The Galveston Newt ha.- a very .-cnaibic article respecting the obligations of the .South to the freedmen. Referring to the operations of the ''American Freedmen v s Union Comnii :-ior.,' Chief Ju-ticc Chase, president, the Nrw» ronuatks as follow.-: We hear of a goo<l deal being done for the education of the freudtuen at various places by the people of the South : yet we : have no doubt that the unsettled condi - tion of affairs and the general poverty pre vent the South from giving this subject a sufficient share of attention. This being ; the ease, perhaps there Would be no im j propiety in accepting the offer of aid from the society above named, solely for the purpose of establishing and carrying on | schools for the freedmen. We hav- no : doubt that any community which desires ■ a school for freedmen could contribute something to that end, furnishing n house ; and teacher, if nothing more, and that rep | re.-entation- to that effect would secure the additional aid that might be needed, i There should be no backwardness in this i matter, because wc all admit that the ! freedmen must be educated, that the South should contribute as much a.; possible to | that object, and that there is no reason why the benevolent in all parts of this 1 country and of Europe should hot unite in i the work. Union in matters of this kind, which -hould have nothing to do with pol j itics, might do much to break down pre judice, -to make the people of all sections | better acquainted, arid to bring the bles j sings of peace and prosperity upon the I land. The South bus nothing to lose by pur suing a conciliatory and high-minded course on al! matters connected with the interests of the freedmen. iti- universally admit ted that they served quite as well a.s could have been expected during their slavery ; that their conduct during the war was not only unexceptional but highly praiseworthy, and that their bearing since then, considering all the circumstances, has not been unworthy of their past re-, cord. True, political excitement hasin jured them, but not yet t-o the extent that might have been expected, and the heinous crimes recently committed by some of the more depraved .should not be permitted to injure our estimation of the race. But we need not write on this subject as though there were any necessity for exhortation or argument so far as the welfare of the colored people is concerned. 1 here ckn be no doubt whatever that the white people of the South are true friend.-: of the frecd men. Nothing has: happened to destroy the affection lor them which was produced by the domestic relations of'the past, and wc believe there i nothing which our peo ple would not do to help the freedmen in the proper discharge of the Julies of their new situation. If anything be lacking it is wholly the result of circumstances ; and this is our only reason for suggest jog the co-operation to which we have leierred. It is generally believed, ’.vc know, that the people oi tin- North and South cannot "‘get. along” together in the education of the freedmen, and that the Southern peo ple would do better in that matter if the Northern people were to leave it alone. This, however, is not to he expected. Tito North will concern itself on the subject, whether we do -or not, and we therefore submit that it might be sound policy for us. both with reference' to our relations to the freedmen and to the other sections of the Union, to take the ground that the co operative is the right method of doing the work. The North is perfectly able to con tribute ; it is alike hoi duty and her pleas ure to do so ; and even if some unpleasant results were to arise in tome instances from our co-operation, it is altogether like ly that these would be as nothing com pared with the better efforts which may reasonably be expected to foilpw. This is the age of associated effort, audit is only in proportion as men overcome apathy and prejudice in favor of this policy that, they need expect to prevent the most serious evils. Nothing can lie effected by aloof ness, or standing on dignity ; but almost everything may be accomplished by the benevolent energy which fulfills its desire of doing good to others by seizing for that purpose every help that my be Offered. We are strongly impressed with the be lief that by waking up fully on all subjects of this kind, the South might, without any aerilice of principle, do a great deal to prevent threatening evils and effect cor responding good. Thus the asperities and passions of politics would be soothed down, misconceptions and prejudices, antagonism of race and section, full of bad portent, would bo removed, and all the blessings of peace find order secured iu the place of agitation, anarchy and destruction. The How In the Grand Jury. BOTIS AND HAWXHURST. The telegraph announced the occurrence of an altercation in the Grand Jury Room of Underwood’s Court, on Monday, at Rich mond. between Hon. John Minor Bolts, foreman of the jury, and Mr. John ilawx hurst, President of the Republican Com vention, resulting in the latter resigning his position on the Grand Jury. The follow | lug >s MR. BOTTs’ .STATIIME.NT Off TUB AVFAIIt. This statement gives the history, briefly, l of the way Hie Convention was managed. .Mr. Butts says: When 1 came into the court room I -poke to the jurymen therein assembled. Mr. Hawxhurst advanced and extended his hand. I said; “Mr. Hawxhurst don’t you speak to me ; you have forfeited all claims to speak to me or any other gen tleman ; vour eonduet has been most out rageous. lie asked : “What have I idone?” I said ; “You have done every thing you ought not to have done.” He treked what it was, when I told him “we had met here some six or eight weeks ago to seo if we could harmonize all of our ! difficulties ami bring the two wings of tho party together to organize the Republican : party in such a way as to secure our suc ; cess. By that agreement the convention which 1 had called at Charlottesville, to be held on the Dh of duly, \va.