This ia an exploration which ovcry mau con 'neetCjl with public- nIFuirs, oithcr by civil or by editorial duty, ought if possiblo, to make at least ouco in his lifo. Born in Now York, und having always either rosided or labored within it, wo novor saw or know our own oity until last Saturday night. Never until then had we any adequato conception of its povor ty, of its squalidness, of its villainy, of its debauchery, of its leprosy ! Tho sight can never bo forgotten ! Tho story, oven if wo had thc heart lo tell it, must for decenoy's sake, remain untold. We can only say that none of thc familiar descriptions had adequate* ly prepared us for tho actual scenes. We wcro shocked, confounded, sickened ! And as we'now look back upon tho awful revela tion of that ono night's descent into hell, we cnn hardly persuade ourselves that what wc saw was a reality ; it seems a hideous dream. And yet, with all these horrors right under his proboscis,., this philanthropist has spent thc better portion of his lifo in bewailing thc moral Condition of thc poor 'negroes of thc South.- Courier. - - *. mi - . SOUTHERN WHEAT IN NEW YORK.-New wheat from Georgia has made its nppoarance on the New York Com Exchange. Thc ripe ning of thc harvest will .advance Northward at the rate of twelve miles a day. In tho tide-water regions of Virginia, tho harvest will commence by thc 15th instant. Now Southern wheat and Hour will soon boin mar ket. Tho Norfolk Day Hook romarks that : " Cotton, tobacco and sugar, therefore, bid fair to become secondary considerations io comparison with thc grain crops. We arein fovined that wheat, which is shown to bo of a superior quality to that raissd.nt thc North, ?au bo cultivated in a comparatively short sea son nod with few laborers. Wo notice that .Southern flour always commands tho highest price in tho Northern cities, and its produo -tion is unlimited in all thc Southern country, "if, the large plantations were divided into small farms, emigration would eventually supply tho want of negro labor, and the usual crops would probably then bo made to pay. But the ques tion at present is, how to make the most and thc best of the labor now on tho ground; and this will bo answered by devoting tho best lands in tho South to orops that can be easily raised, and which now are in the largest de mand." NEW ORLEANS, June 15.-In the Repub lican State Convention a resolution was ta bled asking Congress to appropriate $50,000, 000 for thc peaceable possession of Cuba or to take ic by forco of arms.

Mr. Stanberry's Opinion. Thc Attorney General of thc United Si.itcs has given to thc public thc remainder of his opinion on thc reconstruction acts of Congress Tho opinion is clearer and more direct than thc ono heretofore published. He declares that tho military commanders have no power to romovo officers, or to chango tho laws of tho provisional governments of the ton Southern States under military rule. " General Orders, No. 10," is specially dissected, and declared to bo without force. Chief Justico CIIASK al so pronounces it void. District officers, magistrates, &c., who en? j gaged in thc rebellion, aro declared to bc dis franchised. General Longstreet. It affords us much pleasure to direct thc attention of our readers to thc manly letter of General LOXGSTRKKT. Certain persons have come to tho conclusion that he was a good fighter, -but no politician. This is true. He is no politioian, but a sensible, practical man. He has not tho wiles of thc politician, but thc honesty of tho gallant soldier. Tho senatorial mantle of Louisiana could not fall moro ap propriately or moro gracefully than on tho manly shoulders of this distinguished soldier. Three Parties.

It is stated that Fred. Douglass, ac companied by othor colored orators, is about to mako a canvass of thc South. The First Oase of Bankruptcy. Tho first case arising nuder tho bankrupt law, in tho United Stntos District Court for tho Northern District of Now, York, was com wonoed yesterday. Tho petition, willoh was filed with tho Clerk of tho Court, was that of Thomas B. Head and others, of Now York city, against Frederick C. Crowley and Wm. L. lloblitzoll, of Eliznbethtown, EssoxCoun ty, Now York. It sets forth that the petition ers aro judgment creditors of the defendants in the sum of $028.10; that defendants aro bankrupt, owing debts to tho amount of $100, 000 ; that defendants have executed s chattel mortgage to thc Essex and Lake V-hamplain Oro aud Iron Company, covering proporty to thc4tmount of 810,000, contrary to tho pro visions of tho Act of Congress, approved Mnroh 2, 18G7, entitled " All Act to establish a uniform systoin of bankruptcy tl\rougboui thc United States;" that defendants also contrary to the same Act, made arrangement! whereby one Henry 1$. ?Moore should m ak executiou of a judgment against them of 825, 000, and one Daniel F. Payne should muk execution of a judgment against them of S4, 500. Therefore thc petitioners pray tlint th 1 defendants bc declared bankrupt by tho court in accordance witli thc provisions of thc bank rupt law. An order was made by the*com on this petition, directing dofondaj"4?*>0; RT pear at a torin of tho District Court, ,'to G hold in this city, on tho 24th of July, 180" and show cause why tho prayer of tho pet doner should not bo granted.* Wo have" bec thus explicit in giving thc points of tho eas not because it is especially interesting in itsel but on thc ground that the first proceedii under the bankrupt law in this Court Distri deserves to be chronicled. It is a little sing lar, since thc law was framed to benefit del ors rather than creditors, that this first on should bo one of involuntary bankruptcy that is, one where thc creditor, instead of t debtor, claims tho protection of tho courts, shows that the law is advantageous to hones on both sides. it not only relieves thc ci barrassed bankrupt from the rapacity of 1 creditors, but it equally protacts thc credit from the rascality of bis debtor, and seem an equitable division of the assets of thc'bai rupt. lt is thought by eminent lawyers tl tho existence of this law will do away will large proportion of our civil nuits. It; v prove a great vortex, in which will bo sw lowed hosts of attachments, supplement; proceedings, suits on promissory notes, fe closures of mortgages and other processes. Reasons for Reconstruction. A writer in tho " Augusta Press" is viewing, in a series of well-written artic the position of (lov. Perry, and in opposit to his views. From his last article, wcqti tho following congont reasons why the peo of thc South should push forward tho. w of restoration : Why ia it that the New Vork or Ho? broker can obtain all thc money ho need six per cent., on tho security of shares in bubble enterprise nt the North, when land-owners, merchants and manufacturer^ refused a dime if Why is that the mcroh of two of the largest and most populous o in.Georgia aro compelled to ask for a ret lion of rents, on the ground that they ar? making expenses ? Why is it that thous;' of acres of productivo land, already plat in corn and cotton, have been unable to cure provisions to feed the laborers and bc of burden necessary to cultivate them gather the crop ? The answer is, all th thc case on account of the political e! which exists among us, thc instability of Government, and the suspension of all as nn eminent authority lins justly dei martial law, or the government of thc sw While th's condition of affairs COU tin property is insecure, industry and enterp which depend altogether for success on p ami a faithful administration of jju?t and bio laws, are paralyzed, and society, is in tinual apprehension of thc disturbance trouble which would result from declare* tagon ism between thc white and black r Hut restero to us the power to make our laws, ?elect our own officers, and r?gul?t own affairs; relieve us from thc arbitrar capricious domination of tho bayonet ;-pi u? against tho spy, tho informer and th tectivc; and pla?ons again under the of tho law, as defined and limited by the Rtitutiou. Give us peaco and tho rigl self-government, and wc shall nt once maud whatever money and credit wo nc rebuild our trade, commerce, and indi and re-establish thu prosperity of the 1 people. Until these are restored, and tl pression and instability of military rule nr< ond, it is folly to expect that our materia dition will improve.

