Private advices from New York (says the Mercury) assure us that ?here is a pause in pnb?c feeling on the subject of Southon*; re construction. The Herald is still marching on towards a Conservative policy, and the masse- begin to feel that the column of Radi cal relorm is now threatening the North as it long threatened .the South. The following leader appears ia the New York Heraldo! Snturda)* : Thc great national issue which will over shadow all other.* in our coining Fall elections in the Northern States will be the issue of ne gro supremacy hereafter i:i our national af ftirs, through a Southern negro political bal aree of power, contemplated and broadly ? iresjhadowed in the Congressional programme o! Southern reconstruction. Thu Republican party, from Abraham Lincoln's election to thu Presidency down to this scheme cf u transfer of political power iu the S-util from thc white to the black race, has been sustained by th-; almost unbroken voice of the North ern States in all its measures; first, for the .suppression of tho rebellion, and next, fir the reorganization of the rebe! States on the basis o( universal liberty. But ia this bold and .dangerous scheme of putting thc Southen p .lineal bala .cu of power ever our uatiutia ullairs ia the hand'of the blacks; just released .Iron* th; darkness and demoralization of ne gro slavery, it strikes us that only in anotli lotui thu Republicans am making the s?me l-lal mistake which was made by the lat National Dem .crecy when they attempted to perpetuate thc reign of the Southeru slave holding oligarchy, with ?htir laws, deen ::nd dogmas for the perpetuation and ex;en sion o! shivery itself. Thi-> is but the swinging pf the pendulum from one extreme to thc other-it is steerin Lum Scylla to Charybdis. .What peace harmony can we hope for in exchanging the c insolent rule of the late three hundred thou [ sand Southern slaveholders fjr the rule of ,c live hundred thousand Southern negroes who 1 but yesterday were slaves and the descendant^ 11 td ignorant slaves for hundreds of years? ^ The experiment involves an outrage upon t? e 1 enlightened public opinion of tue Northern c Stales which will surely il *.-et with a decisive rebuke. " We cannot doubt that this desperate expe- * riment of negro supremacy will be emphati- I cally condemned by the voice of New York in * our coming November election. A change c ol eight or ten thousand votes in the six hun c Jrcd and odd thousands of this great Com- c monweftlth is but a bagatelle ; bid it will suf fice to revolutionize (he State. Upon thi broad and distinct question of negro suprema- 1 cy, however, we may look fjr a change ol ? thirty, lorty or fifty thousand, ,.s compared 1 with the figures of our last November elec lion. In Ohio, with Yallandighaia and his | ' obnoxious copperhead notions again in th foreground, there rs but a gloomy prospect for the opposition elements. They catt, ot be combined on Yallindigbam or under Vallan- I digham. But iii Pennsylvania they have a I very fair prospect of anticipatiug in October the inevitable November reaction in New York. Upon this question we expect a po litical reaction in the North this Fall which will enforce some atteution and respect from Congress. It is to the people that wc look :br a rescue ; for while the laws stand as they are President Johnson can do very little to .stay their operation, however great thc num.- | f Lor of removals and changes he may make We look to thc people for a reaction arabs this perilous scheme fur fastening upon the country a controlling negro political balance of power. t COMMITTED TO JAIL.-A youngman by the name of John P. May was arrested and lodged in jail at this place on Saturday last, charged with having poisoned two cf his ?Aeogbildreu-one about threand the other about eleven years of ?gc. Suspicion wan excited by the two children dying suddenly, and the date of their deith being near to gethcr. and fcc other reasons. Accordingly, at the instance of the friends of the deceased children, their bodies were disinterred, and ?heir stomachs examined by a board of phy sicians, and an inquest held. On examination tn the ctomachs of thc children, the physi cians wera satisfied that they died ?rom strychnine; and the coroner's jury, after hav ing examined a number of witnesses, com mitted May to jail to await hi* trial. Wheth er the strychnine was givn: thc children by the stepfather with the ?mention of poisoning thom, or by mistake, is a matter to be deter minad hereafter, and lest we FhouH prejudice the pub?;.? against the unfortunate prisoner, we forbear further comment, preferring to give him the benefit of ihe maxim in law chat every marr is presumed to be innocent until proved otherwise upon furmal trial.

THE RIGHT WAY TO SERVJ* THEM_The Selma Ti m ex sajs: "A certain young gen tleman emissary, from Yankeedo-n, pas'cd through the county of Anson, a. ?hort time since, vending tickets oi certificates to the negroes, which he told them would entitle each bolder to forty acres of laud. He sold a large number to the negroes along his route si tiffy cents each.

