Recommencement of the Evictions at

Cramlington.

I After a cessation of a week the evictions of the pitmen
at Cramlington wore resumed on Friday, when the pro-
ceedings proved a decided and gratifying contrast to
those which attended similar operations on Friday week.
It was generally believed among the men on strike them-
selves that the evictions would be begun immediately after
the trial of those taking part in the riot, and this impres-
sion, together with the statement that the evictions would
be recommenced on that day, created some little excitement
in the place at an early hour. Groups of men and boys as-
sembled in variousquarters, discussing the present position
of affairs between them and their late employers, and keep-
ing an eager look out for the .appearance of the special
train with the evictors and military from Newcastle. The
Northumberland county constabulary also mustered in
strong force at their temporary barracks. Each of the men
worn side arms, as on former occasions. The groups of
persons waiting the arrival of the special tEain passed the
time by playing at pitch and toss, while soEe of the police
engaged in friendly strife at a game of quoits. It was sur-
prising to observe the amount of indifference which pre-
vailed among the pitmen as to whether or not they and
their families should be turnedfromtheir dwellings. About
11 o'clock some lads standing on the pit top at the High
Colliery cried out, " Yonder's the soldiers." In an instant
all eyes were turned towards a body of men marching along
the road from West Cramlington towards ono of the pits
now lying idle, and it was evident from the steady step that
it was the military. They hadbeon brought to West Cram
lington by the special train, where they had alighted. As
they drew nearer the men engaged to remove the furniture
from the houses were seen to be walking in front. Very
few persons were accompanying the procession. The sol-
diers (64th Regiment) were in heavy marching order, there
being 60 privates, 3 sergeants, and 2 corporals, under the
command of Capt. Ryan, Lieut. Brooks, and Ensign Ward.
The bailiffs were about 30 in number, and an equal number
of disreputable looking specimens of humanity it would be
difficult to find, comprising as they do " candynien,''
confirmed drunkards (judging from their appearance), some
say one ex-preacher, and men too lazy or incapable to en-
gage in regular occupation of any kind. As they and the
military passed the waggon-way to enter the farm-steading,
they were greeted with ironical cheering. The soldiers piled
arms in the granary, and in a short time the police, about
70 in number, were formed into two lines, and, with the
evictors between the two ranks, they marched from the
farm to Terrace-row, the scene of the serious disturbance
last week. Some of the officials engaged at the collieries
pointed out the houses from which the families were to be
turned out, and four or five bailiffs entering each house,
evictions were resumed in earnest, the men being protected in
their operations by the polica, who were drawn up about 10
yards in front of the row. Not many more than a score of
people were present to witness the proceedings, and the
work proceeded rapidly and quietly. The evictors were ge-
nerally very careful of the furniture, although occasionally
the sharp notes of a woman's voice were heard complaining
of the rough-handling bestowed upon some highly treasured.
articles. The evicting party and police then proceeded to
Shigiikhouse Colliery, about half a mile to the east, and the
evictions were commenced in Shankhouse-lane. Every-
thing was allowed to go on there quietly also. Their steps
were then turned towards the Low Colliery, where a con-
siderable number of people were congregated, but no at-
tempt was made to interrupt the proceedings. There was
a good deal of amusement among the women when the
evictions wore going on at the East Wood-row. Some of
them ridiculed the whole affair, and used abusive language
towards the bailiffs and the police, but they kept their
tempers wonderfully well under the peculiar circumstances.
The evictions were then (about 4 o'clock) discontinued
and the party,after receiving some cheers from the women:
marched up to the barracks. The body of the men wisely
abstained from going near the scenes of the evictions.
The soldiers remained at the farm the whole day. They
would, of course, have been called out had any disturb-
ance taken place. The doors and the windows of the
houses from which the people were evicted were securely
fastened. On Friday 27 families were turned out, 18 hav-
ing been evicted formerly, making a total up to the pre-
sent time of 45. Tho bailiffs and soldiers afterwards
returned to Newcastle by special train ; but they were to
return to Cramlington on Saturday, when the evictions
were to bo proceeded with. It is but right to state that,
in cases where sickness is in the family, they aro not
evicted.

rADVERTISEMENTd—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Wiongs and their Remedies.—When the safe treatment of
disease by then purifying preparations is so simple, and
the good results so fully known, it seems almost unneces-
sary to ask the ailing to give them a trial. The ointment
is infallible in curing skin diseases, healing ulcers, arrest-
ing inflammation; reducing enlargement, and removing
almost all external maladies. In all affections of the ints,
gout, rheumatic, and scrofulous attacks, by which the
health of many is daily drained away, Holloway's ointment
and pills will afford indescribable relief, and will gradually,
if they be used as recommended in the accompanying
direction; bring about a thorough and lasting cure. Those
medicaments aro suitable for both sexes, and for every age
and condition.

AMERICA.

(prom the Times' Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.

