January 1, offei'iug, in that east-, to waive thc time allowed for the withdrawal of thc remainder, and to remove all substantially atone time, which proposition was not assented to. There is no .official confirmation of the it-ports about our Government demanding payment from England <>f the Alabama claims, nor that a determination haw bein roached to establish a protectorate over Mexico. A lengthy letter, iront Secretary Brown- j ing, addressed to a committee at Quincy, j 111., in response to an invitation to deliver an address on political topics, is published ? tins morning, lt argues forcibly against tho constitutional amendment, and ni vin? dication of the President's policy; says it j is his purpose, aa thc Executive head of the nation, to maintain and preserve the i Constitution as it is. , The Commissioner of Customs has pre? pared a statement called for by resolut inns nf the House during the session, with re? ference to the disposition of all cut tun and : other property coming into the bauds <>f Treasury agents during the war.

THE GOVERNMENT OF rm: MINOBITY.- In view of thc fact that if the people of all the States were permitted to vote, the Ja cobins would be in an overwhelming and I hopeless minority, their arrogant claim toi the right to rule the nation is as astound? ing as lt is shameless. At the same time] that they assert that the majority have the right to rule, they, backed by not more than two-fifths of the voters or' the nation, : force their iniquitous policy upon our sta- | tuto books, ana, regardless alike of decen- ! ey and the guarantees of the Constitution, exclude ten States from all participation in tho Government. This state of things is entirely incompatible with the continuance ; of our republican institutions. The prece? dents the Jacobins are now establishing will inevitably react upi in themselves, and in time the North will be made t<> feel thc j injustice it ' is now inflicting upon tin? smith. The majority exhibited in the Northern States in the popular vote isalto- i gether insignificant when compared to the ? aggregate vote; while, if the vote of thc South were added to that opposed to thc ; radical party, that party would be con temptible in its weakness. Bat a series of unfortunate circumstances have given them t he power tn exclude the Southern vote, and so long as thar vote is excluded, the reins of power arc secured to thom. Hence we see thu desperate and ruinous policy they advocate thrust upon ns. So long as they can continue this state of! things, they imagine that they are safe, and neither the Constitution, nor laws, nor ! decency, nor respect fur public opinion will restrain them in the slightest degree. But ! a day of retribution will surely conic, and then woe to thc unscrupulous knaves who ; have so shamelessly disregarded thc known .viii of the people, ami proved so faithless to their oaths and dut e's. [ Louisville Cottril r. THE RADICAL 'GOVERNORS INVOKED TO RESIST THE LAW.-We have good . reason to believe (our authority being one of the first men in Connecticut) that Colonel Forney, Secretary of the United States Senate, and editor of ' the Washington Chronicle and Phila del ph ia P?~ess, is writing to the* radi? cal Governors of the States to be ready to march State troops into Ma? ryland, and put down Gov. Swa. nby force of arms, in ease lui should think proper,jnfter hearing and trial, > re? move the partizan police commis? sioners of Baltimore for violation of j the law. Such a letter, we are assured, has been sent to Governor Hawley, of Connecticut. We should be glad to know that Vhe statement is not true, and still more gratified to believe, on authority, there would be no response to a call so uncalled for illegal and revolutionary in its purpose; but these vile men, who have lived and thriven upon the horrors of war. and who are ready to sacrifi?e right, rea? son, and liberty, and everybody's property bu it h cir own, to the lias? sions of the hour, are ripe and ready ^ for the worst that can be contem? plated, and it becomes all conserva? tive men to be upon the watch for this threatened demonstration. \Xetc York Express. A newspaper in England wound up an account of a murderer with this . odd anti-climax: "For thc safety of society, it is impossible mercy can be extended to him (tho condemned) in this world; beyond that the provinei of the journalist does not extend." THE PROJECTED CXT? OV NEWI>ORT .SEWS.