MR. LOWE ON EDUCATION. Mr. Lowe having been set down as the future Minister of Education—when that office is created—anything from him on the subject with which he is so well acquainted will be read with interest. A pamphlet has just been i ,sued which is attributed to him, in which the position assumed by the Commission on Education is forcibly combated. He contends that the view of the com missioners is that private schools resting on the " com mercial principle " may be tolerated for some time longer, hilt that their duty is limited to filling up the blank left by the liberality of founders and benefactors in endowed education ; and therefore that, while private schools should be improved as far as possible, it is on endowed schools that we must rely for the education of the middle class. This proposition he combats mainly on the ground that it assumes the ordinary principles of political economy to be quite as applicable to the education of the middle and upper classes ; that the people of this country are not to be trusted with the education of their children ; that it is the duty of the State to determine for them what that instruction should be, and then to bribe them, by pecuniary inducements, to accept the instruction so provided. He argues against endowed schools on the ground that they are confessedly incompetent. He points out that though the endowed have had money and every such like advantage in their favour, yet private schools have competed successfully with them. "In private life the rich elder brother lives on his for tune ; in education the rich school not only enjoys its own wealth, but takes by its competition the bread out of the mouth of the poor one. Had the management of endowed schools been less glaringly and notoriously inefficient and negligent, it seems difficult to conceive Low private schools could have continued to exist beside them. There is hardly any fault that can be found in the instruction given by private schools which is not to be paralleled by a corresponding defect in endowed. We have two competitors ; but while to the private school com petition with endowment has been a crushing and unequal struggle, to the endowed school such rivalry is a most valuable and useful stimulant. Private schools benefit endowments ; endowments injure private schools. Private schools would be sure to be kept alive and active by competition with each other, which has a tendency to spring up wherever it is wanted. Endowed schools may monopolise and abuse the education entrusted to them for centuries, with no chance of encountering a competi tion carried on with equal resources and on equal terms. It is justly said against private schools that they are too sensitive to the opinions and wishes of parents ; but it is said, with at least equal justice to endowed schools, that from a systematic disregard for the wishes of parents, from teaching what they do not want, and not teaching what they do want, they have lost the confi dence of the classes for whom they were designed." To remedy the state of things somewhat in endowed schools Mr. Lowe proposes as follows :—" So long as endowed schools exist, they ought, as the most effectual check on indolence, and test of diligence, to be inspected and examined by the Privy Council, every year in what ever they profess to teach, and the results of such examination and inspection published. The expense of this might fairly be charged on endowments. As long as it is considered right that masters should be paid by endowments, I would suggest that their remuneration should be regulated by the results of examination as well as by the number of pupils, by quality as well as by quantity ; and that endowments might well bear the expense of examining such private schools as were willing to submit to examination. Money paid directly for efficiency in teaching is spent in counteracting, not in increasing, the evils of endowment. From the publicity of the exact state of teaching in each school I look for the most bene cial effects on the minds of the . parents whom it will enlighten, and on the schools which it will stimulate." ? ARCHBISHOP LONGLEY'S LAST CHARGE. We are enabled to give our readers some of the particulars of the last charge of the late Primate. There is a paragraph on the Irish Cnurch, unfinished and imrevised by him, which is placed in an Appendix. The introductory portion of the charge will be found to have some bearing on the subject, which is being mooted at present, of removing the residence from Addington. He shews how much the Primate's work lies in London, and implies unconsciously how necessary it is for him to be near the metropolis. The main subject of the charge is that of Ritualism. He had spent much labour upon it, though he had by no means finished with it. His Grace bad, we believe, at one time some thought of re• ferring to Mr. Keble's book on the subject, speaking of his affection for the man and disagreement with his book. But whether he would have done so must remaiu doubt ful. The many books left on his writing-table after his death, with passages marked for reference, sbew how much more elobratc heintended this portion of