WASHINGTON*, August 24, p. m_On proper medical recommendations thc President has suspended the ordrr assigning Thomas to tho command of the Fifth District and Sheridan will remain in command until relieved proba bly by Gen. Hancock. Geo. Thomas is trou bled with the liver complaint. The President will use his powers to ex haustion .in support of hi?; dignity and au thority before the Supremo Court. The pressure on the President for Cabinet changes is increasing. Thc following is represented as the con clusion of Gen. Sickles' argument, supporting his Order No. 10: "If the United States Courts in the rebel States bo allowed to con trol the military authority, the execution of the Reconstruction acts will, for obvious rea sons, soon become impossible. Some of these Courts will begin by declaring the acts of Congress void." Th? followine statement in relation to Gen era' Sickles' Order No. 10, and Executive or der" thereupon, will correct a current misap prehension. On the I4:h instant the instruc tions sent to General Sickles, excepting Uni ted States Courts from military orders, were susjended until his report and views upon the mutter could be received. On the 17ih the jommauding offieer of Wilmington re ported tlat the Attorney Genend Ind in structed the Marshal of North Carolina to proceed to enforce the execution of U. S. Courts, threatening prosecution against per sons preventing him. Instructions were is sued to Colonel Frank by General Sickles not to permit the order of any Court to bo en forced in violation" of existing orders, and to report fully ?DOD cases pending. These occurrences having been reported to the. War Department the instructions originally sent to General Sickles have been-withdrawn. "LEO," the Washington correspondent of| the Charleston Courier, &ays : The rumor of the day is, that the Cabinet crisis is deferred. If it be postponed till Con gress meet, it will not occur at all. Presi lent Pierce, about the time of his repudiation by the Democratic Nation*] Convention, as the nominee for the next term, began to be President, and took some important and dc -.isive steps in public affair*. So, some of his friends here declare now that ho did not begin .0 pl-.y President till after he was discarded for the succession. President Johnson is ?ardly thought of yet as a candidate for the lext term. He may be flittered with the idea that the people will take him up on the score )f his merits. Has not Gcn-ral Pope made a high bid for he Presidency ? He has shot a long way ihead of the bo* Jest aspirant in the land. iVliO among all the chiefs of the Radical part ?as gone to the same length with him ? Pos sibly Congress may come up to his mark. If | io we must have a new reconstruction scheme jased on his ideas. General Pope's letter to General Grant, ihowing the hopelessness of reconstruction n his District, produced much sensation here J emeral Grant docs not sympathize in such dews. Greeley is right. General Grant loes not go with the Radical extremists of ] Congress. General Pope is thc newest can didate of the Radical cxt.-emists for the Pres .lency. Ho would no doubt accept the office, ind consider it as his just due. But General j rant has not yet come to the conclusion that ie is either fit for the place or that he will :onsent to fill it. The politics cf this country have always re 'olved around the Presidency. It will be so igain. Thc Radical policy of Congress may >e lost sight of in presence of the pverpow ?ring question of the next Presidenc}'. Dem or?is and Radicals may be confused by this [uestion, and find themselves united fur a :oramon policy. The annunciation of the removal of Gen iral Sheridan from the command of the 5th District cr.-ates little or r.o sensation. It has ;een so long talked of that it interests no one. Politicians had "discounted the effect" of hat movement, as they say in Wall-street, ong ago. It has the less significance, for the ?eason that the successor of Gen. Sheridan is )f the same political party. General Thomas vas selected and preferred for the post by the President for thc very reason that it made no )olitical change, and the measure therefore eferred to no political object. Gen. Thomas s not obuoxious to the Conservatives, though n politics he ranks with the Radicals. Heis ?ot unpopular in Virginia, which is his native state, and where he has many relatives. On he whole, the change does not seem to be rery odious to the Radicals. Gen. Thomas las been spoken of as ene of their candidates br the Presidency. He will bc their candi late before Gen. Sheridan will be, uotwith ?tanding the wild predictions of Horace's, of he New York Tribune. There is a great lifference between a man with power and the ?ame man wi.hout power, and Secretary Stan ;on is no exception to this rule. The suspend :d Secretary may be commended but not neg ected. In a country of thirty millions of jeople no one man will ever be missed. A thange of the President's Cabiuet to-morrow, tould it be effected in accordance with his Trishes, would not make a nine day's wonder. The President has manifested lately an am jition to be President lor a while. He has jeen so nominally, but not in effect. He vould like to change thc barren sceptre for a ittle Executive power. Ile feels more com brtable aud independent and self possessed low since he has got rid of Stanton and ?nubbed Shoridan, than he has heretofore felt since his accession. From tho Charleston Courier.

