics, of Mobile, has collected $1,208 in re
sponse to the appeal of the ladies of Winches
ter, Virginia, for pecuniary aid to collect and
suitably re-inter the remains of the Confeder
tae soldiers who fell in the vicinity of that city.
Go It, Old Lady.—A “ freedwonian ” who
had been condemned by Col. Bailey to work on
the streets, told him very significantly, “ Dat
dis freedom was a good deal like Confede
rate money, de more you lias ob it, de woss you
is off.”
Loyal Reading.—A correspondent of the
N. C. Presbyterian calls attention to the fact,
that some of the school books published at the
North and brought to the South for sale con
tain offensive and insulting chapters in regard
to the late war, besides ifcing falso and unfair.
Gerard S-tith, formerly Mayor of New Or
leans, and now foreman in the composing room
of the Picayune, in that city, has been nomi
nated as candidate for alderman, vice J. O.
Nixon, resigned.
Gone Up.—The negro school at Wytheville
lias been closed. The Yankee woman who had
charge of it could not stand it.
Distilled spirits rendered a revenue, last year
of $19,000,000. Pretty good for “evil spirits.”
Whitewashing a Fine Art.—There is a
strong probability, says the Richm6nd Times,
of “ Bummer Butler” beiug whitewashed into
a state of moderate respectability. During the
past fortnight his prospects have brightened
very materially. In the first place, two valiant
bank officials rushed into print to vindicate
Butler from all suspiciou of having pocketed
the funds of a savings bank. In the second
place, the counsel of a New Orleans broker,
named Smith, from whom Butler took fifty
thousand dollars in gold, gave him a certificate
last week that the seizure was properly made,
and the certificate so delighted B. F. that he
straightway paid over the fifty thousand dollars
to Bmith\? ’' ' f .rney. The certificate was well
worth ti e XOIX ey, and so emboldened Butler
that he .ff . ewor; that the great .r ebellion
had him.

Disappearance of a Nigger Idol.—Yes
terday morning, at the opening of the Freed
man’s Court, no clerk was either visible, tangi
ble or in anywise comeatable. A little inquiry
elicited the fact that the clerk had gone North
on one of Saturday’s steamers. We congratu
late the North on his arrival, as he took with
him funds belonging to various parties here,
which must necessarily be disbursed in New
York. There is no Freedmen’s Bureau in ses
sion in that city, and as horses and buggies can
be only had by payment in advance, the de
faulting party will find that bis 8300, or therea
bouts, will not last long. We do not mention
name, for the reason that he has a namesake or
two here who are eminently responsible and
deserving, but those who are posted will know
the party. Among the sufferers are two or
three poor men. S3OO is a small sum at which
to sell reputation and honor among one’s
fellow men.— Savannah Republican.
Brave and True.— The remains of Major
Davis, a gafiant son of Massachusetts, who was
■killed while serving on General Dick Taylor’s
staff at Front Royal in 1862, were re-interred in
the “ Stonewall ” cemetery at Winchester last
Monday. He was a brave chivalrous soldier.—
Os him the Winchester Times says: “He pos
sessed the entire-confidence of his general and
comrades in arms. * * * * He now sleeps
among the stranger friends, for whose princi
ples he battled gallantly but unsuccessfully, and
there may lie rest quietly loved and lamented
by all true Virginians.” There were many gal
lant Northerners who fell in our service.
Terrapin Bend. —The Mississippi during
the high water now prevailing is reported to
have broken Terrapin Bend, near Vicksburg,
which General Williams wasted much labor in
attempting to cut through, but without success.
General Grant made a still more earnest effort,
which was also a failure. And now the Mis
sissippi lias shown herself superior to them
both. This cut shortens the river fifteen miles
and will leave Eagle Benda lake fourteen miles
long. •
A New Synagogue In New York. —A cor
respondent of the Baltimore Transcript, of date
18th, says :
This afternoon quite a number of Israelites
assembled in Forty-eighth street,-near Seventh
avenue, to witness the laying of the corner
stone of a new Jewish Temple. There are
already over twenty-four in this city. The
services this afternoon were conducted by Rev.