HL.? jill.!_"ItfiigiLUIUlUaL^ Confiscation Restitution. We invito the attention of loyal loaguers and others, who aro filling tho hoads of tho frcodmon with tho absurd idoa of confiscation and division of lands, to thc extract following, copied from tho " Courior," published iu tho oity of Buffalo, Now York. They will find in it food for reflection, and perhaps that which will help to dispel tho immcuso amount of ig norance mixed up with thc terrible bugbear of confiscation : Tho interpretation of laws in accordance with judicial standards is destined to reader null and void nearly nil tho radical schemes for Vengeance upon tho Southern people Since the close of the war, there has been con siderable " mild confiscation " of thc property of men engaged in tho late rebellion,, decreed by such Judges os Pierpont, Bustocd and others of thoir class. These confiscations and sales are understood to have boon very profita ble to thc speculators at whose instance thc proceedings have been instituted, and it is suspected that tho Judges have not been in nocent of gains in connection with them, ll is now in effect Scolded that these confiscatory proceedings aro void. In the ease of an ap plication for a writ of error to secure thc pos session of property condemned to confiscation Chief Justice Chaso has granted it on tin ground that a condemnation of property as foi treason cannot take phioo until thc party hai been adjudged guilty by r. jury j and further that tho condemnation and salo of thc nbso lute estate arc in excess of thc constitutione power of the court. Thc ?'New York Times' remarks that this action of thc court wi I probably prove tho precursor of not a 1 i ttl litigation. Thc amount of property confiscr ted while thc r?bellion was in progress wa very large, and in every instance, we appn beni, the errors noticed by thc Chief Just ic were committed. The property was sold wit! out any trial for treason, and it was sold i fee, when a life interest was all that coul have been disposed of, even aller con victim Confiscation titles arc worse than Western ta titles, which arc among the poorest of seci ri ties. Men who have como into the possess! in < real property fot a mere song, will be cou polled to surrender it to its actual owners, an will lose what little they may have paid fi their plantations. In addition, they will I liable to proceeding for trespass, and compel?? to pay what damages tho owner may have sn tattled in being deprived of his property wit out due process of law. Altogether, this not a pleasing out-look forthat class of disi tcrcstcd patriots who emigrated South on tl assurance that there was " a great deal of go land down there," which could bc had fort taking. j?jT Thc American Sunday School Ulli has between eighty and ninety missionaries its service, and reports eighteen hundred a ten new schools organized in thc past ye embracing 8-4,847 scholars. m m - jt?T Thc Evansville (indiana) " Scntim nominates General Robert 13.

Chase on Stay Laws. Chief Justioo CHAS? has oponed tho Uui tod States Circuit Court for North Carolina, at Raleigh. Ono of thc first obstaolcs ho mot was ttie military stay law of this District, gen erally kuovf n as Order No. 10. Tho Chief Justice sot aside this order as not binding up on United States >urts. Ho lays it down ns law, that the military authority was established iii tho South-uot in supervision or control of State or National tribunals-but only to pre vent illegal violence to persons and proporty, aud to facilitate thc restoration of every State to equal rights and benefits in thc Union. If don. StOkOKS disputes this interpreta tion of his powers, there will probably bo a conflict of authorities, civil and military, in Distriot No. 2. Wc hope the question will bo settled in such a shape as to let thc people j know by what authority and what laws thc) I ure governed. Under thc present rapid man I nfactnrcof laws and tho equally rapid.squelch I lng of laws, it'is difficult to determine what ii I law.

Thoro is no authority the law for removal by thc military cominan er of tho proper officers of thc Stale, neill l executive nor judicial, nor for the nppoii ment of their successors.
