SPIRIT OF TILE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Saturday Review says that Mr. Disraeli is very fortunate in one respect. If he makes a joke, it is pro nounced, as a matter of course, to be a good one. What ever he likes to hazard is welcomed as a triumph of audacity and art. That what he says should be constantly accepted as a pleasing and outrageous extravagance, a thing quite apart from real life and to be regarded onlyas a part of the performance he is engaged to offer, does not in the least injure him, lower his character, or weaken his position. There is not the slightest use in being severe ; or moral, or indignant about him. There he is, successful in a peculiar way as few men in any nation or any age have been suc cessful ; and as the world has crowned him with glory, there is something of folly in harping on the audacious manner in which he appeals to the passing credulitycf his bearers. He had nothing to say on current politics that would bear saying. Twice lately he has tried startling effects as if he were serious in using them, and both times he has failed. first thought that it would have an excellent sensational qnccess if he asserted that the discs tablishment of the Irish Church would be a worse evil to the country than a foreign conquest. But this would not do at all. It was too absurd, and everybody laughed at him, and not with him, for trying it. The "No Popery" cry has equally disappointed him. It seemed as if simple. honest, unreflecting people might be trusted to be a goof deal agitated and alarmed by a Prime Minister declaring that if the Irish Church were disestablished there would ne more be any Protestantism anywhere. But the English public, if not very wise, could not stand this. It was obvious that a Prime Minister who spoke in this way must think Protestantism a very poor, and even ridiculous thing. If it would fade away directly like a dream in the morning before the rising sun of Romanism unless the Irish bishops .sat in the House of Lords, it must be one of the hollowestk and most trumpery religions that ever deluded civilised men. That Mr. Disraeli spoke merely in joke when he delighted and bewildered his hearers by talking of an assured Con servative majority was assumed by all who listened to him on Monday, and by most of those who criticised him on Tuesday. But it is just possible that he really was in earnest. It is whispered that, in the very highest Conser vative circles, a belief prevails even now that the Govern ment will have, if not an absolute majority, yet a follow ing short by a very small number of an equality of votes. It was bad enough, if he meant the joke, that he should have to make it, and that he should have thought auda cious jesting was the only road to the approval of his hearers. But not to have meant a joke at all, and to have been merely describing what he believed to be the real position of the Conservatives and then to have been greeted as a most successful bumourist telling an after dinner bouncer in his best style, must have been a mortifi cation even to a man who has learnt to bear all mortifica tions with the patience of his race. The Imperial Review remarks that Mr. Disraeli is said by his enemies to have studied of late years, not without considerable success, the Palmerstonian method in the treatment of political affairs ; and it may certainly be admitted that since that sagacious Minister was borne to his grave, just three years ago, there has been nobody found to compete with Mr. Disraeli in that profound knowledge of human nature, and more especially of the nature of English politicians, by which his lordship con trived to keep in order the proudest and most independent l i body in the world—the British Parliament. Nor is Mr. Disraeli merely the copyist of an example so well deserv ing the attention of English statesmen as that of his departed rival. The singular felicity of language which has always distinguished him, the exquisite grace with which he contrives to express in one or two happy sen tences, thoughts which any of his contemporaries would only be able to bring out in the space of three or four lumbering paragraphs—and would even then mar in their collocation; the consummate ease with which he marshals all the considerations which tell in his favour, and the poetic originality of his mind, ever ready to present to his, listeners some new idea or some novel illustration likely t 9 modify their views on any particular controversy—al. these traits of Mr. Disraeli's genius have combined to make him the model of an orator for an occasion which, without ,losing sight of its festive associations, has yet something of a national significance. The Spectator pronounces it the greatest of mistakes to imagine or believe that the main issue before the country in this election is the fate of the Anglican Establishment in Ireland. The removal of that injustice is only the first of a series of measures intended to bind Ireland to the empire, to end for ever the civil war which, under more or less patent disguises, has raged been the two islands for six hundred years, to weld the three kingdoms for the first time into one united, contented, and therefore powerful realm, presenting to the world, to America no less than to Europe, one unbroken front. If the Tories triumph, if the Liberal majority is even decreased, if the majority is not great enough to cow all opposing forces and pulverise all opposing interests, the last hope of reconciliation will have passed away ; for Great Britain, solemnly summoned to do justice to Ireland, will as solemnly have refused. To refuse to sweep away the Irish Church is to dismiss the Irish suit, to declare once for all, in the presence of the whole world, that Irishmen are not equal members of the family, not partners in the concern, not even allies, but dependants, who may he kindly treated, but must wear the livery of their masters, go to church as they are bid, live on all essential points a life regulated by wills other than their own. It is to bid five millions of men, possessed of every natural, moral, and legal right that we possess ; men who have died for us in heaps ; who at this moment, in every quarter of the world, uphold not only our rights, but more than our rights--our claims, sometimesl far in excess of right—whom we trust everywhere with power, and who in the long history of the empire have never yet betrayed the trust ; whom we should send to morrow against any foe on earth, never doubting their fidelity—it is to bid them, we say, see once for all that their solitary hope is in rebellion ; that while they main tain their fidelity their will can never be respected, their consciences never honoured, their idea of social order never allowed free play, that they will not be even welcome guests in the house they have helped to build. This election will determine the drift of British policy for years; and if the Tories win, for years Great Britian will remain unaltered, a land ruled by a tolerant feudalism, in which all are happy except the multitude, all claims are acknowledged save those of manhood, all rights are respected save those of free thought, all aspirations are welcomed save those which tend towards equality. There is a leader in the London Review upon the letters of Mr. Ratbbone Greg. Our contemporary remarks that pure Erastianism is out of date. The Irish Church is de fended by three classes of persons—those who are fanati cally in dread of the Pope; those who believe in Protes tant domination in Ireland ; those who with religious and social zeal treasure the existence of the English Establish ment as essential to the welfare of this country. Mr Greg is utterly an outsider from all these