The following aie extracts from a private ettci received by a gentleman in New York ?ty: RICHUOSD, TEXAS, August 7-Since my ast ray worst forebodings have become stem .ealties. Within the last ten dayo every Jotton leaf in every field in this county Tort Bend Co.), and the adjoining counties, is far as we have heard, has been swept off iy the dreaded Cotton worm At least 15, )0? baies of Cotton that had been made by >ur planters in this county alone, by untold ?ffbris and by tbe exercise of a perseverance md patience almost superhuman, have been, n this short space of time and by this little ^significant insect, swept out of existence. Our people were poor ; they attempted to .aise.this crop under greater embarrassments man I can describe; they expended their ast available dollar on tbe hazard of suceied ng, and liko tho womout voyager who is wrecked in sight of port, destroyed in thc /erv realization of his hopes, all is lost ! Yesterday a planter called on mo, who ??aid ten days ago, that he counted on saving 300 bales of Cotton-now he thought it im possible to save more than 10 bales. Ho :-ame to ask my permission to gather moss ff the trees on my land. Ho hope?, by *hip ping it to the mattrc?s-makers, to make enough to support his family. His is no ex ceptional cat-o.

Registration. The peoplo of this vicinity will boar in mind that Wednesday and Thursday, the 2Sth and 29tb, the Board of Registers will be in this placo. Turn out, and register, all ye who have tho privilege. We havo not been able as yet to get the result of Registration at any of the precincts in this District. We hope the Chairmen of the differont Boards will givo us the returns in their respective Kogiinunts in time for our next issue. Un tho subject of registration, wc beg to call attention to tho following from tho Yorkville Enquirer': WHY NOT REGISTER?-If any whito mnn, hav ing the right to register, has one soliiary reason, bvtter than a fool's reason, why he should not register, we thould be glad to hear it, or to hear of iu If you wish to carry out Mr. Perry's policy, or to oppose it, equally, you must register. If you are conservative-democratic-radical-negro dog-OT devil-in order to carry out your policy, you must first register. Prentice, of tho Louisville Journal, says : "Beforo wc would employ in ourbusinoss, or piit nciic ia our business, any man, white or black, who shou'd vote to disfranchise us and rob us of all civil rights, wo would aak thnt our head should bo choppel off and cant upon a dunghill." Every man feels the same way. An Excellent Vegetable. Maj. G. A. ADDISON has laid on our tablo a tremendous Egg-Plant,-and we aro under many tilunk ? to him for this kind remembrance of his Adcertiter friends. Maj. A., we are told, gener ally " bangs" out Buncombo in the way of choice Vegetables-which, by the woy, is quite a com pliment to his horticultural skill,-but when it comes to the culture of the Egg-Plant, he " bangs" out creation. His modus operandi of raising this most delicious esculent would bc a public favor, and we hereby call on him for iL Again we thank you, Major. Thc First Bale at Augusta. Stephen D. Heard, Esq., received at his ware house the first new bale of cotton that has come to this city this scsson. It is classed a good style of strict middling, weighs five hundred fifty pounds; 'was raised in Chamber county, Alabama, and purchased by Mr. H. F. Russell at 30 cents per pound. So says the Constitutionalist ol the 25th. Au Abomination. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMKS, of Boston, like many other sensible people, has a decided aver sion to long dresses, and expresses his sentiments iu reference to this filthy fashion-to ?ay tho lear^ of it-in the following words : But confound the make-believe women we have turned loose iu onr streets, where do they como from ? Not out of Boston parlors, I trust. Why, there isn't a beast or bird that would dreg its tail through tho dirt in thc way theso creatures do their dresses. Because a Queen ora Duchess wears long dresses on great occasion?, a maid of all work or a factory girl thinks she must make her self a nuisance by trailing through tic Streets, picking up and carrying about with her-bah ! that's what I call gotting vulgarity into your bones and marrow. Show over dirt is the attribute of vulgar people. If any mancan walk behind one of these wemen, and see what she rakes up as sho goes, and not fuel Fqucamish, ho has got a tough stomach. I would not lot ono of them into my room without sorviug thom as David did Saul at thc cave in tho wilderness-cutoff her skirts. Don't toll mo that k true lady ever sacrifices tho duty of keeping all about hor sweet and clean, to the wish of making a vulgar show. I doD't believe it of a lady. There aro somo things th*t no fashion has any right to touch, and cleanliness is one of these things. It is an insult to n re spectable laundress to carr j such thirgs into a houso for her to deal with. Thanks. Mr. Ww. T. GOLDING, who has just returned from Baltimore with alargo stock of Groceries, has our thanks for u batch of late Richmond and Baltimore papers. The Black Republic. The Now York Evening Express says : Keep an eye, reador, on tho registry roturns ihat ore now coming in from tho military dependencies-and seo how completely thoso onco fair and prosper ous States are being transformed, by the Radical', into a Black Republic, compared with which, Jamaica or Hayti will bo respectable. The President to be Sustained. Thu Washington correspondent of tho Charles ton Courier says : " Whatever the President bas dono or may do in opposition to tho ascendancy of tho negr political power iu the South, will be hailed with gratitude and satisfaction by tho great conservative mass of thc North. The Radi cal capitalists are but just beginning to open their eyes to the new daggers threatening them." Hard on King John. Tho Louisville Courier takes a lick at King John, of the Third Kingdom, and talk? " thusly :'i Gen. John Popo has made his appearance in politios. He knows less about that than he does about war, and knows little about either. If he will keep bis mouth shut but few people would find oui how silly he is. His present expedition into the realms of datcsinanship is about as great a failure as his trip from Washington towards Richmond. Then ho thought it would add to his con-fort and security to get out of the South, and he mudo rapid lime; now he thinks that the pro cess of reconstruction would bo facilitated by putting other poople out of the country. We im agine that lila itiilesmanship will be regarded as weak as his tactics, and that the one will make as little impression upon tho country as the other tactics did upon tho Confederates. VAORANCT.-A whole family, consisting nf four persons, a mother, two grown dau^htou and a son about ten years of ago, belter known as tho " Rail Road family," were oommittod to the Guard House yesterday afternoon, on tho charge of vagrancy Tho screams and conduct of the females while in chargo of policeman Riley, on their w*y to the lock up, attracted a considerable crowd after them.-Charleston Courier.