- -Wc copy from the Washinsr ton ?or; On the left bank*of the James River, where, it empties into Hamp? ton Roads, there is au insignificant village, which, like many others in Virginia, was never heard m until mentioned in connection with mili I ta ry movements on thc Peninsula, known as Newport Nows, [t is now claimed, not only that the name will : live in history, but that its situation is destined to make it the commercial ! city of Virginia, and a formidable rival to older settlements in that State and Maryland. ! The harbor is said to be the finest 1 on the Atlantic sea-board, is four feet deeper than that of New York, and is not barred by ice in winter, nor af? fected bj* yellow fever in summer. To make these advantages available, a company has been chartered, with a capital of $3,000,000, to construct what is called the "Richmond and Newport News Railroad," though whether the road will pass through Richmond is a point not yet settled. At any rate, it is intended to connect with the Covington and Ohio Pail road, making the connection complete between the great North-west ami the sea-board. The commissioners arc Tames Lyons. Thomas H. Wynne, (purchaser of the Richmond Ewt miner.) and H. G. Pant, (well known in this eommunily.) On the ?2dult., they advertised that they had de? posited the $100,000 required by thc charter previous t<> commencing ope? rations. The great majority of thc stockholders me said to be citizens ol Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis. The cost of constructing the road will be small, as it is nearly an air line, and no grade will exceed fifteen feel to the mite. Besides, the people alon?, the line are. it is said, anxious tc have the road built, and will, in : majority of eases, give the company thc right of way. Ax INCIDENT IX HISTORY.- A re spousible and wealthy planter of tim State, says the New Orleans Hull,.tin called upon President Johnson, thre< or four days prior to July 30-theda' fixed for the bogus Convention toas sembh-and a conversation ensne< upon the condition of political affair in Louisiana. The Louisianian de nounced the animosity of Goveruo Wells to the policy of tho Adminis tration in such strong terms AS t cause the President to start from hi chair with the exclamation: "Can it be true that he is real! antagonistic to me? Why, tin re is letter from him which flatly (?ontm diets your \vu-ds." "That, may be, sir," responded th President's visitor, "but the radica! also have letters pledging his fait equally as strong to them." The fact was proven to Mr. Join son's satisfaction, that Gov. Wei! was thus playing a double game, an most important consequences r< suited from this conviction. A di spatch which had already been wri ten, and which would have placed tl military forces in New Orleans at tl. dispos:;) of Governor Wells, was m sent. Is it not possible that the expect? receipt of tins despatch may accou: for Hie singular conduct of Gener Baird on the day of the riot; lik wise the timor of bis letter to May? Monroe, a few days previous! M: the Conventionites and their syrup thizers not have hoped, until the la moment, for the important messai to ciiine along? - -? ?- ? THE ZroN PREA?YT?RIAN CHURCJ CALHOUN STREET.-The Zion Presb terian Church, at the evacuation the city, was used by the Methodis with tin- consent of the sexton the church. Before the occupati? of the city by tin- Union troops, was taken possession of, and used 1 some colored people, and finally p into the hands of Rev. Jonathi Giles, a colored preacher connect? with the Presbyterian Church at tl North. Application was made in Novemb last for the restoration of the prop? ty to its lawful owners. But on sot flinisey pretence of ownership set i by tin- Freedman's Counsellor of t Northern Presbyterian Church, t application was refused by Gen. S; ton. With earnest and patient < forts the ?daim of the owners v\ urged upon '.n. Scott. The p: ten ces of the Freedmen's Commiti ?f the Presbyterian Church w< abandoned, and after the r?f?rer of the matter by Gen. Scott to G< Howard, in Washington, the prop ty was yesterday restored to the e poration. The counsel employed in the ci by the owners were Messrs. Sinn ton k Barker and Porter A Conn who, after ten months of the ni diligent and persevering exertio have the great satisfaction of seei then effort? crowned with success. j Charleston Courier INLAND SEA-PORT.--Memphis been tryin? for a number of year.? ?'stablish a dtr?jet trade with Euri particularly with Belgium-une at last about t?> succeed. The Ci merdai, of that city, says: "We h the best authority for stating that novel spectacle of an ocean craft i charging her cargo, brought from slum s of another continent, will presented at our landing at an ei day. ( hie. Mans Boye is now load six ships at. Marseilles, France, di: for Memphis, ami the first of fleet will probably cast anchor din the coming week. FEELING AMONO THE SOLDIERS. -Thc following incident related by a gene? ral oflicer of the Confederate army, while commenting upon *hc aspect of affairs nt the North, buows that thc race of great and good men ia not yet extinct even in Yankee land. Gen. D. H. Hill, in a late number of the Land ice Love, says: "But wo con? fess we look for more good from the 'Soldier's Convention.' The men who have had mutual hate knocked ! out and mutual respects knocked in by hard blows, are thc men after all, to cement the Union, if tho delicate 1 operation can ever bo done. We hope that we will be pardoned for a j personal incident in this connection, j We had two particular friends in the j old United States anny ; the one born j North of tho Susquehanna, tho other South of it. Both adhered to the i United States Government. The ! Northern mau took the field and i fought us obstinately; thc Southern j kept out of harm's way, but secured j a good paying position, as a teacher, i After the war, wc wrote to the latter : a brief business letter, which he re? fused to answer. The former, learning that we had fallen into the hands of the 'Blessed Bureau' and other be? nevolent institutions, sent us n. kind invitation to bring the wife and little rebs to spend the summer months with Lim. It is easy in this case to answer the question, 'which now of these two, thinkest thou, is neighbor unto him, which fell among thieves?' " WHO BEGAN THE WAK.