the charge to be. The Primate pronounces emphatically against vestments. Of the innovations in the ritual of the Eucharist, the Archbishop says : " I would observe (what you are all doubtless aware of) that the use of these vestments is in the minds of many intimately connected with the idea that an essential element in the Holy Communion is the offering to God a sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ, which abide with the elements in a mysterious manner after the act of consecration. The minister wears the vestments at that time as a sacrificing priest. Accord ing to this view it would seem that the most important part of this holy sacrament is what we offer to God, not what we receive from Him." This .view is not recognised by the Church of England. Our Church seem most studiously to have avoided any expression which could countenance the notion of a per petual sacrifice of Christ, while, on the other hand, it speaks of Christ's death upon the cross as `His own obla tion of Himself once offered as a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.' No room is left for the repetition of that sacrifice, or for the admission of any other sacrifice for sin. Meanwhile it cannot be denied, on the other hand, that the doctrine of the Real Presence is, in one sense, the doctrine of the Church of England. She asserts that the Body and Blood of Christ are verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful in the Lord's Supper.' And she asserts equally that such presence is not material or corporal, but that Christ's Body is given, taken, and eaten in the Supper, only after a heavenly and spiritual manner' (Art. XXVIII.). Christ's presence is effectual for all those intents and purposes for which His Body was broken and His Blood shed. As to a presence elsewhere than in the heart of the believer, the Church of England is silent, and the words of Hooker therefore represent her views—' The Real Pre sence of Christ's most Blessed Body and Blood is not to be sought in the Sacrament, but in the worthy receiver of the Sacrament.' " The Archbishop proceeds to discuss other difficulties. "But there are dangers in an opposite direction. We are threatened with great changes from those who long to banish, as far as possible, all dogmatic teaching, and to open the doors of the , Church of England so wide as to embrace all - who call themselves Christians who desire that everything, save the bare truth of the historical statments of the New Testament, should be banished from our for mularies. Those who firmly believe in the leading doctrines of Christianity, as now held by our Church and by the chief Dissenting bodies could never consent to acknowledge themselves members of such a Church. There could be no principle of coherence in a body so constituted. It would fosteJ divisions rather than obviate them ; and in the vain attempt to found national Church, it would finally issue in being no Church at all, no such Church as its Divine founder could recognise as His own, when He returns in power and glory. It is to be a Church which `the law court and the Legislature can be relied upon to rid of any doctrine which the slow judgement of the nation has pronounced dubious or untenable,' the nation consisting of Churchmen, Nonconformists, Jews, Unitarians, and Infidels, When it is acknowledged by the propounder of this scheme for a national religion and a national Church, that the whole tendency of modern civilisation is from dogmatism towards nationalism, we may well ask ourselves what shreds of truth would remain uncondemned ? They tell us, indeed, that they are willing to leave th e d oc t r i ne of t h e Incarnation as a dogma which they cannot surrender ; but if the voice of the people is thus to supplant the voice of God, who can tell how soon that also may not be demanded as a surrender to their peremptory decision ?" Many other subjects are dealt with, but these are of the greatest present interest. An official investigation into the circumstances at tebding the continued prevalence of small-pox in Sheffield is to be made. THE SUNDAY SACRED CONCERT MOVEMENT. — A soiree was held on Wednesday at the Freemasons' Tavern, the object being to celebrate a recent decision of the Court of Common Pleas, to the effect that the opening of finch places as St. Martin's Hall on Sunday evenings for concerts of sacred music was not contrary to law. The chair was taken by Sir Josl Uti Wahnsley, who was sup- Ported on the platform by Mr. Baxter Langley, Mr. 11 - .. T. Slack, Mr. Clapham (Leeds) and one or two other gentle mem, The chairman strongly denounced the proceedings of the Sabbatarians, which he compared to those of the Protectionists previous to the repeal of the corn laws Mr, Clapliam detailed the struggles which had taken place la Leeds between the Sabbatarian magistrates of that town and the working classes, on the subject of Sunday sacred concerts, resulting in the success of the movement. Mr. Conway addressed himself to the history of the Sabbath, contending that to 01: ke it a d ay of gloom was contrary to its original int( ration, ala that the. restrictions now imposed on the English people were