- transferred to 1 the city of Richmond, to lie held ou the ; Ist of August, when we were to have met , i.m terms of politi .’.l equality. Our wing of ; the party, representing some forty five or - fifty thousand voters in the State, , being themselves gentlemen of re j spoccability, influence, and for the most part hire- property holders, numbering be tween 2 Ml or 300, came here, at great in convenience and expense, to attend that Convention. We had been frequently ! toki that, you and others were constantly , urging the colored people to be on hand to ; fill the house the moment the doors wore opened. Mr. ilunnieutt had assured me that seats should bo reserved tor every ! member of the delegation, who should be 1 treated with the utmost respect and cour tesy. Instead of which, ou roe morning 1 ot the Ist of August, by some means you obtained jiossession of the keys of the house, sneaked around to tlie hack door, accompanied by a largo crowd of your pe culiar friends, whs'were made to occupy the platform and front seats, having at the same time from one to two acres of ground in front of me church crowded and packed with colored people, who, the moment the doors were opened, as previously in.-truet • and. rushed iu and occupied all the \- cant space in the house, to the exclusion of every gentleman from the .country in attendance on Convention. Finding that no business could be transact ed there, you finally adjourned to the Cap itol Square, where about five thousand persons, mostly colored men, were as sembled, which had more the appear ance of a riotous _ mob than a convention for business, and through which no gentle man would undertake to make liis way. •Over this body you and your townsman. George Tucker, took sole control, and w were not allowed any fair participation in I it. Wc then called a meeting of our con vention, to be held in the House of Dele gates at 8 o’clock that night, when we should have finished our business inde pendent of you or yours: but before tlio time of meeting we were informed that your mass meeting had adjourned iu a better spirit than had been exhibit- o i through the day, and had invited eo operatiou with the delegations to our convention next morning at 10 j o’clock, and had extended an in , citation to several gentlemen, myself ' among the number, to address the members iof your convention at tliat hour. We ap peared there, and before we were allowed to addrev thi m, or before we were invited | upon the stand, a resolution was offered and ! adopted declaring that the business of that I convention was completed, and they ad iourned Hue ihe, and then resolved them selves into a iu.-5 meeting, and in that : capacity alone were we allowed to address them. Now. Mr. Hawxhurst, your con duct has been such as not only to disgust every decent and respectable white man, hut there wasu't a respectable colored man i in the crowd that would not have lelt | ashamed to have been guilty of the con i duct you were, and therefore I don't care tu hold any intercourse with you." Mr. Hawxhurst -aid he would like to make an explanation. I said “I don’t want to hear any explanation from you. M hat Ive said I know to be trtm. and you can t cx ; plain it away. Here the matter ended. Mutation in Augusta. Editors Chronicle & Sentinel : —History afford- no example of a people who, en vironed by themostdisturbing, conflicting, and dopressin" circumstances, were forced, at the same time, to grapple with ques tion- of higher import, than Loose of the' South. The subject-matter of our people’s j present thoughts is made- up of questions j of a very complicated nature —chiefest \ amongst which, and the one claiming espe cial attention, is that of education. Always a subject of prime consideration, the im poverished condition of oar people has in vested it with an air of deeper interest and mere commanding importance. , Previous to the war, as upon ail things j else, -ave politics, the subject of education ; was looked upon by the great majority of j people, in ‘ a matter of course’ ’ light j In towns uni cities, private, schools to : which the “well to do” were alone able to ] .-end their children, flourished : and here j and there might have been found “free,” or, ■ as they are more frequently and inelegantly j styled, “poor schools.” Most of these j were conducted upon enlightened prinei- j pies, and were cleverly sustained by either ■ individual or State aid. The free schools j were, indeed, great “help-meets" to the less wealthy of every community. In the country, where there were telera- ; bly large neighborhoods, sometimes good ' schools were organized, to be conducted for ) a short time, five or six months at the far thest. In the more sparsely populated dis- ; tricts the people did not enjoy oven these i ';««.