That the United States Government intends tv
CHrrj ont thoroughly, evi-ry principle of ju* tico is
tho restoration of private rights and property in
its use and under ita control now in tho "South, we
do not for a moment doubt. It bas already ex
hibited praiseworthy indications of its policy in
that respect. We baro with much aatiafactien
noticed reeontly tho resumion by government,
of tho ranous Railrosde and mndry other private
property throughout the South to their legal rep
r?santatives and owners. - Thia, we consider right,
just, and at least conciliatory. For gerernmont
to pursue any contrary policy, in our cpinion at
thia time would be at opee to pallis h acts viola
tive of ita character furequity, and of ita avowed
generous and' magnanimous feelings toward a
crushed and fallen peoplo.. We de net believe
that it will. - To encourage, restore ead foster
concord, prosperity and happiness aaong all
?laases and profesiibns of. our people, we believe
will be the aim of our government, and tb ?it that
aim will bo steadily and respectfully pursued.'
While therefore, we Gav? been mueb plussed with
the a?te and straightforward sad constitutional
eouree of President JOKNSOM this far, in his offi
cial life, and with his integrity snd unbending de
termination to do what he fuels to be right in all
things, we yet have te learn of '.ho firtt itep taken

owners th? many Southern Newspapers,- which

DISGRACEFUL.-About. 9 o'clock Ia8t'DJght,
a-man-weariuo tho shoulderstraps of a Scc
oad Lieutenant in the United States Andy,
was seen walking .in company with a black
woman on tba public' streets. A crowd. of
soldiers-followed them fur .some distance, and
on arriving-at-thc corner of 9th and Chest
nut streets,, provoked tho" Lieutenant into
stopptng.and quarrelling with thctnr he otter-'
ing to whip any one of the party. A. large
crowd collected in a few- minutes to witness
the affair, which was disgraceful in thc ox
treme. A number of tho^party were armed
with bayonets and short swords, two netrrocs
in pa-ficular flourishing their weapons in a
very .ureateniiig-i?anner.
" Fortunately, thointerposit on of some offi
cer prevented any outbreak, and the lieuten
ant with his companion- slatted off. They
were fellowed again by the saine soldiers, and
were seen to enter a little hut on the corner
of 6th and Railrcad streets. Guards were
immediately procured, aud the officer and
his paramour caught in flagrante delicto, and
in the coBtumo of the Fcjee Isl?ndern. By
j-this time another large crowd had again.col

between her and the guards', she'refudng to
walk through the mud-in her bare feet, but
finally tho disgusting scene wes terminated
by tho guards marching off both of the cul

The Black Eep?biicaOj a paper very well
|;edited by a black rlergyinun ut New Orleans,
contains a correspondence between a commit
tee of the Freedmen and tue' editor, on the
{-prospects of the black population of tbe
South. From the reply of the aditor we copy
the following "paragraphs : .
The colored man and the white man cannot
"live together in Ibis country ; they must and
will have to. separate, unless the Congress of
tlie 'Nation shall,gi ve them, a .place to them
selves, for as it ,waa with Abraham and Lot,
.so it is-with us, the sooner wc seek a home
for our.rjsing generation, toe better -it will
I*e Tor as.
Oiir final destiny, as far as I can dimly-see',
is that in three hundred years it wili be a
rare thing to see a colored man tn this conn'
-try. Like the Indian, oar-race in this'coun'
try is destined to become extinct, unless wo
move tb ourselves ? Ai.d alter wc shall have
obtained the right of suffrage, I shalt strongly
advocate a treaty, stipulation bet *eti thc
United Stakes and.our race, whereby wo ina?
live under the Uni'ed States flag, but be
apart to on'rsolyes, and even then we become
dissatisfied, for there is no historian that can
.point but an instance where two nations have
eye? lived together happily.
One power must rule, and the other will
not be pleased ; and if we don't separate, in
less than three hundred "years the colored tuan
in thie country will bea color between the
Canadian-Indian and tho inhabitants of India.
Tttia country, gentlemen, is not ours in ray
opinion and as the question bas been asked
by a party of freedmen-, the above is my an
swer to the same* 1 could write a work" upon
this question, had I the means to pot it'in
[?circulation.
Tbe-imraigratton of the white race from
Europe must ^crease, whilst the immigration
of the black race munt decrease, as the slave
trade lm been stopped, and the res alt.if the
African race in-this couutry will jina)ly run
out, and ell the property wo may accumulate
for our rising gen'eratioivwili avail ns nothing
unless wo obtain a renting place of our own.
Moreover, experience teaches that no two
races can live together: happily under one
flag when they both aro properlv educated,
'-Therefore; gentlemen, my impartial opini?n
is, that this country is not oui home.
