Thc Action of LouUiona.
The radical prints have attempted
to misrepresent vu.c tsuuie - ???lit
resolution concerning the condition
of the freedmen of Louisiana to pass
the Legislature of that State, as an
index of the determination of its citi?
zens to refuse the blacks equality be?
fore the law; and correspondents from
that State have tiied to make it ap?
pear that Louisiana was covertly op?
posed to Mr. Johnson's reconstruc?
tion policy, because of the omission
of the same body to pass endorse?
ment resolutions which were recently
offered in the State Senate.
See how plain a tale will put to the
blush these calnminators of a gallant
State. Their stories are false in every
part.
To the Senate Committee on Fede?
ral Relations were referred both sets
of resolutions, those endorsing Presi?
dent Johnson and those referring to
the condition of tho Louisiana freed?
men. The Chaira an of that Com?
mittee reported that the first named
set of resolutions wore quite unneces
sar3', inasmuch as a set similar in all
respects had been but recently before
the Legislature r-.nd received its
hearty endorsement. Of these, we
give the last two:
2. Be it further resolved, etc., That
in the expression that "the Southern
people must be trusted," President
Johnson exhibited a thorough ac?
quaintance with the Southern cha?
racter, and eminent wisdom and
statesmanship ; and that it is our firm
resolve to justify ibis confidence and
to sustain the President in his efforts
to restore these States to representa?
tion in Congress, and a position oi
political equality in the Union.
3. Be it further resolved, etc., Thal
the people of Louisiana are unre
served in their purpose of loyalty
and, if permitted, that to the Consti
tution of the United States and tin
Brt^ Union of the States thereunder, d(
JH they look for their future happinea
ST and prosperity.
j^K-vAJLegislature must, indeed, esteen
^^^PS^uTt?rances r'ghtly, if it were t<
^^^make haste - hin four months t<
repeat such an avowal as this. J
man even must needs have change?
his opinions, or come to think pre
cious little of them, who would d<
the thing which the Louisiana Legis
lature is so grossly misrepresents
for not doing-a second time.
Southern Relief.
The Philadelphia Inquire)- of th
u. ? 26th inst, has got a very insultin
T article on the approaching Baltimoi
Fair. It says that the Southern pee
pie have suffered immensely for tb
l^/foily of rebellion, and if the Fair i
? ; - honestly benevolent, and not intende
Cto make heroes of the people wh
* were chastised by the United Statei
\ all will be well. We have just sue
I an institution, with similar object
Lp*-- in operation among us, the Unio
Commission, but it is in the hands <
loyal men, who sustained the eounti
throughout the struggle and are no
willing to alleviate the distresses <
those who suffer for their folly. Bi
the Baltimore Fair is in the liane
of well-known secestionists, sympi
I thizers with treason, who rejoice
^ when Maryland was invaded, an
\ contributeel their funds to a sui
v scription for a sword for Harry Gi
I , mor. Whether in getting up th
^ ^ project they are spiteful, rather tha
r*" truly charitable, may well be askc(
We notice than Mason, the grei
Commissioner in England for the e:
. * Confederacy, writes to the Londc
Times in favor of the proposed Fai
ah intervention which will do tl
project no good in the eyes of loy;
citizens. The Fair will shortly be i
operation, and we can then jud?