classes of Church defenders, and an outsider who defends orthodox institutions from amidst sceptics does more harm than good to the objects of his unnatural solicitude. An Erastian such as Bolingbroke or Disraeli is tolerated because it is part of his hooour to make tools of sacred things ; but we shall never see another Hobbes ; and Mr. Greg, even if he had the strength of that Ulysses, would bend his bow in vain. Amongst a few whimsical minds there lurks a disposition to maintain religious establish ments without religion ; but the real tendency of the age is towards the maintenance of religion without religious establishments. The Established Church of England is in no danger, because it does not contradict or hamper the religious life of any section of the community, and because every day lessens the social disabilities of Nonconformity ; but its worst enemy could not prejudice this age more dis tinctly and bitterly against it than by identifying its character and fortunes with those of a sister establish ment which is neither missionary nor national—which is condemned to be pruned away wherever it has any chance of doing active good, and which is maintained wholly without reference to any spiritual purpose. The John Bell thinks it was not till after the elderly remade of tradition had exhausted all her energies in a fruitless chase after the recalcitrant ducks that she hit upon the milder method of appealing to their feelings in the well-known formula, " Duekie, duckie, duckie, come and be killed." And so the " leading journal "—we are Conservative enough to adhere to an old-fashioned title, though it has long ceased to be applicable—after writing on Thursday as if disestablishment was a (lire punishment to be drasn down upon the devoted heads of the clergy by their folly and obstinacy in opposing its mandates and rejecting its favourite, devotes a leading article on Friday to convince them that if they did but know their true interests, it would he the best thing in the world for them to be robbed " of all they most prize as ministering to their pride and exaltation." There is something refreshingly Cool in the whole tone of the article. The most feeble minded duck could hardly he taken in by such an invitation to proffer itself for the slaughter. The lino of argument is, that it is better to fly to ills you lau.w not of than endure those you Lave. The testimony of Mr. Spurgeon to the starvation :system of Giant Voluntaryism has niparent!y been forgotten by the Times when it snakes the reckless assertion that it is an evident and conspicuous fact that every poor clergyman 46 would under a voluntary system have done bettor for himself, and would even now be able to do better for him self." It is the less strange that Mr. Spurgeon's unwilLng confession should have been forgotten, when even the oracle's own words of wisdom pass so soon from its memory. The echoes of its remarkable article on the rectory of Donnington must have died away, when we find that the scandal of the low rate of payment of the majority of our clergy is " not redeemed, bust rather aggravated, by the existence of rich preferments and high dignities, distributed by private and political patrons." MI?. GLADSTON.E . 2I2 I BOOTLE. Mr. Gladstone's speech at Bootle referred, in short, to two subjects—the calumnies which have been uttered against him, and the position of the Church of England. On the former subject he shewed at great length that people had been telling a great many lies about him. In one case—in nearly all the cases—the facts might have been got by a little trouble. On the calumny that he was the executor of the will of Mr. Blundell of Ince, who had left £200,000 for Roman Catholic purposes, Mr. Gladstone exclaimed : "There is not a word of truth in it. But what I want ycu to observe is this—the condition of the minds of our adversaries. Now, the love of truth is a great security to us as we walk through a wicked world. A man ought to be able and desirous to sacrifice everything for truth. How much, gentlemen, do you think that any 'one of us ought to sacrifice for the truth? Well, £lOO perhaps? No. I bid you down £5O. £2O? No. £10? No. £5? No. One shilling? No. A shilling! There, now, what do you think of a party who won't sacrifice a shilling for the truth ? Well, gentlemen, you probably are all aware that all executors are constituted by will, and that all bills are deposited in registries, and that by paying the fee of a shilling it will be open to any one of these gentlemen to ascertain whether I was the executor or not; and yet, strange to say, the very men who grudged a shilling for the sake of ascertaining the truth have spent hundreds of pounds in printing and circulating placards all over the country to disturb the minds of her Majesty's lieges, by assuring them that this Mr. Gladstone was no better than, some say a Papist and some say an atheist in disguise, and that he had himself been executor to the will of Mr. Charles Blundell of Ince." Mi. Gladstone reserved his opinion on the subject of female franchise. Passing to the position of the Church of England as regards lay agency, ritualism, Sze., the right hon. gentleman said: "The first question put to me is whether I am favourable to an extension of popular privilege in the Established Church of England, with regard either to the appointment of the clergy, which is a very difficult sub ject, or with regard to the position of the laity as members of the congregation in general. On that subject, gentle men. I have no difficulty in replying. Mr. Grenfell stated at Wigan that he, looking to the state of the Church of England, could not help being impressed with the idea that in some way or other it was required to give some greater development to its energies from within— meaning, of course, not from within the mere body of the clergy, but from within the body of the Church, in which the laity are included, and of which they form the greatest part. That, I own, is an idea to which lam very greatly inclined, and I may, perhaps, point out to you that within the last two sessions of Parliament I have been instru mental in passing a bill introduced by me into the House of Commons, in conjunction with my hon. friends Sir R. Palmer and Sir G. Grey, for the settlement of the question of church rates—the whole prin. ciple of which has been this, that the granting of the rate out of which, as you know, the cost of service is usually defrayed, shall be dependent upon the voluntary votes of the laity, and not upon any obligation of the law. I considered it a great recommendation of that bill that it would bring the laity forward in the concerns of the Church on the one hand, that it would render them more effective supporters of the clergyman and more liberal co-operators with him in works of mercy— a matter which is very greatly wanted ; and that, on the other hand, it would give a much more effective control upon the clergyman—a matter which is also, in my opinion, greatly wanted—with respect to the conduct of services of the Church, and with respect especially to the introduc tion of alterations in those services. Now, gentlemen, I am a Churchman by birth, by education, and by conviction ; and I am not about to purchase, either here or elsewhere, any one of the weak brethren, or of the doubt ful votes, or any other description of support, by conceal ing or qualifying that fact ; but my belief is, that the wel fare of the Church of England, which, upon the whole, is, I think, most happily at this moment in the possession of a very zealous, active, and devoted clergy, depends to a very great degree, with reference to the dangers that surround it in the present, and that menace it in the future, upon