«"ad vantages. Another great, almost insuperable diffi- j oulty, against which large numbers have hud to contend, was their natural wan: of ap preciation of education. Among such people the inquirer would very frequently find heads of families who, being querried as to why they made no provision for the mental culture of their children, respond, "Ah! sir, I have managed to get thu.-far through the world without the accomplish ment of which you speak ; my children, I suppose, can do likewise.” They verily 7 believe that there is such a thing as a man made mad by too much learning. Who can tell how many thousands of minds, bright minds, have been allowed, in this the “Empire State of the South,” to go uneducated and undeveloped V However, it is not the writer’s purpose, at this time, to retrospect the “Educational Situation,” as ruling in the country ; he proposes to write a few things concerning education in Augusta, some of which, feeble at best, he trusts may arrest the at tention of certain thoughtful lovers of the great cause, lie believes that to be thoroughly canvassed, and properly acted upon, this all-important subject need only | be, in this matter, agitated. Augusta has always been distinguished for the accomplishments of her citizens; therefore it seems perfectly astonishing that she should have been so long (and still be) without, even the pretension to a regular Common School system. Her Church spires point heavenward from various localities within her limits; her ,Sabbath Schools are instrumental iu the accomplishment of great good, and their influence, like their reputation, extends over the whole State; her public buildings are, considering circumstances, fair to look upon, but were her history written to-day, the greatest meed of praise ever awarded an intelligent people, would necessarily be omitted ; she has no public schools that she can call her own. True, she has contributed to the support of certain institutions of learning. For in ,-tanee, her Board of Aldermen were made the guardians of the Ilaughton Institute, which was built by theliberalityofalamcnteu and intelligent citizen, who left funds suffi cicnt-forits.support. In days, now numbered with the past, the custom obtained with tlu- same officials, of appropriating an nuaily, the sum of five hundred dollars, for the benefit of the Augusta Free School j an old ei is hed institution, under the I control and patronage of a few public- ; spirited citizens. No appropriation of the kind has been made since the close of the war. These are the only instances in which, as a corjroration, the city has figured in the work of education. True, we have lost a great deal—lost property and ancient institutions. We have, so to speak, begun life anew; let us j commence it aright. Let us begin by layirnr the foundation-stone of education, upon which to erect future superstructures. We must abandon isolated notions; con form ourselves to the spirit of the times, which demand, as a surety for the future, the proper, systematical education of those growing up in our midst. Os county schools, there are within the city limits, quite a number, and all of them ■ are well attended. They are not suffi- i cient, though efficient. Other schools, ' one or two in each ward where there are ; none at present, might be put in success* i ful operation. In a word, Augusta ought, | herself, assume the responsibility and duty 1 of attending to her young people’s educa tion. Might we not reasonably expect great' good to accrue to our city by adopting some such plan as this ? Suppose that, at a conveniently early day, the city were to arrange for the conduct of two “free : schools” in each ward, one for white, | and the other for colored children ; and | two central schools for the city at large— ■ one for the whites ; the other for the i colored —all to be under the general super ; intendence of a competent gentleman, i whose whole - sympathies shall he known to bo thoroughly enlisted in the cause. The Richmond Academy building might be secured as a central school for the ! whites, and one equally as good might lie I procured for the other class. The idea is i this : The ward schools would, at stated I periods, report the names of all proficient, ; attentive pupils, as worthy candidates for ! admission into the central school, where I they might be prepared for college or ! active business life. The general superin j tendent should be required, by constant i communication with the teachers and j pupils of the different schools, to keep him ' self and the city posted as to the progress made therein : the efficiency of the schools, i etc., etc. Efficient teachers should be put hi charge of the several departments of I these ward schools. Persons should be ] elected to those positions who nave re solved to devote their lives to teaching. Transient instructors arc usually to be i avoided. Central schools would have the effect oj ; begetting, in boys and girls alike, a oom ! ineudable ambition, and inciting them to extra exertions, in order to admission within their halls. 1 This system might easily be supported : by means of a tax levied for that particular purpose. Os course, this is the grand 1 scale. We should have to begin upon a 1 more moderate one,.and gradually advance, a.s circumstances were more or loss favor able. From a system thus perfected, wc might hope to reap numbeiless benefits. There is hardly a doubt that, if a plan of this kind were adopted, and the intention of puttiug it into execution promulgated, fair h.