Jules Learent, of the Right Centre, then moved that tbe appoint? ment of a special aommtttue on constitu? tional bills be postponed till ono month after the next reoess. After au ani? mated discussion, iu which M. Gambetta took a part, the motion.was adopted. M. Gambeiia protested against any attempt of the Assembly to manufacture ? con? stitution without first deciding for whom and for what kind of a govern? ment it was intended.

Plymouth, Mass , June 30.?Ono of the most destructive forest conflagra? tions ever known in New England is now raging here, in the wooded portion of Plymouth County. It began on Friday, the 20th instant, and has increased daily iu magnitude and fury ever since. A small thunder shower, this afternoon, has had the effect to somewhat check its speed, bat unless there is more rain, the fiery demon threatens a devastation of the country soaroely less in extent and.. deatruotiveneBS than the famous West? ern fires. At the begiuning, there wus no fearfal appreheasions more than of an ordinary Bummer brush fire, bat to? night there is general alarm all through the Cape district, aud citizuus are organ? izing to proteot the hamlets and villages which they inhabit. Washington, July 2 ?The organiza? tion known as "The Patrons of Hns bandry," in Washington, iu 1867, and the National Grange, was organized in December of that year in this city. The objects of the order, as announced iu the seoond oiroular, were to advanco edu? cation, to elevate and dignify the occupa? tion of tho farmer, and to proteot its members against the numerous combina? tions by which their interests are injuri? ously affected, and for protecting, by all available means, the farming* interests from fraud and deoeptiou of every kind. The Booial feature is to mako ooantry homes and country sooiety attractive, refined and enjoyable, aud to balance exhaustive labori by instructive amuse? ments and accomplishments. This or? der proposes to abolish tho commissions of the middle men, and deal direotly With the manufacturers and consumers, and where it may be deemed necessary to reduce the rates and freights on rail? roads by a system of oo-operation. No politioal or religious discussions are per? mitted, and, like most secret orders, this ono has a charitable feature. Womeu are admitted as members. The head? quarters are in Georgetown, District of Columbia, where all the business of the National Grange is transacted. Over 500,000 of tracts or pamphlets, princi? pally of addresses delivered from time to time in fartheranoo of tho order, were sent out last year, together with occa? sional circulars of a confidential charac? ter. There ia a total of 4,355 subordi? nate granges in the United Statea and eight iu Canada, comprising probably 325.000 members. TorEKA, July 3.?Shipments of droves of oattle East from Wichita, Ellaworth and other pointa iu Kansas have com? menced. There are 60,000 head in Wichita and 150,000 head on the way to that point from Texas, according to offi? cial railroad reports; also, a largo num? ber at Ellsworth, and small droves at other points. New York, July 3.?The Excise Com? missioners have adoptod a resolution de? claring that all lager or malt beers are in? toxicating liquor; that their sales on Sunday ia in violation of law, and tho Board will not grant a license to any place whore music is introduced. Sun? day, the 13th, is the date fixed for tho enforcement of tho law. The effect will be to cioso up ait the gardens, and send the people, as in former years, ovor to Jersey or into Weatchester County for lager. At an inquest iu Newark ovor the body of a young man named Nadler, who, with a 'cousin named Edward Balcher, was found suffering from tho efleotH of poison, it waB discovered that both were in lovo with tho same woman, a young widow; and as tho two could not marry her, and ono did not wish to deprive tho other of possession, both agreed to com? mit suicide, and Nadler succeeded.

Neither young Wal worin e cooute nance nor. demeanor uuderwent any change after the^lelivory of the verdict. Toe prevailing impression hore was that he- wonld bo acquitted. The Tribune says: "Never, witbin the memory of this generation, baa any great criminal issue been so promptly and satisfactorily tried in New York." The World says: "The severity of the verdict indioatss that the re-aotjon of the mawkish pity which has for so losg.a time hope sway in tbo jury i boxes has begun." The Times says: "The moral effsot of the verdict was needed, and an acquittal wonld have been an invitation to every youth having a dissolute or tyraunioal father to whip him." After alluding to tho prominent defenders of the prisoner and the scenes generally attending the trial, the Herald says: "The wonder is, that justice her? self was not blind on this occasion; bat sjjiety has to be protected, and however cruel or brutal, tho trial was conducted in tho moBt exemplary manner." Three custom house officers were ar? rested, on the churgo of aiding mor ohauts to dufrand the Government, and leach held in $5,000 bail.

