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.

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.

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

to addrev thi m, or before we were invited

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.

“Lot there bo no strife between thee and

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.”

NO QUARTER FOR MIDNIGHT CONSPIRATORS,
Nashville, August 3, 1867.
J. M. Edmunds , 1} evident of the National
Council, Union League:
_ Sir—Your circular to subordinate Coun
cils of the Union League, which appeared
in the Press and Times of this place on the
3iat ult., seems to call for notice at iny
hands. The term “traitor,’” as used there,
whether used as applicable to my duty to
toy government or to the so-called “Union
Loyal League,” I hurl back with scorn in
your , teeth, and in the teeth of every
“Leaguer” in this distressed land, as a
base falsehood, an infamous, unmitigated
lie.
There lies my guage for every man who
does pollute his lips with so base a slan
der. whether in a vile secret combination
such as Nashville “Loyal League No. 1,”
or out of it. As vouchers for my record I
give you Andrew Johnson, Charles Sum
tier, Senator Fowler, the creature May
nard, General Garfield, of Ohio, Governor
Andrew, of Massachusetts, Generals Grant,
Thomas, Rosecratiz, and Buck On the
Stir of June, by much persuasion, I enter
ed the “Loyal League No. 1.” of this
place. On the 14th of the same month,
a letter of mine against Brownlow appear
ed in print. On the following evening 1
was ‘ expelled from the League for having
dared to write that letter.”
The letter will answer for itself, if you
will have the candor and patience to read
it. 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

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.

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.

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.

in no instance, exhibited disloyalty in our
pulpits or used them as political agencies
against said Government; that we have,
in no instance, propagated from them what
arc termed “rebel sentiments.” That
least of all, have we, in the discharge of
our ministerial duties, expressed, directly
or indirectly, a hope of the establishment
of any other than a republican form of
Government In this oountry.