WALHALLA, C. S., Aug. 19th, 1867. "Are not the mountains, waves and skier, a pa of mo and of my soul, As I of them ? Is not the love of these deep my heart With a puro passion ?" Seated hero in tho "Glue Auf" Tavern at window commanding a view of the tall, blue peal of the Blue Ridge,-to say nothing of the pur clear, cold water, or thc exhilarating brccr.es th fan the eagle's home-I begin to feel almost ha| py once more,-tingling in every vein, I recogni: the glow of returning ecstasy. I'm almost Umptc to intimato that I ought to be enviod a little li tho cant-get away club. Now some member < that highly respectable fraternity may be read to growl out ?the following sentiment " Wei well, every d-g bas bis day." But I might ti tort by saying that I havo had a day and a m'y) feasting and loafing, chatting and studying th manners and customs of genuine Gormans. An then I have just come down from tho mountai tops where tho scenery is gloriously beautiful. T the North, you might see a wild, irregular, an yet sublime, grouping of crag, gorge, and heaven reaching eminences. You gaze until the ey aches With tho effort to tako in a panorama P vast and diversified. Now the scene changes. 0 a sudden, a storm of wind and min, of lightninj and thunder, sweeps through the narrow defiles and across the gray cliffs. But the reign of tin Tempest King is brief. A moment more, and yoi aro transported with thc view of a rainbow ?pan ning a lovely valley, rosling the extremities of iii " bright arch" upon a brace of mountains, form ing a bridge jcemingly fit for angels to croas from one district of Puradiso to anotbor. On such ar occason I love to lum my eye in the direction ol Homo. What a picture of bill and ''ale, of farms and villas, of forests and whitish vapors with ridgee over-topping ridges utti' ' r lastuzuro wall seems to weet and support the o' ..e of the sky! Again and again, we survey the magnificent landscape. The heart thrills with plo*sure indescribable. Ev ery thing dull, or common-place,-all that ia sad or sinful,-seems to have beon banished from Earth ; tho inspiration of the moment becomes apart of cur better nature, and we go back to ?.ho world to labor with greater diligence and power, and with holy purposes ! On Saturday last, I went to Tunnel Hill. Tak ing u. hasty peep at the Western and Eastern por tals, and also at each abaft, to the number of four I suw much to make one feel sad and lonely. Eve ry thiog pertaining to operations on the "Big Tuuncl," is neglected, and fallen to decay. The whole place waa ditmantied in 136(1. The powder mill, located here, was stopped at the samo Mme. Of all the busy throng congregated hero in 1S&8, only two Irish families and one native nowremain* These arc cultivating lots on the top of the moun" tain, itnd haye u good corn crop. At the East end of the tunnel, I fomnd a pic-nicparty in the pleni tude of social enjoyment. Sumo were outside viewing tho works of Art and Nature ; others wero in tho cool twilight of the tunnel singlug, anil listening to thc thrilling reverberation of their own roices. I saw six ladies, who bad gone into this Railway cavern to tho first shaft, a distance of nearly one-fourth of a mile. When it became necessary to quit work in 1359, ono of the con tractors said that the Stump House tunnel could be finished in eight months; but the Engineer in charge averred that he could have it all done in six months. Any way, the excavations yet to be made are no serious obstado to tho completion of the road,-especially with the present facilities of tunnelling. The friends of the Blue Ridge Railroad ar? still active a.ud hopeful. For the sake of hay ing this great highway of commerce built ?tooee, the old Company proposo to give away all tho wo i that bas beon done with thia reservation: that whenevor tho new Company shall realise aeven per ct. on all their expenditures, then the original Stockholders are to have an equal abare in any profits over and above that per centum.