the result of an ignorant and imbecile superstition. THE AMERICAN MINISTER. The Pall Mall Gazette thus refers to the stories about Mr. Johnson losing confidence with his country. men :—" A long letter from the London corre spondent of the New York Tribune appeared in a contemporary yesterday with regard to Mr. Reverdy Johnson's recent speeches. The writer seeks to prove that Mr. Johnson has given great offence in his own country by his cordial tone and friendly expressions towards Eng land. There is truth in this, but the proof now adduced is nearly all from sources bitterly antagonistic to Mr. Johnson. The Tribune hates England, and has no affec tion for the present Minister. The other papers quoted by the correspondent (except the Times and Nation) are all notorious for the violence of their anti-English prejudices. Extracts from the Tribune prove nothing, but it is now past all doubt that Mr. Johnson has not satisfied all classes of his countrymen by consenting to meet Mr. Laird and other similar acts. It was foreseen that much complaint would be the result, and probably Mr. Johnson knew that it would come. He has, however, done his duty according to his view of an American Minister's duty in the present relations between the two countries, and assuredly he is not the sort of man to be frightened by the abuse of the Tribune. He has had to bear with that for a good many years past, and we doubt whether our climate has injuriously affected his nerves. Mr. Rererdy Jehnson evidently decided on his course after due deliberation, and if his Government do not like that course he will not be left to gather its opinion from the dogmatic assertions of newspaper corre spondents."

EDMUNDS BEDFORDSHIRE BRIDPORT BEAUMAIUS BREco BucsiNaaLmsainE BERKSHIRE CUMBERLAND, EAST .. CUMBERLAND, WEST .. Mr. Iteverdy Johnson, having met Lord Stanley at Liverpool and Mr. Disraeli at the Mansion House, on Wednesday met Mr. Bright at Birmingham, the " central metropolis of England." Throughout he cried " Peace and good-will " between England and America. He repeated even more strongly that all cause of uneasiness between the two countries was removed. He did not for a moment seem to doubt that his work would be concurred in by his Government. In commencing his speech he passed a high eulogium on the character and worth of the two gentlemen who bad cheered his country when it was passing through a crisis—Messrs. Bright and Cobden— and approved the policy of free trade which they had inaugurated. His utterances, however, about the capture of merchant ships at sea, are worth quoting. " You had not long since what was called, I believe, a Social Science Conference in this town, and among other subjects in dis pute was the propriety of exempting private property on the ocean from capture. What I said upon the occasion to which I have alluded at Liverpool was that that was undoubtedly a relic of the barbarism of former times. It was held that private property on the ocean should be liable to capture—as I collected from some of the theses read at the Social Science Convention (a sin gular name to give to a Convention)—was but a relic of barbarous times, and that the existence of the doctrine was calculated to avert war because it would render war more terrible was altogether erroneous. War more terrible ! Why, in the name of God, with our present implements of war, how can war be more terrible ? With their use, if war should arise between the nations of Europe, and they could DENBIGH meet on the field of battle with 100,000 or 500,000 men, DENBIGHSHIRE and they should have a dozen of these engagements, such i DEVONPORT nations would be depopulated. It is supposed that in the DARLINGTON late great conflict in our country we lost, on both sides, in DERBY dead and wounded--the wounded being rendered useless for all the purposes of life-1,000,000 men within four years. The loss of property arithmetic can hardly calcu late. But suppose a war between our two nations about the Alabama claims, or the rights of naturalised citizens, DURHAM, NORTH how would the account stand when it came to be DURHAM, SOUTH closed ? Millions of men in their graves ; widows and .moncu FSTYR orphans filling Loth countries ; the debts of each —now DUDLEY enormous—made more enormous ; oppression on the people DERBYSHIRE, SO UT R in the form of taxation m'sde still more oppressive, and DERBYSHIRE, EAST nothing gained ; the naturalised citizens still denied , the DERBYSHIRE, Nolan right of trial de mcdictate lingua ; the San Juan DEVON, SOUTH boundary still not settled, and the Alabama claims still unpaid ; but the account would be closed by saying that our pluck had been exhibited and our national honour vindicated. There could we stand; but what would be left in the hearts of either people ? A bitterness which might survive for generations, and prevent us from being united again, perhaps for ever, or joining in that race of freedom which would be characterised by such a prospe rity, happiness, and power as had never before been dis played in the history of mankind. As well might it be said that we should again resort to the practice of uncivilised nations with