-lp could be obtained at the hands us the Agent of the l’ealmdy fund. Not long since there appeared in the Atlanta papers, a statement to the effect that the Agent aforesaid had offered that city the sum of SS,OU>, upon condition that citizens should raise nn additional $6,000, all for educa tional purposes. Is August*, whose f people escaped the direst calamities of war, to be less active, less progressive than Atlanta ? More of the citizen* of Augusta arc now dependent upon free schools for the eduea ti >n ot their children than ever before. All are more or less interested in this sub ject—it is meet that they should be—for , this is our highest inter, st. 1 ’nity of effort, as in every other im portant enterprise, is essential to success in this. The writer's present humble en deavor is to Legi t in the people a due ap preciation of ti.is fact. Nothing that would tend to • lc\ ate the cause in ur midst ,-houid be left undone. There must be enthusiasm -there must be earnestness in I the matter. To whom have we a more un doubted right to look for these than to parents and to those who have the best interests of the country at heart ? It behooves citizens to encourage and sustain the schools nowin operation. Visit them and prove thereby tnai the teacher and pupils have your heartfelt sympathy : in the work in which they are engaged. It should be always remembered that a foacher must iive by teaching, and it should' not be forgotten that, in order to i the greatest possible achievements in ad vancing lus pupils, the teacher's mind should, within the bound; of all reason, be unembarrassed —that is, his salary should i-e made a certainty, payable promptly, at reasonable periods. After the arduous ■duties incident to the school-room have been performed, he should not lie ibreui to ! eugage in other callings for the purpose of providing ffir himself and family. His leisure hours should 'e devoted to recrea tion and study, the former being absolute ly demanded by reason of the exhausting nature of his duties, and the latter being necessary to the proper and faithful dis : charge of' those duties. He must not depend upon the store ci information laid up iu college days; this will soon have been exhausted, unless it be daily replenished. ; A true teacher fee's in duty bound, as he ought, that he -hould keep himself well 1 informed upon all -abject? of general in terest. These must be h;s invaluable as sistants in the great and responsible work of developing, and leading out into the ; inviting paths of literature, young an i iui ! mortal minds. If you wish your children to learn rapid ly and well, be sure to lend their in-truetor the encouragement and tangible assistance just mentioned. Iu conclusion, the writer desires to say that these rough-hewn thoughts are thrown out for the purpose, it possible, of i stirring up debate upon the merits oi too i question under consideration, hoping that out of the same, incomparable good to the city and her eliiidren may come. Junior. [COMMUNICATED. 1 To the Editor* Chronicle & Sentinel ■ “Lot there bo no strife between thee and me ; for we are brethren.’’ It seems to lie the general habit of poli ticians and of those who are seeking power at the hands of the people, to indulge in vitur--ration and abuse of all who happen to differ with them in sentiment. It is strange that in a Christian land such should be the ca-e, but is lamentably true. One would think that the afflictions, through which as a people we have passed, would have had a tendency to produce among ns a feeling of brotherly love, even if it had failed to produce unity of sentiment. But while unity of sentiment in the thou sands who compose the population of a State is an impossibility, yet if people practiced truly the Christianity which they profess to believe, brotherly love would dwell in the hearts of all. What good can be accomplished by vilification, contention and strife? If’ I hold one set of political views, and my neighbor the reverse: if I believe that one line of policy will promote the interests of my country, and my neigh bor holds opinions conflicting with mine, why should we not cheerfully concede to each his own peculiar views, and not re sort to vituperation or abuse because the one fails to convince the other ? If, as people, wc truly and sincerely desire peace, we must stop all such practices as these, and cherish in our hearts the love of peace. Had the people of the United States, both North and South, been a peace-loving and God fearing people, we would never have been cursed by the terrible revolution which has desolated so many homes and bereaved so many hearts. And now that war has ceased to rage, if the people of this coun try truly desire to see our land blessed with peace, they must be willing to concede to every man perfect liberty oi political and religious opinion. They must go still tartlier, and be willing to forgive and forbear with each other, and work together for the good of one common country. Wo must teach our children, and our children’s children, to love and seek after peace, and to shun everything that would lead to war or strife. Moreover, wc must concede to every man that purity of motive which wc claim for ourselves. When wc do this, then we may look for a true and lasting peace ; for if our ways are pleasing unto God, then His mercies will be extended unto us, and the evils which curse us now will bo removed i’ar from us. “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He maketh even liis enemies to be at peace with Him.” A Confederate Soldier.