Joseph Grisbara, of Pickens, sold about seventeen thousand acres of land to the " German Colonisation Society," which consisted of 47 members, all of whom wore living in Charles ton at that time. Thu territory includes the site of Walhalla and the High Falls of Little River near the Court House Village. Mr. Brig.iman built the first home in Walhalla. In the course of five or six years, a large village had sprung up in the bosom of a dense forest; besides quite a number of farms wore occupied, and cultivated with an eye to substantial improvements. German gold and Gorman industry infused new life into the old land. A good market was created, and tra Jo of every kind was brisk and mutually profi table. It is an intercstiug feet in this connection that only one German has been sold out by the Sheriff since the Town was located ! Present pop- J ulation of Germans hereabouts is about fifteen hundred. Of course, the war and the suspension of work on tho Railroad pata stop to all this pro gress. But Walhalla bax held her om remarkably well, and sbe is quietly preparing for tho time when the cars shall run through to Knoxville. In view of what has beon accomplished in this vicinity, I nm mere than ever convinced of tho fact that our most direct way to a permanent prosperity and political quietude, ia to transfer to our shores, with Jut delay, the greatest possible amount of European capital, and civilization. This policy has developed the resourcos of the North West, and it has nude New York city tho wonder of tho world. Wo may profit by their example. E. K. Timely Warning. The New York Nation, an ultra-radical paper, warna the colored peoplo of tho South, and espe cially those of Virginia, against thc suicidal poli cy of banding themselvts into a party exclusively against the whites, and suffering themselves "to be kept in a constant ferment" ly a few white mon, who are using them for their own profit and advantage. And it tells them to remember that whilst this game may succeed for a year or two. it must in the end, recoil upon thoEo who aro playing it ; for, says the Nation, there is scarcely a State, except South Carolina, which can be con trolled by tho colored vote alone far more than two or threo years. Certainly Virginia is not one of that class. The white voters will constitute a majority whenever thoy choose to net together; and they will probably increase far more rapidly than the othors. Immigration will soon flow in that direction ; and thii, of course, will bo exclu- I sivcly IT h ito, and in great part un. ric:; ?ly to tho colored people." This is the warning not of j 11 rebels" or " seeonh," but of a warm, devoted friond to tho radical party, and thc power of the colored race. f3>* Tho New York Day Dook six j i : "A South ern paper praises the consistency of Thad.

BUFFALO, Wednesday, August 14. There was a very large and fashionable as semblage at the Horse Fair this afternoon, to wilDess the trotting flf Dexter against time. About 8,000 persons were inside the track, among whom was a fair ?priukling of ladies belonging to our best society. Thc sky was bright and clear, and a fine breeze mode thc day comfortable and the scene en joyable. The first trot was the continuation of the 2:30 race which was yesterday interrupted by the darkness. At 2.30, p. m., McClellan, May Queen and Melton started. May Queen took tho first heat in 2:30^, and Melton the second andUhird heats in L:33 and 2:32. The excitement was now at fever heat to see Dexter trot. As the noble animal came to the stand he was greeted with defening cheers. Dan Mace rode a mare to push Dexter. On the first trial Dexter made the quarter mile in 33 seconds, thc half mile in 1 minute 10 seconds, and the mile in 2 minutes 22*, seconds. On the second trial he made the quarter in 33 1-5 seconds, the half in 1 minute, 7 second?, aud thc mile in 2 minutes 17? se cond.;. When the announcement of the result was made, three tremendous cheers were given for Dexter and his owner. The time is tua best ever made in harness by 1* seconds. Dexter wns sold thia afternoon to Robert BoDner for #30,1)00, and ii to be delivered to thc purchaser after thc Chicago races, when ho will be retired from the turf, unless he should be occasionally exhibited at the Buf falo Fair*. The following dispatch of Mr. Bonner an nounces thc purchase of the horse : BUFFALO, August 14,1867.