The past three months have witnessed a cerin
degree of change in the aspect of political parties
towards the President, especially in relation to his
policy of reconstruction in the South. When Mr.
Lincoln died, there were many who professed to see
in the event an " interposition of Providence ;" for,
as they said, Mr. Lincoln would probably have been
too lenient to the South, while his successor was
exactly the man to use the conquered States with
just and necessary vigour. Although Mr. Johnson
had himself been a slaveholder, he had also been at
constant war with the slaveholding class, had been
bitterly persecuted by them, and owed the death of
one of his children to their hatred and violence. The
lenient and yielding nature of Mr. Lincoln seemed
less adapted to deal successfully with the critical
work of reconstruction than the inflexible, and, as
it was thought, vindictive temperament of Mr.
Johnson. The Democratic party at that time plainly
pointed out the danger of suffering the destinies of
the South to remain in such hands. When the con-
spirators in the assassination plot were executed
there were even vague threats of " impeachment"
to be heard, and any stranger who was so ill in-
formed as to believe in the stability of party opi-
nions in America might have concluded that Mr.
Johnson would soon be opposed by the whole
strength of the Democratic party.
This is now all changed. With admirable courage
the Democratic party refer to their opinions of June
last as " exploded issues," and, throwing away the
useless summer garments, they have attired them-
selves in the new " fall fashions" with as much grace
as the sudden and awkward movement admits of
their showing. Even that section which through-
out were for yielding to the South now offer up
daily sacrifices to the man for whom three months
ago " tyrant" and " despot" were the softest
words they could find. One of the leading men
of the Democratic party, now the candidate for
the office of Attorney-General of this State, has
publicly " nominated" Mr. Johnson for the next
Presidency. This gentleman, like his colleagues,
has forgiven the President even that deed which
they thought disgraced their country—the hanging
of Mrs. Surratt and the other conspirators. Very
naturally, the party which did their best to support
the Government throughout the war cannot recon-
cile themselves to this swift and unlooked-for con-
version of their opponents. Yet it cannot but be
acknowledged that the revolution in the opinions of
the Democratic party may partly be traced to Mr.
Johnson's policy. He is forgiving the South en
masse. He cannot replace the States as States in
their former position, but he can save individuals
from punishment and their property from confisca-
tion ; and this he is doing to an extent which leads
many to fear that he is forgetting to provide proper
safeguards against future troubles in the South, and
also losing sight of certain objects of the war. The
Southern leaders are quick to perceive this new
phase of affairs, and the result is that they are be-
coming less loud and vehement in their professions
of loyalty, and less willing to do " justice to the
negro." It follows that the " Radical" section of
the Republicans are much dissatisfied, and that
their press utters many warnings that the South
will yet succeed in bringing back the old slavery
difficulties upon the country. In fairness, however,
it cannot be said that President Johnson is shifting
his course. From the first he has plainly said, " I
will restore the South first ; after that I will attend
to other things." The success of this plan depends
altogether upon the disposition of the South to act
in good faith. Secession is, of course, all over, as
the Democratic party say, it is an " exploded
issue ;" but there are other issues which are not
yet exploded. The proper protection of the
freedman is one of them. The willingness
of the South to pay its quota of the
national debt is another. Supposing that the South
was determined to carry out the spirit as well
as the letter of Mr. Johnson's policy, it would mat-
ter little how fast " reconstruction" proceeded. But
if he pushes on while they stand still, or try to fall
back, the new Union edifice will not be built on
secure foundations.

I have lost no opportunity of gathering really
trustworthy information of the state of affairs and
of public opinion in the South, and in some re-
spects it is better to be at a point at which all such
information converges than in detached parts of the
South itself. Such of my authorities as are public I
will quote ; others which are private I must ask you
to believe have been sifted with 'care. In the first
place, I am assured that .the people of the South are
more hopeful and buoyant now than at any time
since the close of the war. They feel confident
that they will obtain good terms from the President,
and they have had ample evidence by this time that
the 25,000 dollar exception clause in the amnesty
proclamation means anything but confiscation. The
strongest fact of all, and one that causes great sur-
prise to every English traveller who goes southward
is the well-to-do appearance of the bulk of the
people who were formerly rich. They may not be
wealthy now, but they have means enough to come
here to New York and pay off all their debts con-
tracted before the NN ar. They are at this moment
the best customers which the large wholesale houses
of New York have. Never have the imports into the
country been larger than of late, and a very large
proportion of them go South. When speaking to a
gentleman from Georgia recently on this subject, he
said, " You cannot account for our being so well off,
but the reason is that throughout the war many of
us hoarded. During the last two years of it few of us
believed in its ultimate [success, and consequently
we took care of ourselves. Of course, the loss of
our slaves is so much loss of money, and I know
some men who are nearly ruined. But you would
be surprised if you knew how many of us took pre-
cautions to prevent everything going down in the
wreck." The merchants here are certainly surprised
at the way money is pouring in from the South, no
less than at the careless; indifferent tone in which
Southerners speak of their defeat. They look upon
it precisely as they would look upon a defeat in a
political election. They have had a great fight, and
they have been well whipped, and there is an end of
it. This is the way they talk in the " colossal Po-
land" as some across the water call the South. It
seems quite incredible, according to English ideas,
that the facts should be so; but the habits and train-
ing of the American people would lead them to re-
gard a struggle of this kind in the light I have re-
presented—that is, as if it were a mere defeat at
the polling booths—better than other nations.
The South, however, will not yield more than it
can help. Secession and slavery are gone, but they
are still disposed to hold with a firm grasp the prin-
ciple that every man may do as he likes with his
own nigger. In this spirit Alabama refuses to allow
him to give evidence in a court of justice. Out of the
four States which have now held their conventions,
not one has agreed to do more for the black race
than assent to what they could not prevent—the
abolition of slavery. There are three States which
yet have to complete the preliminaries of
election reconstruc-
tion--Georgia, Florida, and Texas. The
delegates in Georgia is now going on peaceably and
satisfactorily. In South Carolina the civil authority
is rapidly taking the place of the military. In Charles-
ton the mayor and council have resumed their func-
tions, and the state militia is being fastorganised. The
people are resolved to resist negro suffrage, and one of
the candidates for the next Congress, Gen. I\l‘ Gowan,
has warned them in a public address
and patriotic
aittriboethicoves
them to " secure a prudent, faithful,
re-
presentative in Congress." He insists that " the
State, as soon asreconstructed, shall have entire con-
trol of the whole subject of her domestic affairs. The
State, and the State alone, must be left to decide to
whom_ she will give the right of suffrage or other
political rights." Once restored the State will un-
