NEGRO SUPERIORITY. Hon. Ben. Wade, of Ohio, who is now President of the Senate of the United States, in a speech made recently by him at Mariet ta, Oh To, used the following language in relation to the qualifications of Irishmen, with other foreigners and negroes, to vote properly upon the great questions of the day. Comments upon such assertions are unnecessary: "If you will take the poor Irishman, or other foreigners who come here and know nothing of our institutionsif you will permit him to vote after five years' residence, then I insist upon the same right for the other class of persons (the negroes). "As a mass they (the negroes) are better quali? fied-to discharge their duties under this govern? ment than the great mass, equal to them in numbes, that we have always permitted to vote;" "I am glad to say that those people (negroes,) whomyourlegislaturehasreferred.it to you to? day, whether they 3hall be voters or not, are infi? nitely above the class I have alluded to in all* tho intelligence that qualifies men to vote right. AMNESTY- PROCLAMATION?ITS EFFECTS! The National lirieltigcncer in speaking of the late amnesty proclamation of the President, says: "During the deliberations of the Cabinet, yes? terday, it is understood that it became evident that, in the opinion of every member present, the legal effect of the contemplated amnesty procla? mation would be to relieve all persons included ?within its terms from all disqualification, as well as all penalties incurred by their complicity in the late rebellion, and, of course, (so far as the action ? of the General Government is concerned,) frem disability as to the exercise of the right of suffrage. We may, therefore, congratulate the country upon the prospect of a Hpcedy settlement of all our diffi? culties upon principles conformable, to tho Consti? tution, and in.harmony with our republican form qf Government. That such will be its effect, no sound lawyer entertains a doubt, nor is it to bo jresumcd that it will be seriously denied by any. considerable, number of respectable men of the radical-patty in.or out of Congress." It will be remembered, that the only condition prescribed, precedent to enjoying tho benefits of this proclamation, is that those for whsse benefit it was-issued, should subscribe to the oath contained, in the proclamation itself. If the view of tho Na? tional Intelligencer be correct, then all persons to whom tho provisions of this amnesty extend are enfranchised, and have the right, to vote at all fu? ture elections. ->*-. ?