respect to the seizure of private property on land, the shooting of prisoners, and, if anything more horrible can be imagined, the rule of Indian warfare, the scalping of captives. These would all be in the sense of making war more horrible, but in another sense—which comes home to every heart—would shock humanity and make us ashamed of the nature which we bear. Nor is there any occasion for it. We have been willing in the United States to abolish the entire doctrine, if you, on the other hand, in Europe would also agree to abolish it ; but what you proposed, but what we could not subscribe to, was that we should give up the right of capturing private pro perty by means of privateers, while you reserved to your. GLOUCESTER, WEST . selves the right to exercise that power by your own vessels HANTS, SOUTH.. of war. That would have been not exactly fair; it would have been so much for your advantage ; but we are so shard-sighted in making a bargain that if we cannot get the best of it we certainly try not to get the worst." Mr. Bright, reviewing the policy of the last few years with regard to America, fourd in it a series of blunders arising from ignorance and jealousy. Especially was he severe upon the course which was taken by England in the Slidell and Mason case. "I confess," he exclaimed, " that I get sometimes very much out of patience upon this American question—less now than I did four or five years ago, because now I find, somehow or other, that people H ANTS, NORTH generally seem to hold the same opinions I do; but four H or five years ago I found myself very often in a minority HARWICH on this matter. Igo on the theory that we are not two 11-I=V o 'o u lL wEsT nations and two people, but that they are our own flesh and HORSHAM blood; that they have got from this country our own freedom, HUNTINGDONSHIRE although they may have put it in their own shape, and in nUDDER4FIELD some respects may have extended it; that they are not Irswicu aliens at all ; and lam not sure thatthey are not now about is or Nvlcan. to be the greater branch of the great race. I recollect once KENT, WEST in your town hall stating some statistics with regard to KENT, MID America which really astonished me. I found that in KENT, EAST fifteen years only, after the year 1846, more than 21 millions KING'S LYNN of persons —men, women, and children—had removed from KipprilmiNsTEß the United Kingdom to the United States ; and I recollect KNARESBOROUGH stating, for the population of Birmingham was less then KENDAL a, than it is now, that it was equal to the population of eight great cities of the magnitude of Birmingham, and that if we took the population of Glasgow and added to it that of Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol, and all the great towns of England, apart from the metropolis, they would not be more than the number of persons who had emigrated to the United States in the fifteen years which followed the year 1846. Then is there anybody to to tell me that these are h e n o o s t til o e nr to p e e a o c p h le o , t a h n er d ? t ! at I w n e t a h r i e s two nations in a n y sense strain Mr. Bright spoke throughout. He concluded by hoping that the two nations would be more firmly ioined together.

The champion's challenge to the world is couched in the following terms :—" I, James Renforth, having won the title of Champion Sculler of England ,by defeating Henry Kelley, of Putney, on the Thames. on the 17th November, do hereby give notice that I am prepared to defend my right thereto against all persons disputing my ability to hold the same, and that I shall only contest that title with any person on the river Tyne, as I am firmly of opinion that an aquatic champion, in addition to the title, is justly entitled, until defeated, to have the championship of races rowed on the river of which he is the representative. And I hereby further give notice that I place at the disposal of the Thames National Regatta Committee the title of champion of the Thames, now held by me, to be rowed for at their annual regatta, reserving to myself the right of entering for such race. Dated this Ist day of December, 1868." There is one statement in this challenge which will not meet with unqualified approval in aquatic circles. Though Renforth is the champion sculler of England, it should not be for gotten that the River Thames is, so to speak, the repre sentative of English waters, and it seems only reasonable that, unless other very cogent reasons existed to induce a contrary practice, all races for the highest aquatic honour should be pulled off over it. The champion's intention, therefore, to defend his honours only on the Tyne will er.ese much discussion. To say the least of it, it seems to be an ill-advised proceeding to commence such an ultimatum as that put forth by the Northerner. Perhaps, and it is to be hoped such will be the case, he may be led to re view it. Renforth should remem ber that he is nownot only the representative of the Tyne, but of English aquatics generally. The resignation of the title of Champion of the Thames into the hands of the committee of the Thames National Regatta is a mere empty proceeding, because it is very doubtful if the committee—as Kelley pointed out at the time—ever had the right to bestow it. Tboegh not precisely connected with the championship, it may be stated that Sadler does not intend to row again, as his constitution will not bear the severe effects of training. It is understood also that Kelley rowed his last race on Tuesday. GATESHEAD GLOUCESTER GRAVESEND GREAT GRIMSB 1 GREENWICH GUILDFORD .. GRANTHAM .. GLOUCESTER., EAST ..