.The Second Veto Metingc.
We give our readers, thia morninj
a synopsis of the message of Pres
dent Johnson, vetoing what is know
as the "Civil Bights Bill." This vel
message justifies all we have ?aid <
Presielent Johnson-hisconservatisn
bis patriotism, and iiis determinate
to preserve the Union.
We are pleased to learn from pa
ties just arrived from Washingtoi
that it is the intention of the Pres
dent to carry out his scheme i
restoration at all hazards.
PRICE OF FLOUR.-The Subsisten*
Department at Washington, on Moi
day, opened the bids for furnishii
the Government with 2,000 barre
Gen. Wade Hampton.
We clip the following eloquent vin?
dication of our distinguished fellow
citizen from the Memphis Ava?
lanche, one of the most sterling papers
published in the country. This com?
munity will endorse and appreciate
this noble utterance, from a paper
which has ever been foremost in its
defence of the interest of the South:
"Wado Hamptou accuses Gen.
Sherman of falsehood, and charges
npon him the responsibility of burn?
ing the city of Columbia, S. C. Wade
need not expect by his slander to
cover up his own infamy."
We find the above extract in the
Nashville Union, (not the Union and
American.) The course of the Union
has heretofore been characterized by
decency, courtesy and justice,, and we
aro at a loss for the appearance in its
columns of the above extract, which
is so entirely inconsistent with its
former character. There never was a
more causeless, wicked and unjustifi?
able assault upon any man than the
above upon Geu. Wade Hampton.
The soldier's honor is all he saved in
the late struggfe, and we are pained
to see an effort made to rob one of
our noblest men of this priceless boon.
The reputation of Wade Hampton
? is spotless. He was one of the strong
men on whom the South leaned in
I the late struggle. His genius-his
I patriotism-his gallantry and soldier?
ly conduct-made him one of the
cherished idols of the South. His pri?
vate character is pure and blameless.
Slander has never tainted it-scandal
has never dared to defame it; aud
after many years of public association
and of exposure to the temptations
and trials that assail his high.position,
he passed through all with a r?pudia?
tion unsullied and uncorrupted. The
malignity of the most violent party
excitements has never assailed his
name. J Gen. Hampton embarked his
all in the war. He entered the struggle
rich-he came out standing upon the
fragments, caring to ?me nothing but
his honor. With this preserved, he
is still rich; without it he is poor as
the editor who wantonly assails a
noble soldier, or traduces a model
gentleman.

SMUGGLING.-~A vessel laden with
rum and sugar, direct from the West
Indies, has been seized in the port of
New Bern, North Carolina, for failure
to pay the import duty on the cargo.
Another vessel, with a cargo of rum,
has been seized under the same cir?
cumstances at Providence, Rhode
Island. Both vessels, with their car?
goes, have been confiscated.
SOUTHERN RELIEF FAUR IN LONDON.
Mr. Mason, the ex-Confederate Com?
missioner in London, publishes the
following letter in the Times, in sup?
port of the bazaar about to be held
by the ladies of Baltimore, in aid of
those in the Southern States who are
suffering from the late war:
Sm: Will you allow me a brief
space in your columns to return my
thanks to Mr. Herbert, a gentleman
to whom I have not the good fortune
to be known, for his letter in the
Times, of this morning, on behalf of
the suffering people of the Southern
States of America?
The "Ladies of Baltimore," to
whom he refers, have written to me
also in regard to the bazaar they pro?
pose to hold in that city for the relief
of those in (I quote from their letter)
"the different Southern States where
they have suffered the most from the
devastating armies of the North."
With those ladies who are chiefly in
charge I have been long and inti?
mately acquainted. They are of
those who, during the whole war (al?
though its devastations never reached
their homes), ministered personally,
old and young, to the prisoners in
the hospitals of that city, and who,
year after year, impoverished them?
selves that they might send relief to
Southern prisoners at a distance, so
long held in confinement by the
enemy. They are thus trained and
practiced in those paths of benevo?
lence they still seek to explore. Nor
could funds intended for such bene?
volence be confided to better or more
judicious hands. In their sugges?
tions to me I have not felt at liberty,
from a just sensibility, to appeal to
any but to those few of my own coun?
trymen in England who have any
means left them. Yet. without vio?
lating such sensibility, it is perhaps
due to those ladies to say that any
voluntary contributions in aid of
their noble efforts which may be sent
to me shall certainly reach them, with
the names of the donors.
As to the suffering in the Southern
States, it may suffice to say, that in
all those States through which tho
invading armies passed, but chiefly in
Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia,
whole districts of country were deso?
lated and reduced to a wilderness,
everything that conduced to human
sustenance destroyed, and those there
inhabiting, many in affluence, all ia
independence, reduced to the abso?
lute want of the bare necessities of
life-a want none had ever known
before, except when relieving it in
j others from their own abundance.
Very respectfully, your obedient
(servant, J. M. MASON.