Dr. Alder, and an address was delivered by R.
de Cordova.
Veterans. —Madame Anna Bishop, who has
been concert i/.ing for forty years past or more,
sailed for China on the 18th February. She
had just closed a very successful series of con
certs at the Honolulu. Madame Celeste closed
at De Bar’s Opera House, St. Louis, lust week.

1 President Johnson’s Veto.
’ The Radicals .IVant to Force the Negro to a
> Franchise Refused to Millions o f English La
-3 borers — The Colored Citizen to be Defined at
[ once, and Reconstruction to be Indefinitely
Postponed, etc.
[From tho London Time*, April 10.)
Having: just had to accept from our chief
l West Indian possession an almost total sur
[ render of the right of self-government, and be
ing engaged at home in the business of consti
, tutional reconstruction, we cannot help sympa
thizing with all three branches of the American
; Legislature, now brought to a dead lock by the
, “irrepressible negro.” That personage has
, just been proved, by wager of battle, and by
general acclamation, “a man and a brother;”
his chains lnve been broken, and he is a slave
no more. He is even permitted to fight for his
country and for equal laws. But then comes
the difficulty. Is he also a citizen, and must he
be admitted withinlthe pale of the Constitut ion,
as we say at home ? The questiou has agitated
parties considerably in America, for it is ob
vious t hat very little has been done by changing
the slave into a pariah, and that, such is human
nature, if the negroes are allowed no voice in
making the laws they will be much at the mercy
of their old masters. As well be the slave of
one man as of a State—nay, better, some think,
for the one man must care for the slave at least
as much as he does for his cattle, whereas the
State may only regard him as a public enemy.
There are zealots there who think this vast ex
penditure of men and money has been to little
purpose if the negro is still to be excluded from
civil right—in fact, to lie nothing but “a man
and a brother.” The Civil Rights bill is the Re
form bill of the day at Washington. The Presi
dent, representing the common sense and practi
cal wisdom of the community, and not wishing
to saddle himself with new and insuperable
.difficulties, has, however, vetoed this bill. The
great work of the day is the reconstruction of
the Union, and it is held that this can be done
bettor without previously putting the negro into
a status altogether new to him. His freedom
itself is difiiculty enough, and it is not necessary
to add his civil equality and citizenship.
It is observable that the question is uot made
to turn on the merits of the negro. Nobody
thinks it necessary to assert either that he is
wise, temperate, honest and independent, or the
contrary. People do not even seem to ask how
the negro would vote and act if left to himself.
There can be no doubt of President Johnson’s
warm and strong feeling for the race, and his
hearty desire to make the best bargain lor it
within the compass of circumstances. Even his I
pride as a politician is committed to this, as well |
as his philanthropy. The reasons which have
led to his veto are reasons of State, which is
only a phrase for the reasons which any sensible
man feels better than lie can explain—better,
perhaps, than he can always venture to avow.
There are matters of which a thousand people
may be fully and equally cognizant, though not
one will allude to for lie knows well that
somebody will eall him a libeller, and the rest
will stand by to hear him so called. Why can
not the negro be declared a citizen and invested
with all the rights of man ? The real answer
is. that he is not o citizen, and cannot be made a
citizen by a proclamation or a laic. We have,
unfortunately, hi d a little experience of our own
in this matter. We gave the Jamaica negro, in
common with his white master, civil equality,
and the right of self-government, and see how
it lias ended. All the negro's instinct's and
habits go in the other direction. lie is careless,
credulous and dependent; easily excited, easily
duped, easily frightened; always the ready vic
tim of the stronger will. Hi is material for the
hands of anybody who wishes to make use of
him. Invested with full political rights, the \
race must be a magazine of mischief. In
Jamaica it appears that the' negroes would
imbibe at u day’s notice any absurd delusion as
t o the authority and wishes of the British Queen, j
of the Commissioners, or anybody else; but
what th 03- were always looking for was some- j
thing- to be given them, or something to be done !
for them, or some law to make them all rich, .
happy landowners, and tax free for ever. Such ;
men are not citizens, call them so as we will.