THB HOKEYORDEE POSTAL SYSTEM; Few of our^readers are apprized of tho workings of the above system, and as Anderson has been re? cently designated as one of the "Money Order" offices of this State, a brief review of its practical operations will doubtless be interesting to the bu? siness men and others in this vicinity, as it will also be to readers generally. An article recently appeared in- the New York UeraU that covers the whole ground, and'wc present tie chief points for the benefit of our readers. "It is a system," says that paper, "designed to benefit the public, as well as'to be a source of prolific revenue to the Govern? ment ; and for business men, and- all others who wish to send small sums of money to a distance, no scheme has ever been devised which provided so offcctually for a great public necessity. It-is virtually impossible for thousands of persons re? siding in the country to obtain bank drafts, and the express companies charge exorbitant rates for the transmission of small sums. Many are in the habit of sending money through the mails in regis? tered letters bnt it costs twenty cents to have a letter registered, and no security whatever is guar? anteed the remitter; while a money order of any amount from one dollar to twenty can be procured for ten cents, and for any sum between twenty and 1 fifty dollars for twenty-five cents, and full security 'for its transmission guaranteed. The great advan? tages of this system consist in its moderate fees and the porfect security it affords against fraud or loss. This security is effected by leaving out the name of the person to whom an order is payable, so in the event of its being stolen or lost by acci? dent in transitu a party in illegal possession cannot get it cashed. Should an order be lost the owner can obtain a duplicate without delay or difficulty. So absolute, in fact, is the security afforded remit? ters of funds that, even a postmaster who might at tempt to defraud the government by altering the amount of order, or by forgery, is morally certain to be delected. The superiority of this system over any other now in existence has been fully demon? strated in Great Britain, where it has been in suc? cessful operation for a number of years. The sys? tem was commenced upon the 1st of November, 1864, with one hundred and forty-two offices, and it appears on the 30th of June, 18C3, that $1,300, 122 had been transmitted, the revenue accruing from which amounted to Sil,534. In 18CC (he number of offices had been incrcasd to four hun? dred and seventy-three, and the amount of busi? ness done that year amounted to-an aggregate of ?3,976,257, and the fees $35,779. In this report for the fiscal year of 1867, II. J. Anderson, Auditor of the Treasury for the Post Office Department, stated that the experiment had eventuated satisfactorily, having paid all expenses and left a surplus in the hands of the Government. With the addition of new offices and the increasing popularity of the new system with the people, this branch of the postal service has increased more than a thousand fold, and is still increasing in a rapid ratio; and there can be no reasonable doubt that it is destined at no distant day to add largely to tho revenues of the Government. In 1807 the number of offices was seven hundred and sixty seven, except in the last quarter of the fiscal year, when sixty-eight more were added. The precise amount of business done during the last year has not yet transpired, owing to unavoidable delay in the Pacific mails; enough is known, however, to make the estimate of $10,000,000 a safe one, and tho amount will probably be in excess of that, which is nearly treble the amount of the previous year. By an act of Congress four hundred more offices will be in operation in the year 1868, mak ing a total of twelve hundred and thirty-five offices ; and in the same ratio as heretofore, twenty millions of dollars will be a moderate estimate for the pre? sent fiscal year (1868)." "The departmental check is thorough in every respect, and fraud is utterly impossible. Each (?postmaster i? obliged by law to furnish the depart? ment with a weekly statement of business done at his office, and if there be the slightest error in his accounts ho is at once notified thereof. Dr. C. F. McDonald is superintendent of tliemoney order 1 office of the Post Office Department, and with a [ staff of six able clerks he makes a preliminary cx . amination of al] statements received, and exercises a general supervision over the system. In the Au? ditor's office, John Lynch, of Indiana, is chief of the money order division, a gentleman whose ex? perience and abilities eminently qualify him for his responsible position. Associated with Mr. Lynch arc twenty-two clerks; During the last fiscal year the post office of New York city has issued 11,817 ordersy and paid 86,079 orders. For orders drawn on that office $1,387,977 has been paid, and for orders insucd $312,9-07- roceived." -O SENSIBLE ADVICE. There is so much good, sound sense in the an? nexed paragraphs, from the Athens (Gco.) Watch? man, that we are constrained to give theni a promi? nent place in our columns. While it is almost too late for any real, substantial good to be accom? plished in this State, yet wo are satisfied that if tho respectable white vote be not unnecessarily di? vided, the cvidonce of strength and concert of ac? tion will be powerful against the vicious and cor? rupt : "We would again most respectfully advise our friends to keep cool on the Convention question. No good can grow out of quarreling about it, but, on the contrary, much harm might ensue. Let all, then, strive to keep cool. "As we have frequently said before, we regard a Convention as a foregone conclusion. We cannot, therefore, see any propriety in quarreling about it. If the sound, conservative and patriotic people of the State do not take hold of and control it, it will fall into the hands of the ignorant, vicious and corrupt portion of the population, whoso leaders will frame such a Constitution as no honest white man can live under. Why,-then, quarrel over non essentials ? why split up and divide and waste our strength in the vain attempt to prevent what is admitted to be inevitable ? "Instead of quarreling about the right of Con? gress to pass such laws, let us go forward in reor? ganizing under them, inasmuch as we cannot ignore the fact that they possess the power, and are daily wielding it against us, whilo we confessedly have no means of resistance. "Inasmuch as the Convention will be hold, let the people see to it that they arc represented by sound, reliable men, who will do the best they can, under the circumstances, to secure to themselves and their children tho blessings of good govern? ment. "It- will be remembered that tho action of tho Convention is not final?that the Constitution it may adopt must be ratified by the people before it has any vitality. Here, then, is the timo and place to make the fight. If the Constitution the Convention may adopt shall bo considered objec? tionable, let the people vote it down. ? The Illinois State Register BayB: "The drought still continues, and corn, for the most part, is damaged beyond help. Even should co? pious rains now visit us, Illinois will not yield over half an avorngc crop this year, and it is doubt? ful if matters arc not.even worse" GOING INTO BANKRUPTCY. Tbc following synopsis of the Bankrupt law, made by Mr. D. N. Bingham,the Commissioner in Bankruptcy at Montgomery, Alabama, will be of interest to many of our readers: I. Petitioners under the Bankrupt Act arc re quiredto render a schedule of all--their debts and liabilities of every kind and description whatsoever, and also, an inventory of- their estate, both real and personal, including all property and effects, of which they arc possessed, or in which they may have an interest, (though not iu possession,) iu conformity with ccrfain;"Fornis" prescribed in the "General Orders" of the Supreme Court of tho United States. These schedules, verified by oath of the petitioner, must accompany the petition, and when Sled with the registrar, is the commence? ment of proceedings in- bankruptcy. II. Debtors contemplating bankruptcy, may dis? pose of any properly, to which they have aright, to raise money to pay the deposit fco of S-30, snd such property need not be rendered in their invcn~ tory, beyond seating the fact of its disposition nnd the purpose to which the proceeds were applied. III. Bankrupts arc entitled to the following list of property out of their estates, (if they have it,) exempt by the laws of Alabama?to wit: wearing apparel of self and family, a long list of furniture, all books, portraits and pictures, all implements of trade, three cows and calves, ono horse or mule, or yoke of oxen, one wagon or cart, twenty bogs, twenty sheep, firo hundred pounds of meat, one hundred bushels of corn, all the meal on hand, one thousand pounds of fodder or oats, twenty-five bushels of sweet potatoes, thirty pounds of wool, ono hundred pounds of cotton, two plows and gear, two axes, all cloth on hand, all poultrj', gun, and homestead of forty acres of land, worth five hun? dred dollars. In addition to this, the 14th section of the Bankrupt law excepts from the provisions of the Act, "the necessary household and kitchen furnituro and such other articles and necessaries of such bankrupt, as the assignee shall designate and set apart, having reference in the amount, to ' the family, condition and circumstances of the bankrupt, but altogether not to exceed tho sum of five hundred dollars in value, in any one case *r also the wearing apparel of such bankrupt, and that of his wife and children, and the uniform, arms and equipments of any person who is, or has been, a soldier in the militia, or in the scrvico of the United States, and such other property as now is, or here? after shall be exempted from attachment or seizure, or levy on execution by the laws of the United States." IV. The assignee has no right to the labor or personal earnings of the bankrupt, between the bankruptcy and the discharge, for that would de? prive him and his family of the means of subsis? tence Hence, petitioners will not be required to include the growing crop in the inventory of their effects, and all bankrupts whose pctilions arc filed anterior to the maturity of their crop, and before its severance from the soil, will keep and use it, the same as other property acquired by their per? sonal industry, the rule being that the profits of the personal industry of the bankrupt between the bankruptcy and the discharge do not pass to the assignee. It was held under the United States bankrupt law, of 1841, that all the acquisitions of a bankrupt, after the filing of his petition, are ex? empt from liability to pay debts previously con? tracted. V. "Whatever beneficial interest the bankrupt has in the wife's property passes to the assignee, but a court of equity, if its assistance is required to realize such interest to the bankrupt's estate, will protect the interest of the wife and children by imposing terms upon the assignee, stipulating that a provision be made for her and her children out of the fund. If, however, the property be set? tled, or a gift inures to the separate use of the wife, then the assignee takes nothing, because the bankrupt had no equitable interest therein. NEWS ITEMS. ?