Street Commissioner of New York,

From Washington.
Among the persons lately pardoned
by the President are Messrs. W. N.
Edwards, of North Carolina; James
T. V. Thompson, of Missouri; Mrs.
Laura Comer, of Georgia, and Mr..
H. B. Andrews, of Texas-the two
latter coming under the 820,000
clause.
The Supreme Court has decided the
Massachusetts liquo r eases, affirming
the judgment of the State Court, to
the effect that a United States license
gives no right to sell liquors in viola?
tion of a State law.
The Joint Committee of Fifteen,
or at least the House wing of that
important body, is said to be in a
painful state . of iusuoordination.
Some of the most formidable talkers
in the committee are clamorous for
reporting a resolution admitting the
I Tennessee delegation at once, with
! out any further ifs and ands. The
j obnoxious portion of the last resolu
! tion reported from the committee waj
j only adopted in committee by a ma?
jority of one, and Thad, is obliged to
work steadily and persistently to keep
the figures thus. Meanwhile, the
fears of Thad's followers in the com?
mittee are being worked upon by the
conservative members of the House
and by lugubrious tales about the
waning power of the party in their
own districts. They are especially
anxious about the result of the Con?
necticut election. If Gen. Hawley
should happen to be beaten there,
thero would not be a member of the
committee left standing, except, per?
haps, old Thad. The admission of
Tennessee hangs upon the election in
Connecticut.
Cases have recently come to light
in which the President has been
swindled in some of his appointments
by the radicals. Several Congress?
men, known to be blind followers of
Thaddeus Stevens, but shrewd enough
to keep their names oft' the record of
votes on all important measures, have
secured good things for their friends
by professing fast friendship for the
President. Once or twice this has
operated injuriously to the real
friends of the President, and has
been hailed by the country press as
an evidence that the President was
disposed to succumb to radical influ?
ence and "g<; back on his friends," as
the phrase is. This state of affairs
has brought a number of lately de?
posed postmasters to Washington to
set themselves right before the de?
partment and the President, and get,
if possible, a reversal of the decision
which deposed them. The action of
the department in all these cases
proves that the safest course for Go?
vernment officials is to preserve a
clear record as supporters of the Pre?
sident's reconstruction and general
policy.-Cor. New York Herald.
COTTON LANDS GOING BACK TO A
WILDERNESS.-A correspondent of
the Mobile Advertiser, upon whose
judgment the editor relies, gives a
gloomy picture of the future. He
says:
What are the facts in regard to a
general cultivation of cotton and re?
turn of negroes to field labor ? A
large proportion of the field hands are
dead. Another large number have
left the cotton-growing States. The
cotton-producing lands in the bot?
toms will not be in cultivation this
year nor the next: to a great degree
I they are going back into the wilder?
ness. In no part of the country is a
large proportion of the ianr ? likely to
be planted in cotton ; much even of
the uplands in Alabama and Missis?
sippi will not be planted at all. A
great number of the negroes are about
the towns and villages, with no sort
of intention of returning to the planta?
tions. Another fact, known only to
those who are making the effort to
make cotton under the present aspect,
is the general opposition of the negro
women to field labor. The more
sensible of the men see and feel the
nec?isity of labor in the cotton field,
j but there is a settled opposition on
! the part of the women to go to the
? field again. They want to go into
. society and have a piano. The wo
i men are the main cotton-pickers.
? When the negroes made contracts
j to make cotton, it was very cold and
1 Avet; they had no houses to live in;
j no provisions to live on; they were
j disappointed about the division of
lauds and mules. They said, well, if
we have to work, we might as well
make a contract. They were, to a
j great degree, compelled to make an
I engagement to work. But when the
i pressure of work in the heat of the ,
j spring and summer comes on, will he
perform his contract ? That is the i
; question. Thc shade-tree on the ;
i bank of a stream will afford house !
enough, and he can forage at Ir.rge I