Oil the 26th I was nominated as Rep resentative by the Conservative Conven tion, with other truly loyal men, and on the 9th of July I wrote a letter exposing the infamous character and intentions of the “Loyal League No. 1,” of this place. In doing this 1 did nothing more than my duty, and I now r pledge myself never to desist until I expose every member of that, secret infamy to public scorn. Sir, you say that the “principles and purposes of the Union League of America are before the public without reserve, and arc confidently submitted for the approval of every man.” I answer: The Leagues of this State are base infamies, creeping like reptiles in the dark, unseen and un known. Their members dare not reveal their names nor show their hands, but shrink from the public view like guilty criminals, to plot in the dark among igno rant freedmen, fit tools for such political scoundrels and sneaks, among whose members may be found not a few of the trash which fell from the wheels of our army as it moved homeward. Those creatures, constrained to remain | behind among our pillaged hen-roosts, sor 1 fear of the Sheriff at home, now want to ! rule tills down-trodden, submissive people, I and, for that purpose, have sworn in, be- j fore blue lights, cross swords, tlio flag, the Bible and our good old unaltered Con stitution, 43,000 negroes to do their bidding, and the bidding of the second Jeffreys, whoso election had thus been made sure. This is the working of your secret. league —45,000 enfranchised negroes, aud 80,000 disfranchised citizens, the entire intellect and manhood of our State, trampled on by wretched and now doomed freedmen, led on by the*offal of the late Federal army. In the name of God pause ! look at this ! picture, the fruit of your infernal secret organizations. Are these the principles of the Union League ? Are these the triumphs you speak of? Sir, your leagues and leaguers, like the j secret societies of France, are the forerun ners of anarchy and bloodshed. I spoken of “our doomed freedmen,” and doomed they tiro. Acting with a minority of their own State, led on by the trash of other States, for the purpose of crushing out the rights of an oppressed people, a breach will be made, deep and wide as the gulf of human woe. Only this inl’ernal policy wa- necessary to make reconciliation impOsJblc, to fill with undying hate every manly bosom of our State. ’Tis done. A war of races is inevitable, and who can doubt the issue? Where is the red man of’the forest Sir, look at our State._ We are in the Union ? We are citizens of tlie United States, yet that Government of which tve form an ac credited ana actual part stands passively by, seeing a modem Jeffreys and his vile minions deprive mi,ooo of our best men of citizenship, aud place the heels of 45,000 ignorant freedmen on our necks. Aud all this without impeachment, without a hear ing, without n trial. Book at it. Try it with any of your Northern States, if you dare, and von would start a conflagration that would burn up to Heaven aud down to hell, and consume every Radical “ism” and its advocates with the vengeance of a wronged nation. I must conclude by saying, that, as : r as the Government is concerned, it has broken every pledge made to this con quered, submissive, patient, down-trodden people. Radicals may amend the Consti tution, hem in and east out States, wink at the tyrant Parson of Tennessee, place bayonets at every cross-road, coerce and destroy, hut this will only add to tlie na tion’s weakness. Its strength is in th love of the people. T t must win us back by magnanimity, by mercy and kindness other means would be madness itself— madness as great as that by whieh your leagues have already inaugurated a war of raees in the South, .