Memphis, Sept. I& Some iim-e since, the office of the Kayh news? paper, at Camden, Arkansas, was destroyed by soldiers, led on by Maj. Pierce. Col.

Ord and Neil's forces were detailed to enable them to perform their duties ; they were not. servants of the people of Arkansas, but rather their masters; and he felt it to be a great phec of impertinence for newspapers in the State to coii.i-cnt on Neil, under any circumstan? ces whatever.

You will please explain why this act was not prevented by you, as post commander, and if the requirements of (ho thirty-second article of war have been complied with. Your assertion that Gen. Noil's forces are not the servants of the people of Ar? kansas, but rather their masters,, is unjust, both to the people and Gen.

"Resolved, That we disclaim any communication whatever with what is known as McAlistcr's League, and hope that all good citizens will discountenance their riotous conduct." I Ha*no intimation of a Leagne being formed, nor had nothing to do with getting it up. A few days previous to the first meeting that was pub? lished, as gotten up by Iliottc, Mr. A. J.

At the conclusion of Iliottc's speech, wc all had to-re? tire to a branch, as spoken of in Resolution No. 7, of said Committee. The well bucket and rope was removed from tho well at Dr. Milford's, and the way to the spring obstructed, and the above named branch was the only place left to get water. Resolution No. 3. ''That wc do not approve of his conduct at Bclton, on the 30th, when he tried to get the colored portion of the meeting to go to themselves, saying that the white men would give then* no opportunity to speak, which we found to be untrue." I did not speak to but two freedmcn on that day. All I said to one of them, was, to put my horses to my buggy. As I was leaving the stand I said to another that I was going to leave, and I thought he had better go too. Tluit is- all the- conversation 1 had to any freedmarr on that day. Resolution No. 4. ^-Tirnt wc consider his conduet unbecoming in one who holds office under the United Stales Government, as all s*icharc supposed to he advocates of peace" I have staled truthfully what can be proven. I have never tried to cause disturbance in the com? munity. I have always been a peaceable citizen? was for pence at the commencement of the war? was violently opposed to secession, which caused the war. I am for peace still, and expect to dis? charge the duties of my office faithfully, honestly, and fcsvlessly. N. McALISTEJi. September Ylth. 1SC7. New Advertisements. "WANTED. FOUR MARKS.