NAPOLEON'S PLAN XS MEXICO.-The
President transmitted to the House
of Representatives, in compliance
with a resolution asking for infor?
mation on the general condition of
Mexico, an immense bulk of docu?
ments from tho year 1864 to the pre?
sent time. Much of it has hereto?
fore been published, aud the re?
mainder presents but a few points of
public interest. One of the papers
shows that the Mexican Republic
granted permission to our military
forces to pass over its territory in
order to conduct a campaign against
the Apache Indians. Minister Ro?
mero, March 9, 1866, transmits to
Secretary Soward a copy of a letter
dated Paris, February 19, 1866, the
writer of which, he says, is worthy in
all respects of confidence, and the
sources from which he derives his
knowledge authentic. The letter is
as follows:
"I have derived from a personal
conversation with a high functionary
of the French Empire the following
facts: That at the last two confer?
ences of the Councils of Ministers it
was resolved to try a middle course
on tLe Mexican question, which gives
these ministers disquiet who have
been lor the simp] withdrawal ol
the French forces. It seems that this
middle course consists in forming in
Mexico a Franco-American party,
which is to hoist as a new standarc
the departure of Maximilian and the
re-establishment of the republic wit!
Bazaine as President, etd interim.
Thus it is thought to stop the trou
bles of the United States. Absurd a?
this project may appear, there is nc
room to doubt of its existence. Tin
news conies borne out by various an
tecedents-the invincible repugnance
which Napoleon feels to withdrawing
his troops without dissembling th<
J rumor which is alloat that Bazaine i:
j working for himself in Mexico, nm
j the project being the theme ol' al
j the French employees and function
aries, who have for some time been
informing Napoleon that the Frene!
army is looked on favorably by th
Mexicans, and that what they dislik
is thc monarchy and the incompetency
of Maximilian. So I have read iron
private letters, which assumes me tin
was tho idea that Bazaine tried to in
culcate in the interviews which h
had with Napoleon.
"By the last packet, a chief of sra:
and an employee of tho Finance Dt
partment have gone out, and^perhap
they go ont to modify, in accordanc
with this idea, the instructions c
I Saillard, for the packet BS even di
layed to wait for them. It is state<
that the Minister of the Eepublic her
is condescending t o this Government
I even to weakness. He flatters an
praises it incessantly with real reel
lessness. "
Secretary Seward, under date t
March ?, 18(56, thanks Senor R?mer
for this and other information coi
tributing so largely to his knowledg
of the events transpiring with regal

THE SUPPLY OF COTTON.-Tlios
dealers who based their operations i
ootton and cotton goods upon tl
report? that were extensively circi
lated soon after the surrender of tl
rebel armies, have been somewhat di
appointed. It was stated that tl
supply in the Southern States won!
not exceed ono million bales, and tin
was all that could possibly be ol
tained until after another crop wi
gathered. These reports were, r
doubt, circulated for an object, an
to keep the price up as long aa posa
ble. At any rate, it had that eflec
and while it deceived many, it kej
the cost of the manufactured gooc
to the consumer at an exorbitant
high ligure, and has nearly ruined
number of cotton speculators. W
seo from a cotton circular just issut
in this city that the number of bal
already received at the different shi
ping ports since the close of tho w
is 1,970,000 bales, or double th
i which was generally reported win
; hostilities were suspended. The san
j circular gives the amount still he
I back at some 300,000 bules. But A
i imagine that it will be found that th
! amount will exceed ratler than f)
? below 500,000 bales. While the su
I ply in this country exceeds the gen
ral expectations, it is also stated th
! the recent shipments from India ha
! been on an enormous scale, and th
1 the quantity already afloat from th
country is such as to justify the e
pectations of an excess in Euro]
from that source.
These facts reveal the danger th
exists to our merchants engaged
the dry goods trade, and the genes
fall in prices which must of necessi
follow. All who have based their e:
culatious and made their parchas
on the idea of a short supply in t
cotton staple must sutler in cons
quence. This great supply of cott
is sufficient of itself to cause a ft
ther decline in gold, and is bringt
us every day nearer a specie bas
That point is coming now as fast
tho country can stand it, and if
add to that legislation to force imn
diate specie payments, wo shall
plunged headlong into a gene:
crash. Instead of legislation on t
finance question, Congress shoi
forthwith secure thc restoration
the South, and thus open ;i marl
for goods by giving confidence to t
public everywhere.