The L iramie Sentinel has thn following: '-Several parties of the Utes have, for some time past, been at and about Raw lins Springs, 140 miles West of bore, on the TJuiou Pacific Railroad. These Iu dtans have reeontly bean accused of com? mitting some depredations, uud on Sa? turday, a party of citizens from Riwlius went tu one of tho Ute camps, when a quarrel ensued, in which the citizoos killed teu or twolvo Indians, aud took sixteen ponies, a lot of blankets, saddles, &0., and returned to Rawlin^. The In? dians aro very much excited, and a gene? ral Ute war is feared, in consequence, which will seriously interfere with tho timber, the miuiug eud other interests throughout this region." The mail from Laredo brings the news that a large party of Kickapoo Indians lire encamped on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, a few miles from there. It is supposed tbey aro waiting for the river to fall to make a raid on that place Preparations were iu progress for a vigorous defence. These Indians have been iu the habit of making incursions iu that section, robbing ranches, killing settlers and escaping into Mexico un? punished. The War Department will sond to West Point from the Ordnance Bureau, as a trophy of the late war, tho first gun fired in the cause of the rebellion. It was fired at (be steamer Vicksbarg, bound for New Orleans, and supposed to have arms aud ammunition ou board be? longing to tho United States. The firing took pluoe several days before any gnus, wore fired at tho Uoitod States troops, either at Charleston or Pensaco la. 1; is a small four-pound cannon, formerly the property of the city of Vicksburg. Death krom a Spider 13ite.?About two weeks ago Mrs. King, wife of Jajnes King, who resides jnst ubove tho new bridge, on the river's edge, reooived a bite on the leg from a common spider. The limb soon begun to swell and be? came iuflatned, causing tnueh pain. Temporary relitf was secured, but in a few days more, the poison again began to show its effects, causing the system great suffering until Sunday afternoon, when she died in great agony. KnoxviOe (Tenn ) Press and Herald. A Hard Case ?A novel case ot divorce has come to our knowledge. A gay youth, living with two women, mother and daughter, and who has been doing more for bis country than tho law allows and his limited means ould allow him to ooutinue, applied for a divorce before a justice in the Heller township, from the lawful wifo?tho mother. It being granted, he had set up with the daugh? ter alone. He found the wholesale busi? ness too expensive. Hanging would be too good for bim.?Naicberry Herald. Tbo Southern papers continue to pub? lish sarcasm on cotton. The LaGrange Reporter says: "This is ono of the finest countries in tho world for grazing. The grass grows luxuriantly, and the wholo surface of the ground is covered with a rich green carpet; and yet not a pound of bolter oan be bad in LaGrauge, just now, for lovo or money. The truth is, we haven't time to make butter or at? tend to cows. We must make ootton to pay back the money we borrowed to make it with." We aro grieved io learn of tho death of Mrs. Eliza Crisp, which occurred at Waco, Texas, ou tho 25th ult. The de? ceased, for many years, occupied a pro? minent position among the "stars" ou tho American stage. Slio was born iu Portsmouth, England, iu 1817, and wns at the time of bor death is the fifty-sixth year of her ago. Mrs. Crisp was the wife of Capt. \V. H. Crisp, so well knowu in this city and Mobile as an accom? plished and active "theatrical." Grasshopper Devastations.?Reports from North-western Iowa state that tho grasshoppers are still working serious damage to tbo crops in that locality. Immense fields of wheat and oats that, five days ago, promised an abundant harvest, are now utterly destroyed, and tho grasshoppers have commenced ou corn. Oioeolo, O'Brieu aud Clay Coun? ties havo suffered severely, tho larger proportion of ull the crops having" been destroyed. Col. J. II. Riou, of Winnsboro, as counsel for parties in York, has applied to his Honor Judge T. J. Mackey for uu injunction to rostrum iiie issue of County bonds to meet tho subscription made by tho County Commissioners of York County to the capital stock of tho Chester and Leuoir Narrow Gange Rail? road Company. Tho rumors set afloat from time to titno of tho enmity between Butler and tho President have all turned out to bo baseless fabrics. Butler's royal donation of 3100,000 increased pay was too mnoh for tho President's heart, and it softened. Tho President appointed Den.'a friend Sauger, and Ben. is to slick to the Presi? dent, while the President is to stid* to Bon. Tho debt of North Carolina now amounts to more than 031,000,000. The question of paying it has been repeated? ly ignored by tho Stato Legislature, aud now a most summary way of it is sug? gested. Mr. W. A.