Amongst the Ministerial projects laid before tne Prussian Chamber is one for the " redistribution of seats." A bill to dispose of this branch of reform was brought in last session, but it met with such opposition that it was abandoned. It would have produced great in equality of representation : whilst some distrlcts con taining about 30,000 inhabitants were to return a deputy, others with three times the population were also to have but one representative. The new measu eis not more satisfactory. It is condemned as a very shallow attempt on the part of the Government to secure more representatives for the constituencies where the devotion to the powers that be is.the greatest. In effect it proposes to diminish the number of deputies returned for the large towns, and increase the representation of the country districts. A letter from Hanover, in the Monde, says that the hatred against the Prussian Government increases day by day. In the course of the last fortnight the tribunals have had twenty cases of high treason to try. Singing the Hanoverian hymn is frequently visited with imprison ment. TH2 CRETAN INSURRECTION. It is reported at Constantinople that the Porte has in structed its Minister at Athens to request that the Greek Government prevent the departure of volunteers to Crete. In case the Greek Government refuse, the Porte will recall its ambassador. AN AUSTRALIAN REFORM BILL. The Council, or Upper House of the Victorian Legis lature, has been quietly reformed at the close of the session. No agitation, no demolishing of park railings, smashing of windows, or " stumping" preceded this con- stitutional change. Business was slack in the Council, the members had nothing to do, and yet did not wish to let the session expire without some testimony of their legislative capacity. A Reform Bill was accordingly brought in and proceeded with. Some of She members, however, were adverse to this species of legislative amusement, and the bill was delayed so long that it got down to the Assembly, or Lower House, only on the day preceding the prorogation. The oppo nents of Reform in the Council hoped that this would settle the measure. They were disap- pointed. Abolishing constitutional safeguards is exciting sport when once fairly entered into--as English politicians can bear witness. The Assembly dished the Council. The standing orders were suspended ; the bill was passed without any alteration through all its stages in one night, and received the assent of the Governor the next day. The new law reduces by one-half both the qualification for voting and for becoming a member of the Council. Formerly, occupants or freeholders of property rated at £lOO a year might vote ; now the ,rateable value is reduced to £5O. The property qualification for a seat in the Council was formerly £5,000 value ; now it is £2,500. As members hold office for ten years, a fifth retiring every two years, the effects of this leap in the dark will not be very alarming. It is thought that so far as it goes it will do good. CANADA. It is satisfactory to be assured by the Times correspon dent that Canada was never in a more prosperous con dition than at present. " Money is plentiful; good prices are given for most of what we have to sell ; labour is well paid; railroads are being pushed forward into new dis tricts, and a spirit of hopefulness prevails which tells upon our progress." The province of Ontario has already surplus of a million and a half of dollars. The immigra tion question is to be taken up with greater energy, and each province for the future shall be at liberty to adopt its own policy in this respect, and set forth its own special advantages. THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA. There is much reason to believe that the rising in Cuba was fomented, if not actually commenced, before the news of the revolution in Spain reached the island. It is, therefore, not simply a reaction resulting from the change in the government of the mother country, though no doubt the Spanish revolution is the immediate cause of the outbreak. It is, in reality, an attempt to throw off the yoke of Spain and secure the independence of the colony. A correspondent of the Independence Beige says that the rising commenced in the eastern part of the island—a district which has always shewn an inclination for self-government. The public functionaries sent from Spain are fewer in number there, and the indigenous population is therefore subject to less surveillance. The inhabitants are chiefly Creoles, who have long been settled in the island, and who partake of the blessings of Spanish rule chiefly in the form of taxes. These Creoles, intrepid and hardy, the first dwellers amongst the