False l?osoms and their EfTeets. Thc New York Times says: On last Satur day afternoon a very fine looking lady, young and well dressed, called on Justice Dodge, at thc Jefferson Market Policy Court, aud in a most bland and smiling manner stated that she had been defrauded in a singular manner by a fashionable dress maker on Sixth Ave nue, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, named Madame Latour. Miss Flora Sinclair, the lady in question, is inclined to be fashionable in every refpact. Large and full breasted, without any orna mental paddings, she was duly measured for thc dress, the material for which she says she gave Madame Latour. When she came to fit the garment on, how ever, she wore a pair of false bosoms, which could not be reduced to sufficient space to al low thc dross to work over them. It was long enough in thc skirt, had trail enough for Long Branch, Newport, or Sarato ga, but ah ! the bosom ! that could not be made to join, and Miss Sinclair's charms were visible to the vulgar gaze of thc outer world. She did not want this, as she said' herself it would not look well to wear such a dress iu company. This Miss Flora Sinclair blushingly and smilingly declared she did not desire, and in sisted that the madame should pay her for the material wasted in tho dress. Madame La tour, in her broken English, begeed to say to his Honor that she was not ref ponaible for the mistake in the size of the dress, if any had occurred ; she measured Miss Sinclair carefully, and made the dress accordingly ; and if thc latter saw fit to add to her own charms by wearing false bosoms over her nat ural endowments, already large, she (Madame Latour) could not be held responsible. His Honor thc Judge said he knew little about the mysteries of dres3-ruakiug, but he would re fer thc whole subject to a competent person, to examine the facts and report to him the tcstimouy. Ho according refprred thc dis putants to Mrs.Robinson, a well known dress maker on Sixth Avenue, to adjudicate upon, but this lady has not yet made her report. Meantime Miss Sinclair is obliged to go without her new garment, which at one time promised to add so much to her charms. Thc clerk and attache* of the court are anxiously awaiting the Judge's decision on the subject, as it is generally believed that it will contain a long disquisition on the evil effects of false bosoms." IMTORTAXT DECISION* BY Junes BRYAN. Thc case of V. A. Ripley vs. R. C. Gillam, was an oction brought by the plaintiff, who lives in North Carolina, against the defendant, a resident of this Sttte, upon acoutract made during the war. W. K. Easely, defendant's attorney, moved the court on Wednesday, to stay the pnceedine;.a, on the ground that the action was in conflict with / provision in Or der No. 10. of Gener:-.! Sickles. The molion was resintetl by E. P. Jones, attorney for the plaintiff. The Judge granted thc motion, holding that the citizens of the States, plac ed by Congress under military kw, were bouud by military orders, *o that a citizen of North Carolina has no more right to sue a citizen of ^ouih Carolina, with:n the prohibi :<>d rules, than citizens of thc san.n. State have to sue each other. There is a n:florence in thc rights of citizens of New York or other State that is not placed under disability, or that has fut felted no right by rebellion, and the citizens of these Southern States; the former can prosecute legal domauds in the United States Court, without respect to military orders-not so thc latter.-Green ville Enterprise. - POLITICS Asp THE COLORED PEOPLE ixf OHIO.-An intelligent torret-pondeut of thc Alexandria Gazette, writing from Columbus, Ohio, furnishes the following observations op polities and the colored race in that State^ He says : An amendment to thu State constitution, permitting negroes to vote, and excluding " rebels," is to bc voted upon in Ohio in Oc tober. Now, as there ?rebut about 10,000 admit male negroes in the State, their ad mission to tho ballot box cannot bo at all dangerous, and is a more matter ol* taste ; but so prejudiced against the negro are many of these wisc and just radicals, who havo just forced into our political arena almost if not quite a majority of wholly uneducated men, that it is universally conceded that the amend ment will be rejected, and that the few ed ucated and well conducted colored people who reside herc will bo thus continued, by their special friends, in the inferior position they now occupy. Charity don't seem to be gin at home out here. I have watched, par ticulaiiy, since 1 have been here, what degiee of association there was between thc white and colored people ; and I can truly say that there is less than thorc has always been with us. There was a procession of colored people in Urbana whilst I was there, and I Baw boys picking up pebbles to throw nt thom us they passed-an act v.hL'b, had it occurred with us, would have been chronicled in the Notth i-rn pupers as evidence of the most intense disloyalty.

COMMANDER OF THE Finn MILITARY DI? TRicT.-Tho Washington Republic, in an nouncing that the President, through General Graut, had issued an order lelieviog General Sheridan as commander of the fifth military district,' bead-quarters at Nsw Orleans, and assigning General George H. Thomas, com mander of the Department of the Cumber land, to succeed him, remarks : . G?nerai Thomas having had experience iu ?he work of reconstruction uqder the congres sional act, and having given general satisfac tion, was deemed by the President and Gen eral Grant thc best roan tn assume tho dury of fiuishing the work required by Congress ic. the fifth district. This order was promul gated yesterday, and will take effect at once. The name of Gen. Thomas is a sufficient guarantee that the laws will be executed, without regard to politics, in thc spirit of fairness, for the greatest good of the greatest number. Much of the bitter feeling that has been engendered by the announcement that General Sheridan would be removed will be allayed by the fact that he is to be succeeded by such a man as General Thoma", in whom tho loyal people all over the country have confidence. -?-?-? From Richmond. RICHMOND, August 22, p. m.-Ex-Gov. Wise delivered an addre s to-day at Washing ton and Henry Academy. He said we all now owed natural allegiance to our country, and any oath to support its Constitution or oath of registration was in violation of that Con stitution. There is now being made an effort to make tho white# freemen of the South sub ject to tho domination of the black freedmen. Against this we must appeal to the white masses of the North, who will not permit a sacrifice of nature's laws to political preju dice. The whites of New England, the Mid die States, and Europe must not be kept out of thc South by black rule. This is the white man's land, and must bc kept opsn for tue white men. He said that lo avoid the na tional dishonor of repudiation the interest on the uational bonds must be reduced to four and-a-ha!f per cent. That interest taxed and the whole debt consolidated, the rich would stop hoarding bonds. He urged his audience to renew their allegiance to their country, and never desert the Constitution ; to pre serve the .purity of their race and blood aud color unceasingly ; to live in peace and plenty. " From Wilmington. WILMINGTON, August 23. Registration to-day: whites, G8 ; colored, 50; total in Edward for two days: whites, 135 ; colored, 223. The Republicans are becoming alarmed lest a negro should he elected Mayor of the city. The Southern whites are denounced because they did not register. The Northern ra< who are Conservative, begin to see that with out their co-operation with a Southern party of moderate view, the State mun be given up to negro domi'iatinn. Prominent Norther men herc admit that the whites must nc yield to negro suffrage, but that the ne^rorac like the Indian, must give place to the so{ rior intelligence ot thc white man.