President Johnson, in his Message, takes into |
account the education and circumstances, as !
well as the race. These tour millions have, he I
abserved, just emerged from slavery; and he !
notices that the United States require a five I
years’ training in Republican institutions and
habits belore they admit a European foreigner 1
to citizenship. Even an intelligent Englishman i
must go through this probation. The slave •
must have at least ns much—we fear very much I
more. He has his virtues. In some respects
h* contrasts favorably with the white man.
Nobodt’ wishes to speak ill of him, but he sim
ply is not capable of government in the sense we
mean when we talk of commonwealths. It is not
in him. Is this strange to us ? Have we no
class at home that even our most liberal politi
cians are content to see out of the pale of citi
zenship, like the four million negroes President
Johnson is obliged to leave out of it * For the
answer we state a single fact. Nobody on
either side of the House of Commons has dropped
a word about the enfranchisement of over twelve
hundred thousand agricultural laborers, repre
senting, as they do, a much larger population
than the negroes in the United States. Nobody
praises them; nobodv abuses them; nobody
proposes to give them votes; nobody thinks it
necessary to give reasons why they should uot
have votes.
But if the matter of the President’s message
has a singular bearing upon our own present
case, so also has his argument. He is engaged
upon the work of reconstruction, lie says. He j
lias to maintain the federative system of limited ,
powers, and the barriers which preserves the \
rights of tlie States. This is an actual and tra- ,
ditional system arising out of a great variety of !
circumstances. For such an actual state of j
things the President declines to substitute a
universal equality, with nothing to control it .
but a central government. Our own case is not j
so very dissimilar as it might seefn. 111 our j
great variety of classes, conditions and interests,
and the consequent variety of arrangements -
that have sprung out of them, we have a parallel ,
to the relation of the United States one with .
another. There is no American statesman of \
note who has not looked with dread to the pos- .
sible day when a mere crowd of self-called eiti- .
zens might usurp all the rights and powers now ,
residing in various communities, and adapted -
to their own local circumstances. America has
had her anomalies, but they have been amply
justified by their working, and it has only been
by their exaggeration that they have ever proved ,
mischievous. But the first thing, says the ,
President, is to restore the balance, to repair
the Union, to mend the barriers and retain as |
much as is allowable of the old state of tilings. ,
After that, and in due time, he intimates
cautiously, it may he necessary to proceed to
an enlarged and comprehensive definition of
the citizen. That is the order taken by a man
who has hitherto shown singular sagacity and
firmness. It is the precise contrary of the order !
taken by her Majesty’s advisers. Though, as it
appears, with quite as great difficulties belore
them as the President, and with quite as little
intention of meeting those difficulties, they
nevertheless will take, first, the definition (if
the citizen, partial and unfair as it must be, and
postpone to the* indefinite future the recon
struction —thnt is, in our ease, the distribution
of scat*. They do not even propose to enfranchise
our millions of field laborers —hut they have a
franchise to give and citizens to make ; and this }
they will do out of hand, let who may do the ,
rest, if it ever be done.
Hitting ail Abound. —At a uggro
held at the rooms of the Washington Union
League on Wednesday night, the Hon. A. A.
