TllE GREAT METROPOLIS SKK.V THROUGH
T?IB " INDEPENDENT" SPECS.-THEODORE
'PILTON has been looking in New York by
gas-light, and dare* not tell what he saw.
lio says of What he did :
In company with several well-known pub
lic mon, and under thc guidance of thc oo
lloo, wc meedo a tour last Saturday night,
through tho nethermost haunts of misery,
vico and crime in thc City of New York.
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.

. 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."

Grasses for tho South.
Wo commend to our readers the article on
this subject, furnished thc press by Hon. R.

condition of thc country necessitate changes
in its husbandry, and wc can learn from none
more practical than Maj. SIMPSON. WC shall
bc pleased to hear from him again.
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 evident, from thc signs of tho times,
that we nre to have thrco political parties in
the United States-all struggling for honors,
Office or plundor-and this, too,-whilo tho pres
ent revolution is raging with almost savage
fierceness. Wc shall have -
1. Trtfe?TKVKNS-B?TLRR-WADR confisca
tion, free suffrage, agrarian party.
2. Tho Dcmocratio patty, redressed, exul
tant with tho old battlc-ory : " to the victors
belong the spoils."
8. Those who simply noocpt the results of
thc late war, and would thereby restore tho
government to its prnotioal operations, and tho
organic law to such changos nnd modification
only as the revolution imperatively douuinds.
It is too early to spcoulato as to results, but
wo incline to tho opinion that tho " swoot
meats" in tho agrarian sohodulo will bo hard
to majtoh. Tho political turnpike will bo, ap
parently, a " hard road to travel" for docont,
honest people.

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. Without capital, i
interest-agricultural, mercantile and i
trial-must languish and die, nnd to Com
capital wo must command confidence."

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.

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. If no man can serve two masters, as w<
i loirn from inspiration itself, it is certainly
! impossible for Illili to serve Congress, Legis
j (aturo, District Commander, Post Captain
judge, Chief Justice, ami-Magistrate, unies:
the / harmonize better than they havo dono.
in tho meantime, the disputed order work
'.gainst the State both ways, like a two-cdgci
sword. Domestic creditors are barred fron
getting their claims by tho military author)
ties, while creditors out of thc State collie
theirs through thc United States Courts. 1
n man is unluckily indebted to au outside.!
and holds claims against his fellow-citizens i

mill-stone. Ile cannot collect, but he can I

thc military is only to protect all in tin
rights of personal property, and for the pr?
ervation of order and thc suppression ol' vi
leuce and crime. 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

LAWUKNOK, Kansas, June 10.- Sena
Wade, President of thc United States Sena

of female suffrage, reiterating views expr?s
in thc Senate last spring; declared that i
tiler Johnson nor the devil could tempt C

them, the screw would bc glvon another tc

strueido was over us ; that Congress, wli
has done so much for Die slave, einnot, qu

they will do for them. Men should nol

being is a curse, nor can this always bc

ty stamp mills are up and being orectcd, four
or five of. ty hi oh aro now in full operation;
and nt the Huey Mine, they haven ten stamp
mill which is now producing 8?J00 in bullion

examined the mining interests of that State,

land of gold.

Do Gool),-Thousands of tuen breathe,
move and live, pass off the stage of life, and
arti heard of no more Why t they do not
do a particle of ?rond in the world, and none
were blessed by them, none could point to
them as the instrument of their redemption,
not a word they spoke could he recalled, and
they perished ; their light went out in dark
ness, and they were not remembered more than
tho insect of yesterday. Will you thus live
and die, oh mau immortal t Live for some
thing. Do good, ami leave behind you a moil*
liment of virtue that the storm of time patt
never destroy. Write your name in kindness
love and mercy, on ttio hearts of thousand*
who come in contact with you year hy year;
you will never bo forgotten. No, your name,
your deeds, will be as legible on the bonita
you leave behind as the stars on the brow of
evening, flood deeds will shino as thc stars
of heaven.
