Tl?c New Vork Charity-Twa Pim-?-?.
We have published an account of
the proee?dings of the meeting held
in tho city of New York, for the pur?
pose of raising funds, Sec., in aid of
the suffering and destitute of our
section. . Tho originators of the pri
ject deserve much credit, and will
receive the thanks and gratitude of
our poor people^ be tho contributions
what they ma}-. It is evidence tin t
there is still a humanity, charity and
benevolence among tho people of a,
section lately arrayed in hostility
against us, which assert their mild
and beneficent sway over tho pas?
sions and prejudices of the hour, and
affords a pleasing contrast to the
action of their"? repr?sentatives in
Congress.
But while we cheerfully pay this
tribute to tho true-hearted men and
women of New York, thc proceed?
ings of the meeting referred to was
?blurred by that apostle of abolition
and fanaticism, Henry Ward Beecher,
Reverend, "so-called." He made a
speech, of course, and, in thc course
of has remarks, is reported to have
said :
"Thc bread they (thc Southern
widows and orphans) would not give
our poor boys in prison, their own
lips crave for. (rive them the loaf
give the loaf. Thc raiment they tooli
from our boys, leaving them, in tin
chilly vinter, to shake and die foi
cold, as long as your looms are fruit
ful, spin off the yards, and send tin
clothes to their shivering limbs."'
More unmitigated falsehoods neve
fell from tho lips of the worst un
anointed profligate thau these, iron
this polished, reverend hypocrite
We well remember the time when li
?nd the other sleuth-hounds of Zioi
preached, from their desecrated pul
pits, fire and sword against the unof
fending peopl - of the Souther i
States, and took up collections fror
men and women within tho sacre
walls of God's temple, to parchas
rilles for the gang of outlaws win
.under the'lead of John Brown, ii
vaded a peaceful State on a raissio
of wholesale murder and arson. A
to the charges made in the abov
paragraph, it is unnecessary to sa
more than that they are false; br
they doubtless had the eftVct that tl
speaker designed they should hav<
and that was, while bawling "gn
thejoaf," he brought np his lyiii
accusations, to seal np the fountaii
of charity among thc faithful of h
flock. "Grive them thc loaf," bi
they starved your sons and brother
send the clothes to their shiverir
limbs, but remember they took i
stole tho clothes from "our boys
How many dollars .such a loudi'u
appe.il a.s this kept out of the chai
table fund and in the pockets of tl
faithful, we cannot tell. Out np<
such hypocrisy !
But wc cheerfully turu from tl
cant ol' this preacher to the words
a man, who, whatever his faul
otherwise may bo, we believe has
kind heart and a sound judgmer
At this meeting, Horace Greel
made some remarks, and, arno:
other things, said that ten millions
doll;n\s diffused over the South ii
mediately in the form of food, a
seed, and implements, would reta
one hundred millions in the crop
the present year. There is mt
charity-the greatest of the Christi
virtues-more sound sense and tr
philosophy in this brief paragrap
than in all the politico-religious
rades that Beecher may ha
preached and published for the p?
six years.
There is wisdom and charity co
bined in this advice of the philo
plier, for we know, down here a
throughout tho entire South, tl
food, and implements, and seed, p
perly distributed, would unquesth
ably cause tho cultivation of hi
dreds of thousands of fertile ac
that otherwise must be neglect
It would pay tho North, for much
tho prosperity of that section
pends upon the successful cul ti
tion of Southern soil and the abi
dance of Southern products. 'i
proposition of Mr. Greeley is <
that should bc cheerfully respom
to by the commercial metropolis
tho country, for a continuance
Soutl icrn prostration must soonei
later bring on a financial and cc
mcrcial crash. Thc capitalists of
sarao city would also do well to p
der upon this suggestion, and hy
light of calm reason consider whet
even a hundred million dollars in?
vested in loans (well ^secured, of
course,) would not be more profit?
able-putting charity ont of the
question-than any other they could
make. If they make the trial, we are
convinced they would have cause to
thank Mr. Greeley for tho idea ho
has advanced.
.--. -? <- - -
Thc Difference
While our Legislature did nothing
for the people but give them a de?
preciated currency, our sister States
of Georgia and North Carolina have
shown their wisdom, patriotism and
sympathy, for the people. The
former we have already noticed in
its legislative enactments of relief.
In the latter State, one of the most
encouraging signs of good sense is a
bill introduced into the Legislature
authorizing a loan of $10,000,000 of
gold in Europe by the State. It fe
skited that assurance hos been given
by the projectors of this bill that tin
loan eau be effected in Eurone on
favorable terms and eau be easily
accomplished.
RECONSTRUCTION.-It is reported,
from lue direction of Washingfbn,
that Mr. BoutWell, the honorable
member -who recently introduced a
bill to override the decisions of the
Supreme Court, is to concoct a plan
of reconstruction that shall be accept?
able to a large number of the late
"rebels.*' Tho New York Tribune,
speaking of it, says:
Asimple provision that no further
confiscations shall be initiated would
enable thousands of most capable
and enterprising Southrons to bor?
row money wherewith to fence and
till their lands, or to sell half of them
for the means with which to culti?
vate the other. And whynot thus
provide? If we do not propose to
confiscate-and almost every one says
we do not-let us state this beyond
cavil, so ns to allow thousands now
fettered and paralyzed to return to
active usefulness, and thus contribute
to the national thrift and prosperity.