the sound and healthful development of the energies of the laity. Stating that general principle, gentlemen, you will perceive that it is susceptible of a wide application." Mr. Gladstone went on to consider the question of legislation on Ritualism. " Now I must beg of you to observe that in the case of a subject of this kind it is one thing to state opinions and another thing to promise action. No conscientious or intelligent person, in my opinion, should promise to support a particular mea sure for a particular purpose until he is satisfied that the time has arrived when he can support that measure with a prospect of attaining or furthering the end in view. must therefore beg leave to reserve, with regarl to every question, and especially with reference to those questions which bear upon religious feeling and conviction and fashion, freedom of action and judgment under the respon sibility which I ask you to commit to me. If we were to quibble its to the meaning of th. word Ritual' and Ritualism,' we should find that it is a word that bears a hundred significations, and, generally speaking, by Ritualism ' each man means something that the indi vidual man, happens to disapprove of. But I lay down these two principles as sound : first, that this is not the place where I am to pronounce any censure or disapproval of anything in the religious profession or practice of any portion of the Christian world. But I cannot hesitate to say that the deliberate imitation of the professions and practices of another religious communion in the Church of England, contrary to the law and spirit of the Church of England, is a grave and serious evil, to which it is quite right that the attention of the public and of the State should be directed, and which it is desirable to put down by persua sion and moral means, if it he possible ; but if it be not possible, then, in the last resort, by the unbending autho rity of the law. Now, with respect to Ritualism, it appears to me that that word does in point of fact, grammatically considered, include every kind of external religious observance other than the mere simple expression of the feelings of the mind. If you take the word in its strictest sense, you can't go into a Dissenting chapel without finding what may be called Ritualism. 'There is a great controversy about Ritualism at this moment, and there has been for many years past, among the Presbyterians of Scotland. There is evidently arising many bodies of Christians, and particularly Protestant Christians other than those of the Church of England, a desire—l know not whether it be legitimate or not ; I will give no opinion upon that— a desire for a greater amount of ritualistic observance than their fathers were contented with. You know the controver sies about organs. In some Dissenting chapels lam told there are surplices ; and a highly respected 'Dissenting minister lately published in his lifetime a fixed form of prayer. All these are matters a wise man will watch and observe, and not be too precipitate in giving his opinion about. What I understand of Ritualism in a bad sense is this. Whatever in the sacred and solemn worship of God comes between the soul of man and his Almighty Father and his Redeemer in heaven, in such a way as not to elevate and raise his feeble faculties `towards the contemplation of the eternal ar.d supreme, but to bar him from it that, in my opinion, is Ritualism. There may be many things that are good in the way of external observance ; but even with regard to some of those things which are good, great care and caution ought to be observed in introducing them to the use of those who have not given their consent to them, and who are nut prepared to use them for a beneficial pur pose. The apostle says : ' Let all things be done to edifi cation ; let all things be done which build up the Christian man.' Let us take that for our rule. There 's an opinion that in many cases the introduction of music .n churches, and other things that probably may be very simple, very innocent, and very beneficial in them selves, may have a very bad effect when introduced either contrary to the will of the congregation or when the con gregation are not in a state to turn them to spiri tual account, and therefore I confess my great anxiety is that congregations in these matters should learn to recognise and admit their responsibility, so that they should be able to defend themselves against that sole and autocratic act of the clergy inan, which very often may be due to the best, the highest, and the holiest motives on his part, but which at the same time ought not to be attempted except with the concurrence of the Christian congregation. And now, gentlemen, having said that, I think I have given an explanation of my general opinions, and I am bound to look to the views of the existing Government, whatever they may be. This certainly is no question of party. It would be a terrible misfortune fit became one—if questions concerning the internal ioctrine and discipline of the Church of England ever became questions of party. Rely on it. the day they become so will be the day you may bid farewell to any hope of a satisfactory settlement. We insist watch for opportunities of time and circumstance, and must have the opinions of the Government and of the heads of the Church. I have endeavoured to describe to you the general circumstances under which my conduct will be guided, and I venture to think it is your belief that I should, as far as I could, endeavour to ensure a faithful application of that principle." The right hon. gentleman concluded by claiming fur the Liberal party that they had done the work which had led to leg;is- The opposite party had first denounced 111 r. Bright, and then accepted his policy. "If the resistance of 1866 has been followed up by the resistance of 1868, why are not the odd numbers to agree with one another like the even, and why is not the tergiversation of 1867 to be followed by a like tergiversation in 1869 ?" THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 168. FOREIGN NOTES. for the championship of the world commenced on the morning of the 28th ultimo, at Lynnfield, Mas sachusetts, sixteen miles from Boston. At 5 a.m. the ring was pitched about the centre of the vil lage green, in front of the church. In the hotel, at room No. 5, Wormald was being prepared for the struggle, and his trainer soon got him ready. O'Baldwin was first on the ground, and was escorted by a large cortege of admirers, who were betting $lOO to $5O on the giant, O'l3 ildwin. lie shied his hat in the ring at 7 a.m., and the crowd gathered all around. O'Baldwin took up his position in the north-east corner, and the carriages formed a large circle around the scene. Wormald, with Noble, Allen, and Rooke, then entered the ring, taking his position in the south-east corner. Wormald won the toss for places, choosing it so as to throw the sun in O'Bladwin's face. Before commencing O'Baldwin offered Wormald to back himself for an even hundred, which was declined. The first blood was drawn by Wormald from O'Baldwin's mouth, but the first fall was to O'BaNwin, who threw Wormald, falling on him. As the referee called time for the second round 62 policemen rushed on the crowd, who all fled—carriages and carts—in a panic, some persons leaving even their coats. Both gladiators were arrested,and held over in heavybonds to answer a charge of breach of the peace. The fight is said to have been sufficiently long to show that Wormald was the best man, as the betting changed from being in O'Baldwin's favour to 2 to 1 against him. We gather from the American papers some par ticulars with reference to the new steam line esta blished between New York and