Closing Scene iu the Surratt Trial. Washington, August 10, p. m. —At one o’clock the prisoner was brought into the Court room and assigned the scat oc cupied by him during the trial, beside his counsel. lie came into court smiling and seemed in good spirits, as he chatted with his counsel, Mr. Merrick made an allu sion to a report that an attempt would be made at rescue, whereat the prisoner seemed much amused. At five minutes past one Judge Fisher resumed his seat upon the bench. Mul lery, the crie>', called the Court to order. Marshal Phillips was directed to bring the jury down. 15y this time the room was much crowded. The jury was brought in at eight minutes past one, and, by direc tion of Judge Fisher, the names of the jurors were called. Middleton, the clerk, addressing the jury, said: “Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed-upon a verdict?” Mr. Todd, foreman, said : “W c have not been able to agree, ’ ’ Jttdge Fisher said : I have received the following letter from the Jury; To Hon. Geo. P. Fisher, in charge of Criminal Court: Sir : The Jury in tlio case of the U. S. vs. John 11. Surratt, most respectfully state that they stand precisely now as when they fir.-t balloted upon entering the room, nearly equally divided, and they arc firmly convinced that they cannot possibly make a verdict. We deem it our duty to the court, to the country and in view of the condition of our private affairs and sit uation of our families, and in view of the fact that the health of several of our mem bers is becoming seriously injured under the protracted confinement, to make this statement, and ask your honor to dismiss us at once. Most respectfully submitted. W. B. Todd, llobt. Ball, J. IL Barr, Thos. Berry, Geo. A. liohrer, (J. G. Schneider. James J. Davis. Columbus Alexander. Win. McLean. Benj. F. Mor rell. 13. K. Gettings and IV. W. Birth. After the letter had been read, Judge Fisher asked if anything was to be said on either side why the Jury should not be discharged. Bradley said the prisoner did not con sent. and, if there was any discharge, it would be against the protest of the pris oner. Carrington said he would leave the whole matter with the Court. Judge Fisher said he had already receiv ed two or three notes of a similar char acter to the one read. If there was any possibility of the Jury agreeing, he would not object to keeping them for a reasona ble time; but, as he was informed they could not possibly agree, he would dis charge them. The Jury was, accordingly, disenarged at ten minutes past one o'clock. The Jury then left the court-room. Judge Fisher then immediately read the following; “I have now a very unpleasant duty to discharge, but one which I cannot forego. On the second day of July last, during the ingress of the trial of John H. Surratt for the murder of Abraham Lincoln, immediately after the Court had taken a recess until the following morning, as the preriling Justice was descending from the bench, Joseph H. Bradley, Esq., accosted him in a rude and insulting man ner, charging the Judge with having of fered him (Mr. Bradley) a series of insults from the beach from the commence ment of the trial. The Judge disclaimed any intention whatever of passing any iireuit. and areured Mr. B. that he enter tained for him no other feelings but those of respect. Mr. Bradley, so far from accepting this explanation or disclaimer, thereupon threatened th: Judge with personal chastisement, as he understood. No Court can administer justice or liye if its Judges are to be threatened with personal violence on all occasions, whenever the counsel may be excited by any imaginary insult. The offence of Mr. Bradley is one whieh even his years will not jialliate ; it cannot be overlooked nor go unpunished as j a contempt of Court: it is, therefore, I ordered that his name be stricken from ; the roll of attorneys practising in this ; Court.” Bradley immediately rose to his feet and asked if the Court had adjourned. Judge Fisher—“lt has not, sir." Bradley—“Then, sir, in the presence of Court and this assembly, I hereby pro nounce the statement iust made by the Judge as utterly false in every particular.” Judge Fisher, interrupting—“ Crier, ad journ the Court.” Muilery, the crier—“ This Court is now adjourned. ’ ’ Bradley—“ Well, then, I will say now” — Fisher, rising to leave the bench —“You can say what you please, sir, and make a speech to the crowd if you like.” Bradley—“ You have no authority to dismiss me from the bar ; that must be the act of three of the J udges of the Supreme Court.” Judge Fisher made a reply, which was inaudible to our reporter, and then left the room, followed by a large crowd of per sons. Immediately after leaving the court-room, Judge Fisher proceeded