If we do not menu to indict for sim?
ple treason-and every one knows
that such indictment would, under
tho decisions of the Supreme Court,
be but a costly sham-let us say that
also, and dispel the idle, but none the
less painful, apprehensions of de?
voted wives and children. Wc will
not here usc the word amnesty, since
it has been so grossly and dishonestly
?perverted; but we insist that Con
? gress shall at least seem as generous
as she really is.
The Springfield Republican has the
following sensible remarks on Jeffer?
son Davis' condition:
Mr. Greeley is reported to have
used his influence with the Presi?
dent, while at Washington last week,
in connection with Charles O'Conor
and Mr. Sher?, counsel for Mr. Davis,
to procure the release of the nation's
prisoner; and it is said that there is
a prospect that he will soon be re?
leased, on bail or parole. Mr. Gree?
ley will be Maimed by some of his
friends for his persistent efforts to
obtain the release of Davis, tnt they
are creditable both to his head and
heart. The President, with all his
obstinacy in some things, has shown
great want of courage in this. The
detention of au alleged criminal
without trial for more than a year
and a half, is in violation of ino
spirit of the Constitution and the
general sense of justice, and in this
case the hardship is aggravated by
the nature of the crime for which
Davis was arrested, that of compli?
city in the assassiuation of President
Lincoln. Guilty, as he is, of con?
spiracy against the nation's life, that
furnishes no excuse for holding him
under accusation of a more cowardly
and monstrous crime, without trial
and without apparent evidence. If
President Johnson had been both
just and brave, he would have re?
leased him on parolo long ago.
DESTITUTION IN NEW YOKE.-A let?
ter from New York to the Philadel?
phia Ledger says:
The Commissioners of Public Char?
ities are out with a touching appeal
on behalf of the poor. They say
th eir ollice in Chambers street is
crowded from morning till night with
applications for aid which cannot be
responded to for want of means.
There is more downright destitution
among us, just at present, than has
been known for many years, owing
to the deeliue of business and general
scarcity of employment, Manvvonne
men who have come from New Eng^
land in search of work have been
sent back home b}- the commission?
ers.
A difficulty occurred at Fernando,
Florida, on tho 2Gth ultimo, tho citi?
zens resisting the seizure by the she?
riff of some property that bad been
sold for taxes. Tho sheriff was driven
off, and appealed to the Governor for
military force, and the Governor
having no men, asks the interference
of United States troops. Colonel
Sprague, who has charge of the lat?
ter, declined, and tho Governor has
applied to the President. All was
quiet, and the authorities were await?
ing instructions from Washington.
SHERIDAN'S ORDER.-Gen. Sheri?
dan has added nothing to his reputa- |
lion by refusing to allow the citizens
of Galveston to "give a civil escort,
from the steamer to the cars, to the
remains of General Johnston." It is
true that General Johnston was a re?
bel, and that he died in the causo of
thc Confederacy; but thc rebellion
has passed away, and we can see no
impropriety in allowing the people of
the South to honor whom they please I
in a civil capacity. If thc proposal
had been to give military honors to
the romains of General Johnston, tho
case would be di li?rent. If the Con?
federate uniforms, Hags, or any other
appurtenances of the rel) Ilion, were
to have been displayed on the occa?
sion, then the action of Oren. Slu-r;
dau might be justified. But so far
as appears from the corresponds ec,
there was to bc nothing more than a
civil escort a short distaueo through
tho city. Does Gen. Sheridan, or
auybody else, propose to take from
the Southern people the affection
which they feel for men who fought
and died by their side during the late
war? If thc South had conquered
the North, would not we cherish thc
memory of our heroes quite as much
as we now do? General Sheridan's
course is not calculated to hasten thc
era of fraternity and concord between
the North and South, and we fail to
see how it can receive the endorse?
ment of sober, thoughtful and con?
siderate men.-Netc York Sta.
THE Ditv.ss IN THE BLACK. CHOOK.
A New York correspondent oi' the
Petersburg index gives the following
account of tho dress of the "ladies"
in the celebrated play of the Black
Crook, which has had such a famous
run in New York. He says:
"The ballet troupe consists of hot?
ter looking young ladies than the or?
dinary run of such troupes, and it is
astonishing to see to what a degree,
of perfection they have reduced the
practice of economy in dress. If
Mrs. Eve could find herself in Ni
blo's, I think that she would feel per?
fectly at home, and Mr. Adam would
not think of blushing at all on ac
I coiint of his scantily supplied ward
I robe. I don't exactly know how to
de eribe the costume, but it reminds
me very much of the pictures that I
used to sec in Mitchell's geognqdiy,
when I was at school, of 'native
Hottentots.' lt is a mighty conve?
nient costume for dancing. You
can't tread on her skirts to save your
life, and there is no dangerof being
tripped up by crinoline as you go
round in the German. No collars or
culls to be mashed; no sleeves to be
ripped; in short, it is so close to
nothing that you are a long time find?
ing out the difference; and if you
don't like my description, just come
on, buy two tickets, and I will carry
on to see it."