Bradley, a negro lawyer from Boston, recently
requested to leave Savannah, walked into the
President, the Senate, Rebel Generals and the
Freedmcn’s Court after the following fashion :
He spoke of the action of the Senate on the
admission of Colorado, which he called a step
backwards, as admitting Colorado with a con
stitution rejecting black voters. He then treat
ed on the reconstruction question, and said
nobody in the South can be elected to office un
less he was a rebel general. The mayor of our
city (Savannah) was a rebel general. When
our Moses ordered an election we could elect
no one but a mayor who had ordered a negro to
be imprisoned and whipped just for wishing to
be loyal. He (the Savannah mayor) is now
hand and glove with the Fenians, and had the
speaker arrested and put into Fort Pulaski for
one year for circulating a petition, while John
Mitchel was released to make trouble. He
spoke of United. States arms being sold to ne
groes by the soldiers, and an order being subse
quently issued to reclaim all the arms, and
therefore the United States was guilty of steal
ing. _ [A voice, “Shame.”] The speaker then
detailed several highly colored narratives of
outrages on the negroes in the South, and was
severe on the Freedman’s Bureau Court because
rebel lawyers were admitted to those courts
while colored lawyers were excluded.
Squeezed Lemons. —The NYw York Express,
ol a late issue, contained the following :
Disabled Soldiers Starving. A large
number of soldiers, disabled during the late
war, it is said, are now in a starving condition
in Brooklyn. At the last meeting of the Array
and Navy Association, it was reported that
cases of death from starvation had actually oc
curred. The families of those who have fallen
upon the battle-field are permitted to drag out
a miserable existence.
Upon this the News well remarks :
Had such a statement as the above gone forth
in regard to any community of negroes in the
South, how promptly would the Radicals have
declared that “ rebel barbarity” was at work to
starve the “helpless blacks,” and how vigorous
ly would the Freedmen’s Bureau have set about
relieving their necessities ! But as it is only
white men, women and children who are starv
ing, it makes no matter.
The Washington Artili.ert. —We devoted
a paragraph, yesterday morning, to this celebrat
ed corps, a synopsis of whose history has been
published in the Picayune. An old member
called upon us yesterday for the paper—lie had
been taken prisoner late in the war, and had
lost the run of the history of his command. We
lent it to him, for we could not absolutely part
with so interesting a document, and we watched
the glistening eye with which he read the final
record “guns buried and carriages destroyed.”
We take this occasion to observe that, so far as
our recollection extends, this is the only artil
lery corps which has become historically re
nowned. History and biography are full of
notices of this and that regiment or brigade,
and the tenth legion shares the immortality of
Rome’s greatest military genius, but it was re
served for the Washington Artillery to inscribe
its title, first of that arm, upon the scroll of
lame, as a distinct command.

The Confederate Loan.
Washington, April 30.
The Secretary of State, 113' direction of the
President, has examined certain papers submit
ted to him, relating to the late Confederate
loan. Among them is a communication dated
London, March 10th, 1866, and signed by order
of Sir Provo Wallis. K. C. D., E. Morgan, Sec
retary, Francis Phillips, C. M. T. Weston, W.
M. Morgan and J. M. Harvey.
The plan which they propose is that the
United States Government shall furnish to that
committee a copy of the contract which they
say was made between Erlanger & Co., of Pa
ris, and the late Confederate Government, at
Richmond, together with the particulars of the
i settlement of the same.
The committee promise that the outstanding
Confederate cotton loan bonds shall he deliver
ed up to agents of the United States for cancel
lation, the bondholders to guarantee that either
they or their friends will subscribe forthwith to
a new loan, to he created by the cotton and to
bacco States, for £5.000,000, at 50 per cent.,
payable in London, the money to he used sole
13’ in re-developing the revenues of these States.
In the event of the credit of the Southern
States liei ng restored through the influence ot i
the last mentioned operations, a Second loan of
£5,000,000 is to be taken at 00 per cent, within
three months after the placing of the first loan
upon the market.
In the event of such second loan being suc
cessful, then a loan for £10,000,000 is to be
taken at 70 per cent, after a like interval of time.
After receiving the above mentioned and
other communications submitted, tho Secretary
of State says: “ I am of the opinion that neith
er the nature of these several communications,
nor the matters discussed therein, nor the form
in which they are therein treated, nor the char
acter of their authors, nor that of their agent,
is such as to deserve consideration on the part
of the Government of the United States.”