Fbllow-Citizens: I have been made the subject of ungracious and illiberal observation huro and elsewhere, because of my support of resolutions recommend? ing a closer union of all the members of tho permanent population of the State, to promote faithful administration and wise and provident legislation. The ends proposed are not ouly unobjection? able, bnt patriotic and praise-worthy. The complaint is of the means. Those means consist in a candid and frank ac? knowledgment of constitutional aud legal facts, which nono can douy, ond the con? forming of our conduct to those provi? sions of the existing Constitution of the State of Louitiauo, which arc as follows: "Art. 13. All persons abajl enjoy equal rights and privileges opon any convey? ance of n public character; and all places of business or public resort, or for wbioh a liceuse is required by either State, pa? rish or municipal authority, shall be deemed places of a public character, and shall be opoued to the accommodation aud patrouHgo of all persons, without distinction or discrimination on accoput of oolor. "Art. 135. All children of this State, between the ages of six nud twenty-one, shall be admitted to the publio schools or other places of learning, sustained or established by the State, iu common, without distinction of race, color or pre? vious condition." These articles have boeu enforced by logi.-latiou, which gives to nuy party whose rights tborenuder have boeu de? nied, "aright of action to rocover any damages, exemplary as well as actual, wbiah he may sustuiu, bufote any- court of competent jurisdiction." It cannot, then, be denied that all tho citizens of tho State buvo been placed upon terms of equality iu their civil aud political re- | latious. No preference is given on ac? count of complexion, oapaoity, employ? ment, pursuits or the holding of pro? perty to any individual or class. The superiority that the possession of these may attain, depends upon the voluntary recognition by persons differing in com- I plexion and capacity, and of different employments and degrees of education. The suffrage of every man of lawful age is to be countod at every election as of the same value. My proposition is, if possible, to unite these various condi? tions of men into a common effort to improve tbo condition of tho State; to remove, if it can be done, all questions that are special to any of these condi? tions from the coutest, and to fix tho hearts of all upon higher uud more im? portant aims. The Btrlfe, hostility, dis? trust and ostrangement that have followed from such questions, have placed our State under the oootrol of the depraved, dishonest, over-reachiug and corrupt. Tbo reputation of the State has suffered, its credit blasted, its finances disordered, Us honor stained, und public and private prosperity retarded nnder the influence of the strife aud tho use made of it by the artful and selfish adventurers, who have employed power to accomplish these disastrons results. Iu our distract? ed condition, after the general elections of last November, we appealed in vain to Congress for relief; the Administration has, moreover, throwu its powerful influ? ence on the side of our oorrupt, usurp? ing State Government, and we can evi? dently hope for no assistance from our sister States. We must, therefore, look only to onrselvea for salvation, which can only be secured by making a firm alli? ance with all classes of our population, to rid aa of those vampires who are suck? ing the very life-blood of onr pecjde, whites and blacks. It is manifest that nothiug but the for bearanoo of the colored people prevents them from subjecting common carriers, and all keepers of placeB of public re sort, to such losses and annoyances as would speedily oompel tho practical ao- { knowledgment of their rights or the abandonment of business A multi? plicity of suits, the result of which (?o fur as our State courts are concerned) could not bo doubtful, would soon ex? haust the endurance of the most violent prejudice. Meanwhile, during a series of yearn, thu obstinate denial of these claims of our colored fellow-citizens by the whites has beeu tho means of urriy-. iug whites and black-*, almost solidly, in bitter political hostility against each other. It has driven tho blacks into an unnatural coalition with a horde of un? scrupulous adventurers, who have thus I secured the political power of the cdiu- | monwealth. How have they used it? | To what u sad condition have thoy not reduced the State. It is an oft told tale, which I, a son of Louisiana, holding her honor dourer than "the ruddy drops which visit this sad heart," have no dis? position to repeat. I may be mistaken in supposing thai a (rank and cordial couceisiou of abso? lute and practical civil, as well as politi? cal equality between all citiz?:U?, without discrimination, on account ol race or j color, as proposed iu this movement, would remove the last barrier which opposes tho political co-operation of good men, of whatever color, for the regeneration of tbo State; bnt I am earnest in my conviction thutl am not mistaken. Experience ijecnu', at all ovents, to have demonstrated two propo? sitions quite conclusively, viz: 1. That without such oo operation tho redemp? tion of the Stuto is impracticable. 