Italian ports. The vessels belonging to the line are the Camilla, Roxana, Miranda, Palmyra, Statira, and Sabrina. The ships are first-class English screw steamers, built expressly for the Mediterranean tr.tde, and it is expected that the passage to a port in Italy will be made in about twenty days. One of the steamers of this line has left Naples for New York. A return trip will be made about the 20th of November. If sufficient freight offers the steamer will sail direct for Italy, otherwise the steamer will touch at Eng land. At present the steamers will leave every two weeks, but after the Ist of January it is in tended to make weekly trips. The Democratic party, in anticipation of defeat, have been harking angrily at each other. The World says it is Frank Blair, while " Brick" Pome roy snarls at the World, predicting failure from the way in which that paper has been conducted. Blair's followers declare that they ought to have struck boldly, placing Frank at the head, not at the tail, of the ticket. Some maintain that Seymour's milk-and water Democracy was the cause, which attracted none, and repelled thousands ; but most consider that Blair's letter, backe.l by Wade Hampton, did the business. The fact is that although enough of the American people went in with the Democracy to get up a respectable fight, they had no intention of electing any other President, than Ulysses Grant. Mr. Ashbury, who owns the Cambria, the yacht which won the prize, beating the Sappho round the Isle of Wight, has challenged the New York Club to select a champion schooner to rua matches, so arranged ,as to test every quality, and finally to race from the isle of Wight to New York for £250. He will then race the selected yacht round Long Is!and for the Queen's Cup of 1851, won by the America, Mr. Ashbury pitting against it a cup valued at one hundred guineas. The Englishman desires to test the qualities of his yacht in every way, believing her to be unequalled; and as the Sappho had not a fair trial it is to be hoped that his challenge will be accepted. His Excellency the British Minister at Washing ton took part in a game at cricket on the 24th ult., between a picked eleven from the Washington Clubs and the entire British Legation, of whom it is said Mr. Thornton was as goo' with his bat as any. The Springfield Republican uses this for a fling against Mr. Reverdy Johnson, sneering at the idea of his being found playing Base Ball in Lon don, or going in to kick football with a mixed crowd of students, clerks, and roughs—though it says " perhaps he might even then be better ea ployel than in making, bunc)mbe speeches, paying court to English Tories, and fraternizing with the builder of the Alabama." A writ has been served from the Supreme Court of the United States on the Justices of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, returnable the first Monday in December, to show cause why the name of Joseph 11. Beadley, stricken from the roll of Attorneys of the District Supreme Court, should not be restored to such roll. At the close of the Surratt trial Judge Fisher ordered the name of Mr. Bradley to be stricken from the roll, and subse quently the Cuurt in general term sustained Judge Fisher. A suit has been instituted for libel by Mr. Bradley against Judge Fisher in the Circuit Court, the damages claimed being 2,000. Postmaster-General Randall has issued an order requiring all mail carriers in the service of the United States to wear a uniform as prescribed by law during the last Session of Congress. The Trea sury Department has directed that a duty of $2 50c per pound, and 25 per ccut. ad valorem shall be assessed on all cigars, cigarettes, and cheroots. A hundred clerks were discharge." from the Second Auditor's office on the Ist inst. Some fighting has taken place w ith the Indians, though General Sheridan reports that he has sent a strong force after those of Kansas, but that they do not venture to make aiy stand against it. Five troops of the 10th Cavalry came into contact with 500 Indians on the 28 th ult., 11 5 north - east of Fort IN i - t allac l e' s i s ( o a f nnsaisn when the R e d men w e r e defeated with a o e killed and many wounded. TERRORISM IN THE SOO7II. (From the Anglo-American Times.) It cannot be denied that the position of the Southern States is such as to cause grave misgivings among Northerners earnestly anxious to unite their country in a genuine Union. The massacres of negroes and the unrestrained and unpunished murders of those stigmatized in the South as " car pet-baggers" and " scalawags," have had a further effect beyon I that of so alarming the Northern mind as to render hopeless the Democratic cause. In several of these States, the Republicans, both negroes and whites, have literally been frightened into the enemy's ranks. Georgia has completely swung round; Alabama is supposed to be going ; and Louisiana, where the negroes muster strongest, will soon be in the Democratic ranks, or in a sta'e of civil war. Indeed, it may be said that civil war has there already commenced. In St. Mary's p Irish, on the IGth of October, the Sheriff was shot in his hotel, and the patrol organized on the event, when passing through the town, found the body of the parish Judge, where he lay dead, in the street. The New York World describes these murders as a " bogus Judge and Sheriff killed in Louisiana," and as a matter of course no arrests are made, though it is known that many men were engaged in the outrages. More than a hundred negroes are said to have been killed in the St. Landry massacre, with much the same impunity as if they had fallen in a skirmish during the late war. Following on this is the second outbreak in New Orleans, of which the news by Cable only, has as yet arrived. The office of a Republican newspaper called the Register, published at Atakapas, in St. Mary's parish, was sacked by the mob on Oct. 18, the press broken up, and the type scattered, while the editor and printers fled for their lives to New Orleans. Patrols go about armed, and the State Government has created a police force, which, at least New Orleans, where there is a civic police, refuses to receive. The rival bands an occupied in arresting each other, and, pending the great excitement of the Presiden tial election, it was evident before the mail left 1 , that there would be bloodshed in the city. The ridiculous atte:npt of the Louisiana Legislature to place negroes on a social equality with the whites by enactment, has added to the bad feeling existing, though Governor WAMIOUTII vetoed the bill. It requires time for the Southerner to get used to the spectacle of negroes voting, and this cannot be has tened by placing his former slaves at the same table with him at meals, and black and white children in the same schools. Any such attempt—wicked even in its absurdity, as things now stand—can lead only t to disaster. At Pine Bluff, in Arkansas, on the I , 17th October, the Republican Deputy Sheriff of I Drew County, was tied to a negro by the Ku-Klux, and both killed at oae shot, which event the WOrld thus reported, " A Carpet-bag deputy slain in Ar kansas." On the afternoon of the preceding day a coloured Senator was standing on the platform of a railroad car in Abbeville district, South Carolina, when three men rode up and shot him dead. In the same district, a native Southern member of the House of Representatives, of Radical principles, was killed in his carriage on his way home by a disguised party ; and on the 11th October the Hon. G. W. SMITH, a Republican delegate to the Texas Convention, was leaving a meeting where he had addressed his constituents, when he was fired upon. He returned the fire while retreating to the quarters of a small