A PROPHETESS IX KENTUCKY.-Our
colored population, says tile Lexing?
ton Observer and Reparler, of the
26th, are very excited by the appear?
ance of a negro prophetess. On Sun?
day night, in church, a negro girl,
named Jennie Beh, we believe, was
struck dead, and remained so for
several days. When life returned,
sile was blind. Her sight has return?
ed, but she is completely paralyzed
from her neck down. She profess.s
to have gone to Heaven and hell, and
become widely acquainted with the
denizens of those domains. She
died in her sins; more fortunate than
Dives, her sins were forgiven and she
sent back to earth to preach, a refor
! mation. She can reveal all secrets
j can give information of the eternal
j whereabouts of every dead person.
She has announced that she will be
j completely restored this morning,
and will preach upon thc streets.
Crowds are Hocking to see her. She
lives, we understand, on Hill street,
j near Broadway.
America ag.dn leads the world.
While the English sarans wero pre?
paring to determine, by the cable,
the difference of longitude between
I England and this country, and the
French were discussing the best
methods, Dr. Gould, of this country,
stepped in, in vented several iugenious
devices to facilitate his operations,
and has solved the problem within
four-hundredths of a second. It was
determined by moans of some fifty
odd chronometers, making repeated
voyages from 1819 to 1855, within
ninetcen-hundredths of a second, and
j now this has been reduced to four,
which in a distance of 1,900 miles
\ would lead to an error of less than
I forty feet.-National Intelligencer.
Tko statement of disbursements on
account of Indians for the fiscal year
18G6 was sent to tho Senate, on the
26th ultimo, by tho Second Auditor.
It consists of 100 items, sixty-eight
of which arc for expenses in fulfilling
fw,.,f~~ mnnv fr?t-IAQ A for,,
of the items aro as follows: Chippe?
was of Mississippi, $100,645; Crooks,
$177,:?2D; Blackfeet, $71,306; Potta

wagon roads in Idaho, Montana and
Nebraska, $0,827; pay of .superin?
tendents, $122,200; pay of interpret?
ers, $03,708. Besides this, $496,G96
was required for provisions and cloth?
ing for destitute Indians of the
Southern superint? ndency.
Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri, lias
instituted a libel snit against the
Missouri Republican, in tho sum of
$100,000, for publications relating to
his own and tue conduct of his "loyal
militia,1' in their recent raid to La?
fayette and Lexington.
The statement that the negroes of
Dr. O. B. Early, of Memphis, havo
returned to him, and claimed his
guardianship and protection, has
created a sensible flutter in the ne?
gro bureau. The negroes declare tba4
the Bureau agents allowed them only
three dollars a mouth out of their
wages foi labor, and that they were,
compelled to steal, starve, or go back
to their lawful masters. Alas! this
is just all of freedom poor Cuffec has
received at the hands of tho med?
dling thieves who hoi 1 thu reins of
power at the present time.

Jj?BEn.M.iTY.-Tie- Savannah Advertiser
states that the celebrated American Eng?

about ri,Ooo a day for fourteen years, if wo
omit Sundays and holidays. If this
wealthy and liberal man wishes lo give
any more where it is need? d, and will do a
vast amonnt of good, let bim send a few
thousands ot his surplus millions to tho
poor starving people of this State, whom
"Sherman's bummers" roi bed of their
last horse or mule, took tin little they had
left to live on, and then destroy) d their
houses, turning them out to depend upon
tho charity of their neighbors. Such do?
natio.is might not get his name so promi?
nently in the papers as if he had given
them to colleges and schools in the North,
but we think they will be bettor placed, to
bis credit on thc big books above.
Hinn RETAIL PRICKS.-A cotemporary
says that everybody remarks upon tho
price of bread and the poor quality. This
ought not to be so. Early last week, flour
arrived in New York in largo quantities
more than 9,000 barrels were received in
one day from New Orleans. Wheat has
experienced a corresponding decline. All
throughout the West the receipts are very
large, and there- is no reason why tho poor
consumer cannot realize the benefits of
the decline in the wholesale markets.
Corn also is dull in the principal marts of
the North and West in New York only
$1 to ?1.12A. Hero we can only get it at
retail-meal and grists nt per bushel.
The price of beef is open to the same
censure. We hoard, * me weeks ago, that
drovers passed this city asking only mode?
rate prices for their cattle, which wcic
refused, when consumers have to pay the
highest -prices at the market stalls fi ir any
choice pieces of meat. Tho prices asked
by the drovers, and thoso at which meat is
sold, show that the venders would speedily
make a fortune. This is all wrong, gen?