-At the re? cent mongrel soldiers' convention at Pittsburg, the following scenes oc? curred: Major Wilson, of Indiana, said he observed the delegates from Virginia and Kansas sitting side by side in the convention. It would be remembered that the first fighting of the conflict just ended occurred between these two States, at Harper's Ferry. In order that the humble individual at the White House might have some? thing to slied tears over, he suggest ed three cheers for Kansas and Virginia. A Delegate-You may make them take a hug. Major Wilson-Yes; J move that the}' take a hug. Thc Chair-Major Wilsou moves that for effect. [Laughter.] The humble individual at Washington may have had cause to shed tears if the representatives of Virginia and Kansas, who took part in the first conflict, be greeted bv the "Bovs in Blue." The John Brown party is finally getting honest, it owns up now that it commenced the war by a midnight thieving and cut-throat expedition into Virginia, lt feels so sure of suc? cess that it has at last thrown oft' its hypocrisy. "But when a man think eth he standeth, let him take heed iest ho fall."-Bay Book. --?-??-*- - . 'CAN SUCH THINGS BK ?"-We know that it will sound strange in the ears of this community, especially those of us who have been lavish in expen? sive "get-ups" for the opera, to know that two families of aged and desti? tute females have been perishing with hunger iu the height of our revelry; and yet stich is the fact. Some of our city officers, in their rides on the outskirts of the city, discovered two families of aged white females in a shanty belonging to the eity, below the Fair Grounds, and near tho swamp, who had not tasted food in nearly three days, and who were too infirm to make 'their destitution known! As soon as apprised of the fact, Mayor Collins had them promptly removed to tho city hospital, where they will receive proper care and nourishment. [Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. MINORITY. GOVERNMENT.-It is be? yond question, that of the tax-paying, native-born citizens of the United States, there is to-day a majority of more than a million against tho radi? cal party. If our radical politicians succeed in impressing on the popular mind the idea that the majority of the people of the United States have ti right to rule tho United States without regard to the Constitution, they will soon find that disabilities, created by the will of a majority in temporary power, will be swept to the winds. It is a curious blunder for sensible men to make, this doc? trine that a minority may make laws disfranchising a large portion of ibo people, and then claim that they rule by virtue of being a majority. Such an absurdity will not stand the test of a moment's examination, nor could the power of a minority be sustained against the majority on any such grounds. \New York Journal of Commerce. A PICTURE OP CHICAGO.-The Chi? cago Post, edited by Hon. David Blackely, formerly Secretary of the State of Minnesota, draws a picture of Chicago that is not flattering: If any living rational, reasoning creature, is a disbeliever in the total depravity of man, a six months' resi? dence in Chicago will cure him of the infatuation. Few cities on the continent of America are infested by a race of moro unmitigated villains; murder, rapine, outrage, and every other offence in the catalogue of crime are daily perpetrated. Virtue is made tho sport of every designing Lothario, and boldly entering tho sacred precincts of tho domestic cir? cle, they snatch their victims from homes of happiness and virtue, and consign them to disgrace and in? famy. RADICAL DIABOLISM.-A special ?lu- j spatch to Forney's Chronicle, flated 1 Baltimore, October 21, says: "Tho bold stand of the Unionists j of Baltimore in opposition to the plans of tho rebels is producing its ' natural fruits. Tho Mayor stands ! firm in supporting the police commis? sioners in refusing the orders of Gov. Swann. The -whole staff of Swann have resigned and taken sides with the radicals. Gens. Kenly, Denison and Woolley have reported for duty to tho Mayor. 