wilds of Eastern Cuba, are the insurgents. The rumours of blacks rising, plantations burning, and the like, are fabulous ; this writer is doubtful whether the negroes take any part in the conflict. The abolition of slavery is not the immediate object of the rising, though it may be one of its results. SIAM. The succession to the throne of Siam has been settled. The illoniteur announces that immediately after the death of the King, who was so friendly to England, his son was proclaimed. There is thus much reason to hope that our not unimportant commercial relations with that country will be in no respect disturbed. (Front the Anglo -American Times.) A great Fenian delegation was to meet in Phi ladelphia last Tuesday, comprising representatives from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Australia. A military and civic parade was to be held on Thanksgiving Day, and a mass meeting that even ing, for which the national hall had been engaged. There will be a civic procession with a large caval cade, composed of Fenian circles in surrounding States. New uniforms had been issued to the Bth, 9th, and 24th Regiments, two wearing blue, with green trimmings—the jacket of the 9th being faced with yellow, and most of the men will be armed with breech-loaders manufactured by the organization. O'Neill has issued an address to the people of Ireland, who, he fears, may be deceived by the cry now raised of justice to Ireland. His best efforts are given to those opposed to any reform, on the avowed Fenian principle, that, which rejects all redress, as the more the wrongs, the more ground Fenianism will have on which to flourish. O'Neill asserts that God has conferred upon his countrymen the " right" to govern them selves, and, we may add, that this would indeed have been a blessing had lle accompanied it with the " capacity," Governor Brownlow must be an exasperating in dividual to Copperheads and the Ku-Klux. We know at what those gentry estimate him ; and in his Message sent on the 10th instant to the Tennessee Senate we get an inkling at what he estimates himself. One thing that he earnestly recommends is an increase in the Governor's salary. It is true that Tennessee has not been paying its creditors the interest due, but Parson Brownlow considers this immaterial while his own valuable services remain, in his opinion, inadequately remunerated. That this might not be too marked he has advised an in crease in the salaries of the Judiciary, and as a sop to Cerberus he desires a partial restoration of the franchise to those deprived of it by the State laws. Congress met on the 10th instant, when in the Senate the members present were—Messrs. Wade, Corbett, ifirlan, Morgan, and Whyte. The Rev. Dr. Gray, the chaplain, fervently returned thanks in the opining prayer that the country had been carried through the exciting ordeal of the ballot box, asking that its wounds may heal and pros perity be restored to all sections. The President, in accordance with the resolution passed at the last meeting, declared the Senate adjourned until the first Monday in December, and no objection being made it stands so adjourned till the 7th proximo. In the Hous3, Speaker Colfax, of Indiana, Messrs. Kelly and O'Neil, of Pennsyl vania, Mr. Kellogg, of Alabama, Mr. Dewees, of North Carolina, Messrs. Lincoln and Stewart, of New York, and Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, were the only members present. About a hundred persons appeared in the galleries. The Rev. Dr. Boynton thanked God for the good issue, which lie attributed to Divine inspiration, and felt assured that the blessing would be enduring. Alluding to those elected he prayed, " Preserve them from any at tempted violence or injury, and suffer not the com munity to be again brought to mourn as it was by violent hands." Thurlow Weed arrived at New York on the 12th instant, much improved in health. It was said in America that:he had intended to winter in Naples, but that his plans were upset by his wish to have a finger in making up Grant's Cabinet. Governor Crawford, of Kansas, has resigned his office, and boon commissioned colonel of a new regiment of cavalry, raised by the State, for service against the In dians. The Lieutenant Governor will act as Governor during the remainder of the term. George D. Lamont, of Lockport, New York, has been appointed to the bench of the State Supreme Court, in place of Noah Davis, jun., who resigns to accept his election to Congress. New England, it is said, will present lion. Jas. G. Blaine, of Maine, as her candidate for the Speaker of the next House. THE SOUTHERN STATES. Although the elections of Grant and Colfax and the settlement of this exciting question have had an excellent effect down South, the state of things which produced the reign of terror cannotbeat once removed. The Ku-Klux are too well and exten sively organized to be easily suppressed, and society must feel the injury such a conspiracy inflicts on the States wherein it is permitted to take root before it can be eradicated. For instance, at Lexington, Kentucky, a meeting of Republicans was held on the 6th inst. to celebrate the election of Grant and Colfax. Though no disturbance occurred the principal men were on the next day served with notices to leave the State within thirty days on pain of death. One of the 7 ribune's correspon dents telegraphed the proposal as seriously enter tained, to avenge every murder of a Union man by executing nine leading rebels, a proposition very properly termed by, the 7 ribune as infamous. But no Republican, unless reckless of life, would disre gard such a notice as that served on them by the Ku-Klux-Klan ; hence vigorous measures are being taken for ridding the State of the secret bands. Not only do the Democrats of the North, but of the South also, urge peace and reconciliation, and in some of the Southern States they are carrying this into practice. LOIJISIANA.