2 That such co operation cannot bo seen red on any other terras. Besides, I am pro? foundly convinced that no sound ami hiating system of political philosophy can be constructed nuder existing facts in Louisiana, at least which doos not recognize such equality. Every such system must square itself so as to cou sidt iu all its expressions and implica? tions with tho fundamental fact of im? partial suffrage. When we are asked why wo refuse to admit colored people ! to the enjoyment of public privileges on iu footing of equality with other citizens, it is uot sufficient to say that in so doing I we merely exercise a right f<?r which we I are compelled to give a reason. There mast be some reason or motive at the foundation of all human eonduot. And if at the basis of this coarse of conduct participated in by the mass of the white people of the State, there does lie a rea? son so powerful as to defy tho provisions of the constitution and laws and the de oreos of courts, it certainly concerns the oolored man to inquire whether, carried to its logical consequences, it does not threaten other rights, of which be al? ready has tho fall enjoyment. Yet I would ask any one to state why a colored man should not partioipato iu these pub? lic privileges, which would not be a bet? ter reason why he should not servo on a jury, why be should not hold responsible offices, nay, why he should not possess the right of suffrage itself. We are bound to give this great experiment of I republican self -government, on the basis I of impartial suffrage, a fair trial; and as long as we assume a position antagonistic in principle to his rights, and thereby drive tho colored man into opposition to us, if harm results, wo must lay the blame upon ourselves, rather than on tho Byslem. I am persuaded that tho natural rela? tion between the white and oolored pep pie is that of friendship. I am per? suaded that their interests are identical; thut their destinies ia this State, whero the two racos are equally divided, are linked together; aud that there is no prosperity for Louisiana which muit not he the result of their co-operation. X urn equally convinced that the evils anti? cipated by somo from the practical en? forcement of equal rights are mostly imaginary, and that the relations of the ruces in the exercise of these rights will speedily adjust themselves to the satis? faction of all. I take it that nothing but malice or stupidity could find anything either iu tho letter or spirit of the unifi? cation resolutions which contemplates any interference or dictation in the pri? vate social relations of the people. Theso lie entirely outside the domain of legis? lation and politics. It would not be de? nied that, in traveling and at places of public resort, we oftvn share these privi? leges in common with thieves, prosti? tutes, gamblers and others who have worse sins to answer for than the acci? dent of color'; but no ono ever supposed that we thereby assented to the social equality of these people. I, therefore, say, that participation in these public privileges involves no question of social equality. By the enjoyment in common of such privileges, neither whites nor blacks assert, or assent to, social equality, either with each other, or even between individuals of the same race. I have not proposed to myself any advantages from the resolntions referred to. I do not seek or desire cilice or emoluments. I have i:i view but the restoration of Louisiana to the place of honor from which site has falieu. I surrender no principle, nor do I separate from any friends. I unite with those who, npon a candid conaideratiou of the circum? stances they do not control, have to ex? tract from them the greatest amount of good that they allow of. If there be any*who can propose other and better means, I shall not be back? ward in adopting them. But it is very clear to my mind that the strength of a State consists iu the harmonious, cor? dial, contented union of all the good men of the community in honest efforts for the improvement aud progress of the whole. It is equally, clear that strife, discord, disunion and distracted efforts and pursuits will produce nothing but weakuess and disappointment. The base, sel;isb, unscrupulous and merce? nary always profit from confusion, dis? order and the disintegration of society. This is a full, candid and, to my mind, accurate view of the situation, and I shall regulate my conduct accordingly, bo as to freo ourselves from "carpet-bag" rule, aud the improper interference of tho Federal Government in our State affairs.