800 policemen and 3,000 "Boys in Blue" are in arms and ready. Last night, tho Union men met in their respective wards and organized for instant action." INTERNATIONAL OCEAN TELEGRAPH. Mr. William* H. Hoiss, one of the oldest telegraph superintendents in the country, has accepted the posi? tion of superintendent for the build? ing of the International Ocean Tele? graph Lino, and will sail in a few days for Florida, through a portion of which State the lino is to be built. | Several leading citizens and public men of Florida have suggested that the hue be built from Fernandina to Cedar Keys, on the West side of the State, thence by cable to Havana. J This will be determined upon by Mr. j Hoiss, if the practicability of the sug- j gested route is made manifest by per- ; sonal inspection and survey. A mau was brought before a Paris court, not long since, for not heeding | ; the law "that no dog should go at ? large without a muzzle." Ic de- I j fence, ho alleged that his dog had a j ! muzzle. j j "How is that?" asked the justice. "Oh," said the defendant, "tho I act says nothing as to where the \ muzzle should be placed, and as I j know my dog hates muzzles, I put it j on his tail." THE FLORIDA MURDERERS.-On the 13th inst., the four negroes who had been found guilty of the murder of Jesse W. Dickson, Marshal of the town of Quincy, were sentenced to ! ? be hung on the 2d day of November, i . The consol for the prisoners, who had j I taken exceptions to the hading of ! j the jury, after a more thorough exa- j I initiation of the case, withdrew the j i bill of exceptions, and the prisoners | I will probably meet their just deserts. ? STEEL, RAIDS. -The London and1 I North-western Railway Company, in ; England, have already laid sixty three milos of steel rails on their road, 1 and the work of relaying witlr steel, instead of iron, is to be continued. I On the Great Northern Railway of j England, steel rails have also been ; laid at all the principal stations, and : on the steepest inclines. An expansive safety bridge, to be used on railroad cars, to enable pas- ! sengers to pass in safety from one car to another-a recent Yankee invention --is being adopted on all the New ' ! England roads. Tt adapts itself to all the motions of the cars-expanding when they are apart, and contracting . when they come together. A young lawyer was asked by a judge whether, in tho translation of \ ; souls, he would prefer being turned ! into a horse or an ass? "An ass," quickly replied the law ! y?r "Why?" asked the judge. ? "Because I have heard of nu ass j being a judge, but never a horse." i Mr. R. A. Alexander ?hipped, on j ! Monday, from Lexington, to H. San ! ford, Esq., of New York, thirteen j colts, bought by that gentleman at , j thc recent sale. The lot was com- ; j posed of nine Lexington colts, two i ! Scythians, ono Australian and one ' i Revenue. ? Punch tells of a city mun who never ? . got up till twelve at noon, because, ; ? he said, it was only fair, as day broke j in the morning, to give it a chance ? j of redeeming its position before be- ; j ginning business with it. A former slave of Mr. Irby's, in Lynchburg, hid some gold for his master in ?865, but wheu it was called j for, he could not find it. He has : lately found it, however, and is keep- \ ing it for the owner. Rev. Peter Cartwright writes that he has'spent sixty-two years as a regu? lar itinerant preacher, and during that period received but two years' | salary. "Why, isn't my shirt clean?" quoth one Bohemian to another. "Well, yes," was tho answer; "it's i j clean for brown, but it's awful dirty I I for white." j H. G. is said to have made $100,000 ! j already out of "The American Con I fliet," and he isn't half done. Per ! haps the figures may rise into the . "loyal millions." A cylinder printing press is said to '? have been invented in Leipsic, which ! can print 14,000 sheets an hour, and ! costs far less than Hoe's great Ameri ; can press. Gen. Sweeney is at home at Wa- j I terton, N. Y\, with his ""family, and ; i says he intends, for tho present, to j stay there. Kossuth's ill health has so changed his appearance that he is scarcely re- ; cognizable. A wag tells of a landlady who made j her tea so weak that it couldn't get np the spoe* of the tea-pot. Government allows Mr. Davis 620 per week for the purchase of rations. ' Tho Tennessee Legislature meets j on Monday, November 5. I The population of Texas is rapidly increasing by immigration. The Now Albany (Ind.) Ledger] snys: We have heard of contracts for stock hogs in Washington and Law? rence Counties, ut eleven cent:? por pound. This is higher than last \ years" rates, and eousidoring thc j largo supply and the extraordinary j corn crop, is much abov. thc market j for the past ten year-. The "Montana Republican says chere . is on deposit, in Helena, a har of gold weighing 198 ouuees. The. owner of this little brick also unload? ed at Hershfield's bank a safe con? taining 500 pounds of gold dust, which with 200 pounds more, was thc result of two and a half months work upon Montana bar. Mr. McMillen, a British woolen ; manufacturer, has determined to i move his establishment to this coun? try, and locate it nt Buffalo.