THE TERRIBLE FAMINE IN INDIA.--Thc official reports of the awful famine in Indi t which has now lasted a year, and at latest ac counts was increasing, tell a truly heart-ren ding story. The disaster has affected a pop ulation of 20,000,000, and the deaths have been as many as 1,500,000. Certain di tri cts. however, have suffered far mire se verely than the average, and in tho Province of Orissa at least one-fourth of the inhabit ants have been swept away. Thc crowning horror of hunger has not been wanting. Starv ing wretches have turned cannibals and eaten their own children. A missionary of Balla sore records a caso of a mother and son who were found devouring a dead child. A Hin doo is mentioned who, having found thc bod; of au infant in the river, cooked and atc ir Last year the government and private charil expended for the relief of the sufferers over ?2,000,000, and this year it is expected thai a government subsidy of at least $2,590,001) will be required-N. Y. Tribune. NOBLE SENTIMENT.-The following is from the August number ol Thc Land Wt LOM and was brought to memory, says the editor, by the name ?f one of the President's bonds men :. A Northern man married in our native vil lage a Southern lady, and died soon after tl marriage. The widow discovered, iu looking over her husbaud's papers, that he was in debted to an Abolitionist, at the North, the sum of a thousand dollars. She told her administrator that there must not bea stain upon the memory of her husband, and pro posed telling her house and lot to pay tin debt. He wrote to thc coeditor, stating tin destitute condition of the widow, and h r hon orable intentions. For an answer he received a letter enclosing the note pf the deceased husband as a present' to thc widow. The name of this generous credit:r wa? Gerri: Smith, of New York. In a private letter m ourselves he says. " it is time for men to qui" hating, and learn to love one auother." A truly noble ^ entament, to which every true soldier, North or South, who did his duty in the field, responds heartily, amen. GENERAL POPE'S LAST LT BCLL."-Thc Cin cinnati Enquirer has tho following remark: on this topic : Of thirteen daily papers in Georgia, only fjur-and these are edited by renegade Southerners-support the reconstruction pol icy of Congress. .In consequence of the re lusnl of the Georgia people to give them coun tenance or support, they have hitherto main tained a precarious existence by passing the hat around up North. Tho telegraph this morning announces that the order issued by General Pope, a few days ago, by which all ofiieial advertisements, or ders (lawsj, etc., are to be inserted in their columns, where the people of Georgia will never see them, is now being carried out for their benefit and fo^the relief of the Eadica! packet. This reminds us of another old tyrant that we have somewhere read of, who pisted his new laws so high that his subjects could not read them and then punished them for not observing them. But we suppose the Radicals -/ill hardly now have thc face to howl so lou 1 about ne groes down South being discharged for sup porting their ticket, when, ia the same region, they arc thus taking work away from white men for not doing it, and oppressing an en tire population besides. A SUOCKINU OCCURRENCE.-On Sunday morning last, a short time beforo daylight, a very melancholy affair occurred noar Leavens worth, in Darlington District, tho particulars of which are as follows; Mr. Peter Mci vc, who lives in the Leavens worth neighborhood, had been for some time past troubled with rogues depredating among his poultry, and on tho night in question it seems Mr. and Mrs. Mciver were both wake ful and apprehensive of harm. Mrs. Mciver, unknown to the family, had gotten up and gone into the yard, no ore knew why or wherefore, and Mr. Mciver, hearing some noise out thero, awoko his son-a young man near'; grown-and told him some one was out in the yard. Thc son took his gun and went to the yard, and seeing Rome strange object near where the fowls were, shot at random in that direction, and saw the object fall. He thon vant in the house and told his father k* had shot some person down, and about the jame time the cook woman came in and said some one was hurt near the fowl house. Upon going there tho dreadful truth burst upon the aroused household that Mrs. Mciver was shot in a vital part of her body by her own ?on. Ono shot penetrated the braiu, but sho was able to speak, though not fully conscious of her situation, as she labored under the impression that somebody had struck her a blow upon the head. Physicians were promptly sent for, who pronounced the ease hopeless. Mrs. Mciver lived about three hours after receiving tho wouud. jJ^ET" A pastor of a congregation out West, last year, received as remuneration for his services $150 from an eastern missionary society, and from his affectionate flock a bar rel of whisky ?ad a keg of Tarnish. j NON* EMPLOYMENT OFRADICALS.