to the street and entered the car. He was fol lowed closely by Bradley, who entered the car, and, stepping up to Judge Fisher, handed him a note. Judge Fisher took the note, rose to his feet, opened it, and began to read it; and Mr. Bradley turned and left the oar, around whieh an excited crowd had gathered. It is understood the note was a chal lenge. Several police sprang into the car, and officer McKinney slipped to the side of Mr. Bradley, and remained in that position while he remained in the ear. Leaving the car, Mr. Bradley passed through the crowd and entered his office, and was followed by several friends be longing to the Bar. A* large crowd imme- ’ diately gathered on the corner in front of his office. After remaining in his office a few moments, Mr. Bradley came out, arm-in-arm with his brother, Charles Bradley, Esq., of the National Bank of the Republic, and proceeded down Louis iana Avenue, followed by a crowd of friends and curious persons, who excitedly discussed the proceedings which had just transpired. In the meantime Judge Fisher resumed his seat in the oar and continued his perusal of the note. When the- car moved off a number of his personal friends had entered the oar and a great deal of appre hension was manifested of a personal en counter between the Judge and the deposed lawyer, Washington, August 10, p. m.—On account of apprehensions of yellow fever becoming epidemic, General Grant orders that officers absent on leave from Louisiana and Texas may, upon application to the Adjutant General, have leave extended to tho 15th of October. Washington, August 10, p. m.—A movement is on foot to indict Bradley for sending Judge Fisher a challenge, but it appears that Bradley simply accepted Judge Fisher’s verbal challenge, offered during tho difficulty, whieh led to Brad ley’s debasement. 'J he dilemma is, if Bradley is punishable lor accepting, Judge Fisher is liable for Sending. The penalty is fine and imprisonment for five years. All interest in the Surratt trial yields to the Fisher and Bradley quarrel. The jurors for conviction are: Todd, Schneider, McLean and Barr.

The following notice is published very conspicuously in this morning’s Herald : THE NEW CRISIS—EX-SENATOR HARRIS, Off NEW YORK, ON THE PRESENT CON DITION OP TIIE COUNTRY. New York, August 8,1867. To the Editor of the. Herald : I thank you for your manly announcement in this morning’s Herald, in the article headed the “New Crisis.”. Your views in.that article are so wholesome that I cannot leave the city this morning, being transient ly hero, without expressing my gratitude. I assure you, sir, that the present effort of party leaders to secure political power by making the Southern States negro States, is most alarming, and the people of the North must not allow its success, if they value their own freedom and prosperity. If ■ the people stop to think they will spurn such an attempt with indignation. Nothing but false issues can possibly allow suuh a ruinous project to succeed. To cheat the people, the advo cates of this nefarions scheme will keep be fore them the idea of martyrdom, and all that sort of thing, hut the true issue should he ever present to our minds, and martyrs rewarded at les3 expense than the over throw of our institutions. Now, sir, I have done my humble part in the late war for the Union. Two of my sons have fallen under the Union flag, and my part has been in contribution, and not in the recep tion of a penny’s profit during the strife ; but never have I wished anything but a restored Union. For this, and thi.-q alone, I have sacrificed, and not for the ele vation oftlic negro nor the disfranchisement of the people of the Southern States. If the people of the South are not to be re stored to the Union, then the old copper head cry that the Union could not he re stored by arms is verified. The idea that the South must he Africanized before its States arc allowed to return is an admis sion that the war has been a wicked failure, and has been waged for the destruction of thcrcpublic. It is not a debatable ques- I tion. We did not send our sons to die for the erection of negro States in the South. I appeal to the great masses in the North, who generously j poured out their blood in the conflict, if j this was their object? Mr. Editor, you have hit a tender chord in your remarks this morning, and I know it will awaken the sleeping sense of the people on this crisis. I have purchased a plantation in Alabama, and contem plate a removal there, and encouraging others in tho North to follow me; hut, if that State is to he a negro State, farewell to my purchase. The reasons are obvious. The fanatics may not see them, but men of common sense can. I thank you again, from my heart. Ira E. Harris.