Draining the Everglades.—We are in
formed that the Trustees of the International
Improvement Fund have made an agreement
with Mr. Wm. 11. Gleason, that promises to re
claim and bring into cultivation a large portion
of swamp and overflowed lands bordering upon
the Everglades on the Southeastern coast, of
Florida. Mr. Gleason luia been for some months
engaged in prospecting that portion of our
State which lias heretofore been almost a terra
incognita, and lie believes that “something can
be made ofit.” The climate is salubrious and
delightful beyond any other in Hie L T nited
States. Tropical fruits of every description
grow all the year round and attain the greatest
perfection ; oranges, lemon.-, limes, cocoa nuts,
pineapples, guavas, «fco., grow naturally ami
with very little cultivation. Sisal, hemp, wild
flax and eompte or arrow root, of the best
kind, can there be raised or found in the forests.
All that is wanted to make this one of the finest
countries in the world is that energy and intelli
gent enterprise without which the advantages
of soil or climate cannot be made available for
the benefit of n»an. Into this wilderness Mr.
(ileason proposes to go and try what can be
done with it. He is a man of energy, perse
verance and intelligence, not visionary but prac
tical, and he believes that he can bring inimi- j
gration and wealth into these waste places. I
Ma - success attend him. If lie shall show us |.
the wa3’ to make this portion of our State hab
itable and profitable, lie will do a good thing j
for our whole people.— Floridian.
Then and Now.—A rather amusing account |
is told of an examination of two negroes in a j
county below Columbus. For some offense j
they were required to give a bond or go to jail, i
Court would not meet in several months. Ne- |
grocs couldn’t {five bond, and said they would j
rather take a whipping thin goto jail, justices,
after much persuasion op their part, consented
that darkies could take the hiding, provided
they would fiud somebody to do it. A man was
found. Darkies prepared themselves for the
lashing. Man wouldn’t whip unless he was
paid. Darkies asked charges. Three dollars
and a quarter. Wouldn’t strike a lick without
the funds. Money forked over, and the warm
ing, delivered in good style, cheerfully taken.
When turned loose, freedmen remarked, “de
< Buro’ haint done we dents no good.” Betore
the Bureau started up they said, when they
stole anything, they got a hiding, and all was
over. Now they had to pay or be sent to jail,
and if they asked for a whipping in the place of j
such punishment, they had to.p.ay somebody to
do it. Darkies didn’t exactly understand such
" doius.” — Columbus (Ga .) Sun.

[ From the Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth
Baptist Church, Philadelphia.)
Gentlemen : I have recently been laboring under the
distressing effects of indigestion, accompanied hy a
prostration of tiie nervous system. Numerous reme
dies were recommended hy friends, and some of them
tested, but without relief. Your Hoofland’s German
Bitters were recommended hy persons who had tried
them, and whose favorable mention of these Bitters
induced me to try them. 1 must confess that I lmd an
aversion to Patent Medicines from the “thousand and
one” quack u Bitters,” whose only aim seems to he to
palm off sweeten and drugged liquor upon the comniu*
nity in a sly way, and the tendency of which, 1 feats in
to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning
that yours was really* a medicinal preparation, 1 took
it with happy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt
and gratifying. 1 feel that I have derived great and
permanent benefit from the use of a few bottles.
Very respectfully, yours,

I have derived decided benefit from the use of Hoof
land’s German Bitters, and feel it my privilege to re
commend them as a most, valuable tonic, to all who are
suffering from general debility or from diseases arising
from derangement of of the liver.
Yours, truly, E. D. Fendall.
[From Rev. D. Morrigo, Pastor of the Passyunk Bap
tist Church, Philadelphia. 1
From the many respectable recommendations given
to Dr. JI Gotland’s G erman Bitters, I was induced to j
give them a trial. After using several bottles J found
them to be a good remedy for debility, and a most ex- j
cellent tonic for the stomach.
D. Mkrrigb.
[From Rev. Wm. Smith, formerly Pastor of the Vin
centown and Millville (N. J.) Baptist Churches. 1
Having used in my family a number of bottles of
your Hoofland’s German Bitters, I have to say that I
regard them as an excellent medicine, specially adapt
ed to remove the diseases they are recommend lor.