-The Mem phis Avalanche recommends the policy of re fusiug all business dealings with Radicals, both black and white. It sayc : The Freedmen's Bureau is besieged by crowds of able bodied black fellows who want to be fed, or to get the forty acres of land that were promised to them if they voted ior Brownlow. The bead of the Bureau bas or dered that speedy settlements of the claims of blacks so discharged shall bc ordered. It was teared by some employers that under this regulation the Bureau might punish such discharges by enforcing claim;- of blacks for contract by the year, when no such contract was ever made. No such enforcement can be made by tho Bureau in this Stite. All claims have here to be adjudicated by the courts. A colored man applied to a Conservative yesterday for work, saying ; " Dey has be< n dischargin' us fo- votin' for Brownlo, but I guess you won't do so, anyhow." " Indeed I will, Bob ; Toting for Brownlow was voting for I hat Indemnity act which is to put a hun dred and eighty dollars more taxes every year OD me, and I don't intend to support anybody who votes to have heavy taxes put ou me." ? ? ?* DIABOLICAL MURDER.-The Selma Times of Sunday last says : Captain J. B. Harrison, one of tho oldest citizens of Dallas county, ani a gentleman universally esteemed by the community, was murdered and robbed on Saturday, about sunset, on bis way to his home, a few miles from the city. The murder took place on a by road leading to Beach Creek Swamp, ard within a few yards of the edge of the 3wa*=p. No clue "to the perpetrator cf this horrible murder has yet been found. It is supposed that Capt. Harrison was murdered for h'a money, and it is known that ile came to the city for the purpose of procuring money with which to pay off the bandB in his employ, al though he did not succeed in his purpose. SIGNIFICANT FROM THE ORGAN*.-The Na tional Intelligencer, of Wednesday, sa^s: As to the reports of the removals of others of the military satraps, telegraphed from this city, we have no definite information. We are satisfied, however, that no man will be permitted to play the monarch in this counuy with impunity. With the,consent of Europe -we might say of the civilized world-the Monroe doe'rine has become thc settled poli cy of this country in respect to domains on thi* continent outside of the jurisdiction of thc United States j, and it could hardly bo supposed that,'in this republic, men "dressed in a little brief authority" will long be al lowed to exercise a despotism for which they can find nd warrant even in the unconstitu tional acts of Congress, and which far ex ceeds in atrocity any tyranny in the old world. TUE CABINET.-Thc Washington corrcspor.. dent of tho Mew York Herald writes : " (.ren. Grant has had a private consulta tion with the President, in which be nrged thc dismissal of every member of the Cabin-1, in order to create harmony between Mr. Johnson and his advisers. Thc General is known to be particularly hostile to Mr. Sew ard, whom he regards as too adroit and dar t-erous to be? trusted. He also fears that if tho Secretary of Sute is retained, he will form political combinations in Congress, through the agency of Wade, to defeat any programme which may he adopted to restore fraternal relations between the North and South. It is deemed* probable that, should the General hold office, ho will endeavor to hp.vo Sherman appointed to a place in the Cabinet." GENERAL POPE'S LETTER TO GENERAL GRANT.-The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says : 11 The letter of General Pope to General Grant has occasioned tl goud deal of comment here, a:id is general ly believed .the latter officer will order the (irrest of B.

GERMAN RADICAL PAVERS REPUDIATING rHE NEGRO SUFFRAGE PARTY.-Quite a -argo number of the German papers recently de voted to building up thc interests of the Rad ikal party have repudiated th? negro suffrage and disunionism of that faction. In Boston, Carl Meinzer, editor of the most ultra Ger man Radical paper in the North-the Pioneer -gives notice that- he will no longer act with the party of Stevens, Sumner it Co. The Pittsburg VulksblaU, an influential Radical japer, says that the German Republicans uust form an allianc ? with the Democracy, in order to defeat the puritanism which is gradually taking hold of their parly. The German Radical papers in Iowa make similar declarations. Even Carl Schurz, in he Sr. Louis Westliche Post, urges the Ger nan Rndicals to vote for Democratic candi lates for legislative ar-d municipal offices. This list might be greatly extended 5 but the foro<roing is sufficient to show that but few of mr German fellow-citizens can any longer be made the dupes of the Radical demagogue* .vho would use them for their own selfish purposes, and then kick them aside and per secute (hem because they refuse to place themselves on a level with or below the ne Tro.-Cleveland (0.)