detachment of United States troops, but this party was disarmed and SMITH killed, riddled with bullets. We hope that such a state of things will not out-last the Presidential election. Indeed, there can hardly fail to he some change for the better when a period of unusual excitement has passed away. A question of the deepest interest will then remain —Will the only scheme Congress has been able to devise for securing to the negro the freedom conferred upon him suffice for the pur pose—the Ballot? We think it will; provided, and this is the very essence of the subject, the black man acts with the greatest moderation and circum spection. At the present moment the whites are ex asperated by seeing negroes exercise political rights of which many of their late owners are deprived, in deed sitting not only in the State Legislatures, but in Congress. They are impulsive, unrestrained, and reckless ; to shoot on sight, to arm, to band in secret societies with quaint symbols, is in accord ance with their system, and they act up to their instincts as might be expected. The provocation is great, as must be acknowledged ; indeed so great that it is difficult for those who do not understand the South to appreciate it, and they are a race little fitted quietly to endure. In consequence, the position of the negro is such that no one with ordinary sympathies, who recognizes in the black man a family of the human kind can regard it otherwise than with great concern and alarm, and we feel confident that if SA 11130 will do what the Southerner cannot do—restrain himself, — patiently bearing the cruel situation in which he is placed, that he will arouse in the North a feeling of commiseration dangerous to trifle with. It must be of more importance beyond comparison to the Southerners than to the rest of the nation that the two races should work together in har mony, which will be impossible so long as the negroes and the whites who act with them are shot like dogs. If this be continued, it will lead to a war of races ; and already it is having the effect of driving the negroes into the woods, where some of them live like wild beasts, by which the South is not only deprived of useful labour, but upon society become fastened " chicken"-thieves and cattle lifters. It is vain to suppose that the negro race can be got rid of, for four millions can not be disposed of by emigration or by bullet, or.by both combined, nor would it be for the benefit of the Southerners thus to get quit of the field hands if they could. States now in cultivation, where white men cannot work, would revert to a wilderness, and the great staples of cotton, sugar, and rice, would be lost to the Union for ever. In the process of time the whites will become used to what is now so strange— the political and legal equality of the negro, and feeling his weight in St ate affairs his vote will be solicited. So long as the whites are not combined against the blacks, which they will not be if the latter are not thrust prominently against them, it is in the nature of things that they split into parties or factions, and this is the time when SAMBO'S aid will be sought: Look at the effect of the Irish vote on the Union—and knowing what the genuine feeling about the Irish is, we see how the Ballot may force men to court those they dislike, and in reality despise. Although the difference is wide, it is still of the same character, and perceiving in this instance how much the Ballot may do for a nationality, hopes may rea sonably be entertained that if the Africans are pro perly directed, if they labour and economize the fruits of their earnings, if they study and educate their children, they will, after a period of sharp trial, assume a position which will com mand respect and power in the Union. In this they will be earnestly aided by the philan thropy of the Northern spirit, otherwise, such a result might indeed be despaired of. But a result so grand is worth the devotion of the lives of some of the noblest-minded men in the Union, awl we have not the shade of a doubt that hundreds exist in the Northern States who would surrender all to achieve such an object, and that hundreds more are growing up who will be found equally ready to take their place. Our big " daily" brothers are snarling over Ame rican subjects, Texas furnishing one bone of con tention. A statement made by the correspondent of the Daily News is denied by the American Minis ter, who asserts that there are not more acts of vio lence in Texas than occur in other States, or in any other country. On this the Daily News republishes what its correspondent said, not only maintaining its truth, but that the correspondent who had lately visited Texas knew more of the subject than Mr. Johnson. The Standard, without perceiving that the statement came from an American, not from the " Radical paper," asks, satirically, "how should an American know America so well as an English man ?" It is sufficient for a man to be born in New York to be a guide to the Valley of the Yo Semite, a pilot on the Hio Grande, or at home in the wig wams of the Red Indians ! For precisely the same reason an American in New York must listen with respect when Pat opens his mouth to tell of Crete, and gives an opinion about the doings in Moscow, or delivers judgment on the affairs of Spain. The Standard overlooks the fact that America is a big place, and that it does not follow, because a man has lived a quarter of a century in Boston, that he is familiar with the manners and customs of the Texans. What Mr. Johnson said was, that, pre vious to leavingAmerica,he had for yearsbeen aUnited States' Senator, and as such it was his business, which he had not neglected, to acquaint himself with every part of the country. His information regard ing Texas had come from the most reliable source, and it was in contradiction to that of the correspon dent. Then the Daily News asserted that its man had recently been there, and wrote of what he saw, while all acknowledge, who have real his letters, that few are more qualified to observe, as well as record. On which the Standard, by way of a sneer, puts the very strange question, How can an American know America so well as an Englishman ?" adding--" A journal which lately placed Mr. Julian in the United States Senate, and spoke of Senator Wade's seat being ' secure,' in ignorance of the fact that he had been defeated months before, has every claim to be considered an authority." It is evident that the Standard picks up the little mistakes of its contemporaries, and we suppose keeps a black book against them ; but whether Mr. Julian had a seat in the Senate, or was only an Indiana Representative, has nothing whatever to do with Texas. The question is, whether Texas does or does not differ from Massa chusetts or other law-abiding States. The corre spondent of the Daily News has not, we believe, exaggerated, and he can easily prove his statement. On the other hand, Texas is one of the finest coun tries open for emigration, and his Excellency's opinion was elicited in reference to it as such a field. But though men are shot in the presence of United States troops, as was the case with Mr. Smith on the 11th October, for political opinions, though brigandage is said to be rife over the country, yet, peaceful, labouring emigrants may do well iu the State, be hospitably welcomed, and left undisturbed to pursue their avocations. 