—It might readily be conjectured that the election in New Orleans was influenced by the terrorism previously established, as only a hundred out of the 18,000 negroes voted. Accord ing to the Tribune the following is the comparison between the Presidential vote in 37 out of the 48 parishes of the State, as compared with the re gistration a year ago, and the vote for a conven tion. In Bassier parish, where last year 1,998 blacks and 472 whites were registered, 1,635 votes were given for Seymour, and only 1 for Grant. In Caddo, also, Grant gets but 1 vote and Seymour 2,895, though the registration showed 2,987 blacks and only 777 whites. In New Orleans, where nearly :10,000 voters registered in 1867, about equally divided between the colours, only 24,060 votes were thrown, of which Grant only got 276. In almost every parish the white vote seems to have been largely above the registration, while the coloured vote fell off even more. The rebel majority for Seymour will be more than 40,000, while in a fair and quiet election there would probably have been a Republican ma jority of 10,000. Some 50,000 coloured men, therefore, must either have been frightened from the polls or induced to vote for Seymour. Such an election as this ought not to be allowed to stand, and we shall expect a new one to be ordered for Congressmen after Grant is inaugurated. The Republican State Committee blame Generals Rousseau and Buchanan for the disturbances. A claim of $27,000, for damages in the late riots, has been presented, but Rousseau is actively defended by the New Orleans Republican, which alleges his earnest endeavours to preserve life and prevent riot. With reference to the filibustering expedition fitting out against Cuba the New Orleans Times says that an organisation in this city and country have been corresponding with Cuban insurrectionary leaders for some time ; that the real headquarters of the movement is in this city; that the leader is not General Henning sen, as stated ; that the statement that 3,000 men will leave in fifteen days will probably turn out to be true, and that a number of parties engaged in the movement have already left with passports for Cuba; also that on Tuesday evening two meetings were held by those engaged iu the movement. General Harry T. Hays denies his connec tion with the expedition, of which he had no knowledge except that gained from the public prints. Business is greatly improved since the elec tion, and promises still better, and the best proof is that 150,000 bales of cotton were received, against 40,000 at the same period last year. A New Or leans paper states—This cotton sells readily at about $lOO per bale, which is two and a half times as much as cotton commanded before the war. Thus, if we receive 800,000 hales, the money value will exceed that of the two millions which came to our city in the ante-bellum times. In other words, there will be $80,000,000 which must change hands in the transactions in this single product of our soil. The diffusion of this, or at least a large portion of it, among the various trades must give a stimulus to our commerce, and dissipate that languor and des pondency which have long hung over commercial circles. But besides the cotton, our cane crop, which is exclusively of our own State, must add some twelve millions to the amount of products which will be brought to the market. The cane has turned out well, and is now yielding finely. On some of the plantations the yield has got back to the old boast of our planters of two hogsheads to the acre. All our sugar planters will come out ahead this season. To these two great staples we trust to add largely increased receipts of grain, to bacco, and pork. Despite, therefore, all our disas ters and drawbacks we have no reason to be discou raged in regard to the present season in New Orleans. We anticipate, indeed, great life, an active trade, and a plethora of money in our city. TEXAS.—Major-General Canby left Washington on the 12th inst. for his command in the depart ment of Texas, where he is likely to find work enough to do. General Reynolds, who has been in command there, reports that since the close of the war there have been officially reported to him, as occurring in that State, 761 murders, 6 being of whites by negroes, and 464 being of negroes by whites. Only one person has been hung, against this startling record of murder. The General says that it is impossible to get courts to do justice on behalf of the negroes where the offender is a white person. In the southernmost counties, where the negroes and planters:are most numerous, the feeling is better than in the interior and upper parts of the State. ARKANSAS.