NORTHERN ALABAMA.-A recent I
trip through the Eastern portion of
this, and into Marshall County, says i
the Huntsville Advocate!, revealed to j
us a very gratifying fact. That was, '
the energy, industry and spirit the j
people arc displaying in repairing j
fences, improving dwelling houses, j
clearing up and plowing lauds, sow?
ing oats, preparing to plaut corn
and cotton. AU appear to be hard i
at work, as if determined to make a j
good crop to live on and to sell, if!
Providence sends the early and the j
latter rain. And we ure pleased to 1
see that the people have some hog*,
cattle and sheep left. Plow anima.s I
are very scarce, and more are need- j
ed. Corn is much in demand for
bread, as well as for feeding tho
horses and mules at the plow.
The destitution in the Eastern por?
tion of this County, as well as io j
Marshall, is very great, and the peo- .
pie absolutely need more relief than i
is afforded by the bureau and by the
few individuals who have the means
to help their neighbors. We trust
! that the bonds appropriated by tho
I Legislature; may be at once sold by J
I Gov. Patton, (now North for the pur- I
I pose,) so that the State may afford
! some additional relief to our people. !
Aid now is like seed corn-will yield >
! enough in a short time for self-suste- !
nance. 10,000 bushels of corn j
bought for Marshall County will do ,
j more good now than IOU.OOO sir
j months hence. It will give bread to
the women and children, feed plow :
! animals, secure a good crop, and then :
: aid is no longer needed. The people ;
! arc working as they never worked
I before, and as well a? their want of |
: means to work will permit. Corn is j
j sold in Guntersville at $1.50 per bu
I shel, but all are not able to buy it.
I The people have applied their own
j shoulders to the wheel, and with a
j little help will rise out of the slough
' of despond and get upon brm, self
supporting ground, lt is encourag?
ing to see the life, energy, industry
and resolve not to despair. Let the
same spirit still continue and actuate
all our people everywhere, and we
will again be happy and prosperous
and a great people. Work is self
support-work is the duty of wife I
I and children-work is patriotism- !
: work is religion, for it is fulfilling the I
I decree, by the sweat of his brow man
; shall earn his bread.
"We are glad to hear that the people I
in other parts of Madison, as well as '
in most of North Alabama, are work- ;
' ing in a manner similar to what we I
? have described above, lint, with all ?
their exertions, for the want of stock,
food and labor, not more than-or
as much as-one-half of tho lands
will be cultivated this year. As the
tax on cotton will most likely- be
put at live cents per pound-a very
j erroneous, oppressive and unjust tax
! -we trust that our people will plant
? enough corn, potatoes, peas, tte, as
; to secure an abundance of provisions
! for home consumption, and stop the
j present enormous drain upon our re
? sources for food. By this means, the
I cotton money wiil be sufficient to buy
I groceries, dry goo^H^C^ *? w^J as
1 help to pay debts. FooTr??
as much cotton as you can cul
and save.
A NEW SORT OF HOUSK.-An exten-1
sive puff of a new house, near Phila?
delphia, built by Mr. Jay Cooke for

in these words:
" It is now quite finished, exterior- j
ly, and will contain ifty bed-cham- !1
hers, a chapel, a gymiasium, a libra- ? ?
ry, and all the accessaries to the pala- ! !
tfal home of a Christan banker. " . :?
What peculiar achitectural fea- il
tures are necessary to accommodate 1
a Christian banker, re never yet heard ! ,c
of. It may be in the chapel, but, ,'
then, the devil is sail to have a chapel. , a.
Printing offices wer at onetime called ?
the devil's chapel, nd some of them ! ^
might well be so oded now; We sup- '
pose, however, thl Sir Moses Monti
fioi-e, or a Eothscild, or any of those | -r.
fellows, coulil nottt all live in this i
purely Christian nd evangelical con- I T?
cern, which costsialf a million. It I ?'
is described as a >ry love of a house- i j

and very anniciative. He snakes 1
himself constat heard in the forest, : ne

We may fejtate the country upon j

that the sai order, on a smaller ?

RESUMPTION OF SPEC\
/"HAT COTTON CAN DO.
?surne specie payments as long _
irehases abroad exceed our eiaorti
i the extent that they have for the
st three years. One great cause for
e fall of gold at this time is tho
rge amount of cotton which is being
ipped, which reduces the demand
r gold to pay our foreign indebt- li?
ss. The legislation at Washington
ly bring about a fall in the metal
w and then, through the simple
rt that the brokers iu Wall street.
?Vf? upon the belief that rt must go
wn, manage to lo wer the quotations,
t this is only temporary, and isKft
! to a reaction the moment that tin?
ny is over, lint let the country
se and send to Europe sufficient
ton or any ot lip?- product, to inore
n pay for our purchases abroad,
I there will be no longer a foreign
naud for gold, ?ind specie payments
I come in spite of legislation.