'That is another ques tion ; but it cannot be denied that men have been shot literally iu hundreds in Texas without a single punishment being inflicted by law, an .l when the controversy reaches New York, the Daily News will be supplied with ample proof of the correctness of its correspondent's assertion. That gentleman merely wrote of notorious facts, as we have often done. The condition of, the Lone Star State has been again and again touched on in this paper, and often furnishes comment for some of the most re liable journals in America. At the same time the splendi l field it offers for emigration formed the subject of a series of articles which formerly ap peared iu these columns from the pen of a gentle man who had lived for many years in that State. The following document bears on this subject : Headquarters Fifth Military District., State of Texas, Austin, Texas, Oct. 12, 1868. GENERAL ORDERS, No. 15.—0 n the night of Sunday, the 4th inst., a body of about 120 armed men, wearing masks and otherwise disguised, broke into the county gaol at Jefferson, one of the most populous cities in Texas, and murdered four prisoners there confined—one white man and three freedmen. Similar outrages have been perpetrated in various parts of the State, under circum stances which show a concert of organization and action among bands of outlaws. Citizens, white and coloured, have been warned by them to leave their homes, crops, and property, within a specified time, on pain of being murdered. Therefore it is hereby ordered that all civil officers in this State, who aro empowered by law to make arrests; also military commissioned officers of every grade, on duty in this military district, arrest, on the spot, any person wearing a mask or otherwise disguise]. Such parties will be held in custody and the circumstances fully reported to this Head-quarters for instructions. By com mand of Brevet Major-General J. G. REYNOLDS. AMERICA. The General Convention of the American Episcopal Church has been in session, and has devoted much of its time tq the subject of Ritualism. A committee was appointed to consider the question first, and this com mittee adopted a compromise report, the majority con. sidering that decency, order, and harmony should - be maintained in the Church, but that it was inexpedient to enact any canon against Ritualism. The matter was then discussed at great length in convention, the delegates, lay and clerical, sustaining the con troversy with great ability. The result was the adoption of a series of compromise resolutions requesting the House of Bishops to " set forth for the consideration and adop tion by the next General Convention of such additional rubrics to the Book of Common Prayer as in their judg ment may be deemed necessary ;" and that " meanwhile, in all matters doubtful, reference should be made to the ordinary, and no changes should be made against the counsel and judgment of the bishop." This virtually gives the Ritualists the victory for the next six or nine years. The Convention has passed resolutions of condolence at the death of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Toronto Globe states that the great majority of the girls taken out to Canada by Miss Eye have turned out remarkably well. Nothing could be more unfair than to assert that tl., introduction of these girls had been an injury to the country. CAPITAL PUNI*IMNT IN SWEDEN. The King of Sweden has done a very strange thing. He has refused to sign a death-warrant against a woman con victed by one of the tribunals of poisoning. His Majesty declared, at the same time, that for the future no capital execution should take place in his kingdom, and that if the death penalty were not abolished by law he desired it to cease in fact. The King of Sweden ought to know the extent of his prerogative, but this action certainly implies the possession of greater power than is laid down by the letter of the Swedish Constitu tion. The sovereign has an absolute veto on all the decrees of the Diet, and possesses legislative power in matters of provincial administration and police. But if these rights enable him to systematically nullify an esta blished law of the land, he must be about the most despotic monarch in Europe. THE END OF THE REVOLT IN CRETE. All is over with the Cretan insurrection, and nothing now remains but to make terms. The Insurgent Com mittee have offered submission if the Porte will grant an autonomy to Crete, with a representative government and a Christian prince in the position of vassal of Turkey. The English Ambassador, it is positively stated, has pre sented this requisition, without expressing any formal opinion on the subject. The Porte, however, is said to demand an unconditional surrender. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. The statement that England had taken the initiative, with the Porte, in proposing to the Powers the forcible restriction of the hostile preparations in Roumania against Turkey has been contradicted in various quarters. But the Memorial Diplomatique says that this much is true : Lord Stanley has suggested that the treaties of 18.56 and 1858, under which the political organisation of Roumania is formed, should be subjected to a revision. This proposition is now the subject of diplomatic inter changes between the guaranteeing States. Several of the French official papers, however, contradict this second statement. TIIE TRIUMPH OF THE TELEGRAPH. The Havas Agency gravely sent the following telegram to the Paris journals a day or two ago " Constantinople, Nov. 7. "The Armenian Patriarch Echmiandjin has arrived at Constantinople from Russia, in order to found an Arme nian school of theology in the Turkish capital, at the expense of the Russian Government." The " Patriarch " Echmiandjin is a town, or rather an immense Armenian monastery ! There is no Patriarch of the name, nor does any reside in the place. Never theless, the Etendard thinks this announcement is of much importance. Though no town made its way from Russia to Constantinople, yet an Armenian legate did, and his object is to intrigue on behalf of Russia, with the view of gaining over to Muscovite power the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Echmiandjin is the Armenian Vatican, and stands on Russian ground. This is simply the beginning of another great Russian intrigue. SPAIN. The correspondent of the Standard—a gentleman who does net display the slightest partiality for republican institutions—thinks that the return of a large number of Republican deputies to the Cortes is inevitable. The democratic feeling in Andalusia is unanimous. In Cata lonia it is not likely that a single monarchical teprnen tative will be elected. Much depends on the mode of voting, -which is still very doubtful. Provincesreturning six members are to vote in one district; thos.2 returning f rom six to ten in two districts ; and those returning over ten in three districts. But it is not certain whether, in a district which is to have six representatives, each voter can vote for six or for one only. In Madrid and many other parts of the country this question is of the greatest importance. If each elector votes for six deputies, the Standard corre spondent believes that the Democrats will have a strong majority in the districts of the capital ; but if the single vote only is permitted, the monarchists may carry two or three of their candidates in each division. (From the Anglo -American Times.) Was the man who wrote the following aware that intelligence of the elections to which he alludes had been telegraphed to Europe over a week at least before what he wrote was published. It may be that the Standard has lots of these scraps on hand for use, and that this was intended to appear a fortnight ago. At any rate, out it came the day before yesterday in the Standard:— "Among the personal changes in Congress which have already been made by the electors, or which are probable, so.ne few are of interest to English readers. Although the Democrats may not elect their Presidential candidates, they have wonderfully inereased their strength in the Federal Legislature. It will scarcely be possible again for the Radicals to gain a two-thirds majority—•a change of great importance, seeing that without this majority the votes of President Johnson could not have been overruled. Several leading Radicals will have been deprived of their seats. Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, the originator of the Im peachment proceedings last spring, has been defeated. Mr. Covode, of Pennsylvania, one of the wildest Radi cals not merely in the House, but in the whole country, has also been rejec ed. Senator Wade was defeated a years ago, but he will not go out of office until the 4th of next March. In New York the seat of Mr. Morrissey is threatened by George Francis Train and Horace Greeley an odd conjunction. Mr. Morrissey, although once a pugilist, has conducted himself while in Congress in a manner which some who profess to be vastly his superiors would do well to imitate. The constituency he represents will not gain much by electing Train instead, nor would the change to Greeley be a sign of remarkable wisdom. In Massachusetts Butler, the disreputable candidate, is likely to defeat Mr, Dana, the reputable one. Mr. Henry J. Raymond, one of the ablest members of the Thirty-. ninth Congress, has again declined to be put in nomina tion. His party have had a rage for beings like Butler, and Logan and men of talent and independence have con sequently been at a partial discount. _ _ In another snipety article of the same issue, wherein Granny brings h'r umbrella down on the heads of the Radical papers, which; assume the " exclusive possession of sound knowledge of American affairs," she asks, "Would it not be as well if the journals which speak so arrogantly on American topics in formed themselves respecting the outlines of the American Administration ;" and we reply 4 , Yes ;" indeed, we may safely say, it would be much better. General Butler has created a great ferment, and a considerable split in the Republican party. The Nation opposed his election as if the life of the party, hinged on his return, grounding its objection on its desire to introduce the element of character, so that he whose record could not bear investiga tion might have little chance, if nominated, of being elected. With this object it has been raking up some of those occurrences in Butler's life which so many men desire to be happily rid of under the saying, " Let bygones be bygones." But the Nation will not, insisting on Butler's qualificatiois to be a representative being judged from these very bygones. Gen. Hawley has come out against him, as also Geenral Kilpatrick,who asserts that in stumping Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Indiana, he had everywhere to contend against the damaging . influences of Butler's deliberate and criminal endorsement of Pendleton's repudiation planks. He considers his defeat to be as nece. - isary as that of any other op ponent of ,the Republican party, and of its great leader, whose bitter personal enemy he is known to Butler defendA himself at Salem against the charges made by General Gordon, who, he stated, he was ready to fight with pistols if desired, and . endeavoured to prove Gordon to be " a rascal of the deepest dye." Howevcr, a letter from Grant to the President, dated 186 G, speaking of Gordon in the highest terms, has been published. Indeed the battle rages with great fury in Massachusetts; but, as we know, the indomitable Butler won in the end. It must not, howerer, be supposed that it was the Democrats that Butler was fighting against, but the Republicans. The great fight between O'Baldwin and WorniatA THE SOUTHERN STATES. Although the shootings alluded to elsewhere con tinue in the South, still the October elections have had a good effect. The Georgia Democratic State Committee have issued an address, denying the desire attributed to them of reducing the negro to slavery, and pledging the party to uphold the right of the African to suffrage. A similar statement has been made in South Carolina, but advocating negro suffrage only in a qualified degree. General Wade Hampton has published a letter in the Charleston Daily News of October 21, in reply to a Wisconsin lawyer, who assures him that widespread misrepresentations of his views have been promulgated. Hampton says : —" The main issues involved in the war were Seces sion and slavery. The first, the primary one ; the latter brought in at a later period. In regard to these I adopt fully and without reservation the principles pronounced by the late National Demo- cratic Convention in New York, and in the words of the platform promulgated there, I consider these questions as settled for ever. I accept this as the result accomplished by the war, and as its logi cal and legitimate consequences. This I have done from the day the war closed, and I have counselled people to look upon it in the same light. I was strongly in favour of the action taken by this State, conferring on the negro equal civil rights with the white man. More than a year ago 1 advocated the policy of giving to him, as soon as we had the power to do so legitimately, suffrage based on qualifications. The Democratic Convention, held here in April last, recognized him as ' an integral part of the body politic,' and declared that it would, when our party came in power, grant him partial suffrage. The State Central Club has reaffirmed this declaration, and I have no doubt that this de claration is sustained by a vast • majority of the white citizens of the State. We regard the Recon struction Acts as unconstitutional, but we lock for their overthrow not to violence, but, in the lan guage of a resolution unanimously adapted by the Democratic party in Convention assembled,' to con stitutional agencies and peaceful remedies alone.' We invoke a decision on the constitutionality of these Acts from the only tribunal clinpetent to pro nounce on them, the Supreme Court of the United States; and we were prepared in good faith to abide by that decision. It in ly not be inappro priate here to correct a misrepresentation widely spread by Radical papers touching these acts. In these I have been charged with having dictated that portion of the Democratic platfoim relating to re construction. This charge 1 have more than once denied, and I do S 3 again. The sense in . which I spoke of the words " unconstitutional, revolu tionary, and void," as being my plank in the plat form, referred to them as constituting the plank to which I, as well as any Southern man, clung for safety." The letter concludes as follows :—" If the people of the North wish to build up a strong and lasting nation, let them be magnanimous and gene rous to the South. Let them confide more fully than they have done to the honour of our people, and they will meet a cordial and heartfelt response. The future destiny of the Republic is in the hands of the North, and upon their action it depends whether there is again to be a Union based on fra ternal feelings, or one held together by the iron bands of military rule." Governor Bullock, of Georgia, has signed a bill which stops the operation of the Georgia State Lottery at once, and prohibits the sale of lottery tickets in the State.—The Lou isiana Legislature has adjourned sine die.—On the 20th October, among the last acts of the House was the reconsideration of the vote sustaining the Go vernor's veto of the bill allowing the city of New Orleans to issue $5,000,000 of bonds, principal and interest payable in gold, and the passage of the bill over the veto. The Senate sustained the veto by a large majority, ho wever, so the bill does not become a law. Both branches adopted resolutions giving mileage and pay for the whole session to a number of Radical contestants of seats of sitting Demo cratic members whose cases have not yet been de cided, and the House ejected another white member, elected by over 300 majority, and gave his place to a negro.