They strengthen and invigorate the system when de
bilitated, and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss
of appetite, Ac. 1 have also recommended them to j
several of my friends, who have tried them, and found
them greatly beneficial in the restoration of health.

(From the Rev. Joseph 11. Kennard, Pastor of the

I have been frequently requested to connect my name
with commendations of different kinds of medicines,
but regarding the practice as out of my appropriate
sphere, I have in all cases declined; hut with a clear
proof in various instances, and particularly in my own
family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoofland’s German
Bitters, 1 depart for once from my usual course, to
express ray full conviction that, lor general debility of
the system, and especially for Liver Complaint, it is a
safe and valuable preparation. I'n some cases it may
fail; hut usually, I doubt not, it w’ill be very beneficial
to those who suffer from the above causes.

THE KIDNEYS.
The kidney" are two in number, situated at tho up
per part of the loin, surrounded by fat and consisting
of three parts, viz: The Anterior, the Interior, and
the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues
\ or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and
I convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a conductor
I also, terminating in a single tube and called the Lre
' ter. The ureters are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the Lower,
the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upperexpels, the
lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without
the ability, others urinate without the ability to retain.
This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these affections we must bring into action
the muscles, which are engaged in their various func
tions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may
ensue.
The reader must also bo made aware, that however
slight may be tho attack, it is sure to affect his bodily
health and mental powers; as our flesh and blood are
supported from these sources.
GOUT, OH RHEUMATISM.
Rain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above
diseases. They occur in persons disposed to acid
stomach and chalky concretions.
THE GRAVEL.
The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treat
ment of the kidneys. The organs being weak, tho
water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to
remain jit becomes feverish and sediment forms. It
is from this deposit that the stone is formed and gravel
ensues.
DROPSY
is a collection of water in some parts of the body, and
bears different names, according to the parts affected,
viz: when generally diffused over the body, it is called
i Anasarca; when of the abdomen, Ascites; when of
the chest, Hydrothorax.
TREATMENT.
llelmbold’s highly concentrated compound Extract
, Huehu is decidedly one of the best remedies tor dis
j eases ot the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical swell
| ings, rheumatism, and gouty affections. Under this
j head we have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain
! in passing water, scanty secretion or small and fre
quent discharges of water, Strangury or stopping of
water, Hematuria or bloody urine, Gout and Rheu
matism of the kidneys, without any change in quan
tity, but increase of color or dark water. It was al
ways highly recommended, by the late Dr. Rhysick,
m these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion and
excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which
j the watery or calcareous depositions and all unnatural
enlargements, as well as pain and inflammation, are
j reduced, and is taken by
MEN, WOiIEN AND CHILDREN.
Directions for use apd diet accompany.

| 11. T. Hki.mboi.d, Druggist.
Dear Sir : I have been a sufferer, for upwards of
twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney afl'ec
[ lions, during which time I have used various medici
nal preparations, and been under the treatment of the
most eminent physicians, experiencing but little re
lief.
Having seen vour preparations extensively adver
tised, I consulted with my family- physician in regard
lo using your Extract Biirhn.
1 did this because I had used all kinds of adver
tised remedies, and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious: in tact, I despaired of ever get
ting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter
unless f knew of the ingredients. It was this that
prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised
that it was composed of bcchu, cubkbs and juniper
berries, it occurred to me and my physician as an ex
cellent combination, and, with.his advice, after an ex
amination of tile article, and consulting again with
the druggist, I concluded to try it. 1 commenced its
use about eight months ago, at which time I was con
fined to my room. From the first bottle I was aston
ished and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt
' much like writing you a full statement of my ease at
that time, but thought my improvement might only
lie temporary, and therefore concluded to defer and see
if it would effect a perfect Cure, knowing then it |
would lie of greater value to you and more satisfactory !