—The news by mail from this State prepares us for the action afterwards reported by cable between the militia and the Ku-Klux. Governor Clayton had raised 60,000 militia, and declared martial law in several counties. The Tri bune has the following report from Little Rock,Nov. 9 : The Ku-Klux had a meeting on Thursday, and determined to discontinue their meetings until they could confer with the Grand Council at New Orleans, and get a new name and signs, as their present name, signs, and assassination schemes have been discovered by the State authorities. On Fri day they sent runners to all parts of the State, for the Ku-Klux to cease the work of assassination until further orders from the Ku-Klux headquarters. On Saturday they burned their records. The loyal citizens are still urging Governor Clayton to pro claim martial law in this county, so as to try the leaders by military commission. Governor Clayton seems to think the evidence ample to convict them in any court, civil or military. Two mounted re giments of white troops have gone to Little River, under command of Brigadier-General R. T. Coller son, commanding that district. The Ku-Klux of Drew county, on the night before the election, rode through the county and whipped all the prominent negroes almost to death ; told them that if they did not vote for Seymour they would kill them, and thereby they forced about 700 men to vote for Sey mour and Blair. Large numbers of Georgians and Alabamians are said to be emigrating to Arkansas. FLOMDA.—The Spring/ eld Republican, of Nov. 14, gives the following account of the quarrel now agitating this State :—llarrison Reed, Governor of the State, was impeached last Friday week, on charges of high crimes and misdemeanours pre ferred by H. C. Jenks, president of the Constitu tional Convention, and the Legislature adopted the articles of Impeachment by the help of several members whose seats had been declared vacant by the Governor because they had accepted some other office. Saturday the Legislature adjourned, no quorum being present, and Lieut.-Governor Gleason attempted to take possession of the State Government. Gov. Reed " sticks," however, and is likely to remain Governor, though Gleason has not abated his claims. Both Reed and Gleason are origi nally from Wisconsin, and the real cause of the diffi culty seems to be that the Governor did not distri bute the State patronage in a manner to snit the Lieutenant-Governor and his friends. Only the Secretary of State, Alden, of the Governor's Cabi net, has joined the Gleason faction, and J. C. Gibbs, a coloured man, who was originally nominated for the place, but was cheated out of it, is acting as Governor Reed's Secretary of State. A large lot of arms. bought by Governor Reed for the State were recently seized on the railroad, about fifty miles from the capital, and destroyed, and this ded struction, causing a loss of about $200,000 to the State, each faction lays to the other. The Adjutant General of the State and Secretary Alden had a personal encounter on Monday, in which the former presented a pistol at the head of the latter, but was prevented from doing any damage. The whole quarrel, as it stands, is a very disgraceful one, and if the parties concerned do not make it up, the citizens of the State would be justified in expelling the whole lot of carpet-bag officials, The latest despatch received at New York was dated Tallahassee, November 13. Governor Reed's complaint against Lieutenant-Governor Gleason and s Secretary Allen for conspiracy against the State Government was called at 10 o'clock this morning. After argument by counsel Judge Cooke decided that Governor Reed's affidavit, charging that the Secretary has conspired against the Go vernment, is sufficient. Messrs. Gleason and Alden were accordingly released. There are no indications of further movements of public interest before the meeting of the Supreme Court on. the 19th, when the opinion of the legality of the Legis lature's impeachment of Governor Reed i s to be rendered. The latest news is the discharge of the Lieutenant-Governor and Secretary of State from arrest under the charge of conspiracy against Go vernor Reed, on the ground that the Governor's affidavit against them was insufficient. The legality of the Legislature's impeachment of the Governor was to be tested in the Supreme Court on the 19th. —Anglo-American 7 inzes. Dr. Sandwith, of Kars, has named his infant son, Lincoln, after the martyred President. We regret that this friend of America failed in his contest for Mar y lebonel although he made a good fight for it. The venerable Jacob Barker was the first voter at one of the polls in New Orleans, making his appearanco there at 6.30 in the morning. He voted for Seymour and Blair. This is what the IVall-street Journal truly de scribes as making hay while the sun shines. It is cer tainly the hay they like making in Wall-street.