—The Louisiana Legislature has offered a reward of $lO,OOO for the discovery of those who assassinated the sheriff and the parisludge of St. Mary. Col. Pope, who held the former appointment, at one time commanded the 23d Illinois Regiment, and his body has been sent North for interment. The canvass for the election of Presid.mtial electors and Congressmen is being carried on with great activi y by both parties in North Carolina, and both profess to be confident of success. General Miles has so distributed the troops in the State that there is little possibility of any disturbance, and Governor Holden has suspended his order for organizing the militia. Here, as in the other Southern States, the Democrats now disclaim all purpose to interfere with or change the State Government exceptby the ballot. Governor Clayton, of Arkansas, has telegraphed to Washington for troops, stating that he feared an armed resistance to authority; but notwithstand ing the murder of Deputy-Sheriff Dallar, of Shrew County,who was seized while serving subpoenas, tied to a negro, and shot dead, the Democratic Central Committee assert the Governor's fears to be ground less. The 4,000 stand of arms with which he in tended to arm his adherents were destroyed, as we last week announced, and it is now said that the outrage was perpetrated by the Radicals for the sake of the political capital to be extracted there from. A gang of the Kentucky Ku-klux lately made an assault on a negro cabin near Hanging Fork, in Lincoln County, but were driven off with the loss of one killed and two seriously wounded. In Kentucky they have lately taken to regulating the "regulators." Three "lynchers" were themselves lynched near Louisville. Major-Gen. Wm. Preston, of Kentucky, one of the " excepted" rebels, has been pardoned by the President on the recommen dation of ex-Attorney-General Speed. Bill Porter was killed near Memphis, Oct. 17, by Carline, who was arrested. Both are notorious characters. Talk ing of Tennessee, the Ku-klux-klan is said to have been originated in Giles County of that State by Gordon, a noted guerilla. Although it spread over the South, its outrages are nowhere so marked as in the southern and middle districts of Tennessee. The State Legislature instructed the military committee to inquire into the subject ; and their report, issued not long since, gave details of the outrages. The committee believe the murders from March to Sep tember averaged one a day, of which most were committed by the Ku-klux, and with comparative impunity, as few have been punished by the law. It would be a mistake to suppose that the only punishment inflicted by the Ku-klux was death, whipping being their favourite pastime, and women very often the victims. Matters have, however, lately much improved. The latest intelligence brought by mail from New Orleans is dated Oct. 23. The Evening limes says—" The long impending conflict seems fairly commenced," and the accounts really appear to justify the assertion. in fact, General Rousseau is becoming alarmed, as he is asked for two additional regiments. On the night of the 22d a body of men in disguise broke into the gaol at Carrollton and killed two negro prisoners, at least one was instantly killed, and the other, being shot through the head, will probably die. At Gretna an incendiary fire was followed by a disturbance. Nine or tea frame houses were destroyed, and the negroes, who, it was said, were stealing goods, were attacked, and a fight took place, three of the blacks being killed and several wounded, when the rest fled to Algiers and the swamps. Oa the morning of the 23d a large body of white men attempted to cross, when General Rousseau stepped the ferry boats and sent a company of infantry to assist the hundred pcliceman who were striving to preaerve the peace in Gretna. That morning the metropo litan police were ordered to leave Gretna by an armed band of 400 white men. A full account of the St. Landry massacre has not yet been given, and it is probable that the details will never be clearly known. The whole country was roused by the intelligence at Ope!ousas, and the assertion that the Radicals wanted to burn the town and kill every Democrat iu it. Everywhere there was arm ing and saddling and mounting in hot haste, and the roads were quickly shrouded in the dust raised by some 1,500 armed horsemen rapidly rendezvous ing and pushing on for Opelousas. If Capt. May still lives only one white Democrat was killed and but three wounded, while Dr. Thomson asserts, and he commanded the white men under arms at St. Landry, that at least a hundre I coloured men were killed and fifty wounded, while some of the citizens of St. Landry estimate the killed and wounded negroes at double that number. A fight occurred at St. Bernard parish, near New Orleans, between the white and negro clubs. Three negroes and one white were killed. The whites of New Orleans armed themselves and proceeded to the scene of the disturbance, but were prevented by General Rousseau, who detailed cavalry to preserve order in the city and its vicinity. He had telegraphed to Washington announcing that Governor Warmouth Lad offered him the control of the civil government, and asking for instructions on the subject. The President, through the War Department, authorised General Rousseau to take whatever action might be necessary. The negroes have been discharged from the New Orleans police, and the troops main tain order. Fifty negroes entered Dardanelles, in Arkansas, on Sunday, Oct. 25, and fired upon the houses of the whites, who armed and drove the ne • groes from the . town. It is reported that James Hinds, a Congressman from Arkansas, has been assassinated at Monroe, in that State. According to Messrs Wright's report the recent frosts will materially lessen the cotton crops. General Rey nolds, commanding in Texas, has ordered Judge M'Farland to continue a civil case involving the question of heirship to certain property. The counsel protested to President Johnson against this unwarrantable assumption of power by General Reynolds, and asks for redress. Mr. Johnson replied that the reconstruction laws pre vented his interference on behalf of the peti tioners. The Randolph murder has caused great excitement in South Carolina.. The Senator arrived at Cokesburg from Abbeville county in com pany with two others, when • he deposited his carpet-bag and walked to the platform of the cars. There he was met by the three men, who each discharged his piece into his body, when they mounted their horses and rode away, leaving him dead on the platform. His body was carried to Columbia, where he was buried on the Sunday afternoon. Governor Scott has offered $5,000 reward for the arrest of each of the assassins, and has assured Randolph'e friends that justice shall be done. The Governor sent Judge Hodge to Washington to demand military aid, and it is believed that the matter has been settled with Secretary Schofield that the Governor shall issue a Proclamation announcing the inability of the civil authorities to preserve order, and assert the supre macy of the laws in specified counties wherein martial law should then be declared, when the United States troops would on his requisition be placed at his disposal. The Democratic State Exe cutive Committee strongly reprobate the recent acts of violence, and invoke all citizens, irrespective of party or colour, to aid in preserving the peace.— Anglo- American Times.
