THE SOUTHERN STATES.

The news from New Orleans received by cable
during the week is that last Saturday, a riot, caused
by political differences, occurred between the whites
and the blacks, when nine persons were killed and
several others wounded. On the following day
another riot occurred at St. Bernard's parish, near
New Orleans, and ten persons were killed ; great
excitement prevailed in the city, and military pa-
trolled the streets. But ou Monday more rioting
took place, when martial law was proclaimed, and
the telegram ends by stating that the Bayou
negroes were terrified. The fact is that a reign of
terror prevails, or will prevail, if not checked by
prompt steps. With that singular facility in blun-
dering, the Philadelphia correspondent, who fur-
nishes this intelligence, thus writes in the same
issue in which two of his telegrams appeared :
"In the South since the elections there has been a
sudden cessation of outrag ‘s.' As the greater part
of the bloody tales of Southern barbatism were
manufactured for Northern consumption before the

October elections the business has ceased, there
being no longer any use for it." We may add en
passant that the Times has a strange 'aptitude for
being right on American topics. It is now shown,
that the negroes were killed at Landry's in the riot
formerly reported in as lawless and inexcusable a
manner as at Camilla ; but no steps have been
taken to.punish their slayers. In an article of the
Nation on negro tactics at the South the following
remarks occur : —" Now, the negroes are certainly
in every State but three in a minority, and for all
practical political purposes in a small minority. It
is safe to say they can never hope to win a victory
at the polls in any Southern State, after the
next year or two, by the negro vote alone.
Not only are they in a minority, too, but
they are in a minority composed of a de-
tested and despised race ; and they are poor, un-
influential, and without political experience. With
the whole body of the whites, or even a large pro.
portion of .the whites, arrayed against them, their
position is probably more unfortunate than that of
any class of persons in any civilised state in the
world—a great deal more unfortunate, we have no
hesitation in saying, than that of the lurkish•
rayahs, over whose condition all Europe is con-
stantly lamenting. We know very well that there
is a school of politicians, of which Wendell Phillips
might with some modification be taken as the type,
which believes that by some tremendous crushing
process all this white hate and prejudice against, the
blacks would be ground out; but these gentlemen
are readier with vituperation than with plans, and
they have never yet given to the world their scheme
in detail. Suffice it to say, that to make the negro
safe and comfortable by force alone would require
an army of 300,000 men, the complete suspension
of his political education, and the substitution of
military for civil government over one-half the
continent for an indefinite period. The expediency
or possibility of this we shall not discuss, although
we would have welcomed such a prolongation of the
existing military rule as would have helped to
break up the Southern habits of violence and the
habit of looking on the negro as a wild animal."
The report of the Bureau-officers detailed to
investigate the Camilla affair has been published
by General Howard. It agrees substantially with
what has already been stated. Gen. Meade and Go-
vernor Bullock are working earnestly to prevent a re-
petition of such an outrage, the former shaving dis-
tributed his troop's where they will be most avail-
able, while the latter has charged the citizens to
preserve order and peace, to see that all are secured
in their rights. The House Committee of the
Louisiana Legislature has reported upon the regis-
tration troubles there, finding that the registration
boards have exceeded their authority, and recom-
mending a change in the law, as well as the nulli-
fication of the doings of the Central Registration
Board. The registration offices are all to be re-
opened, and notwithstanding the obstacles hitherto
the registration bids fair to be very full. John
Quincy Adams has reached South Carolina, and is
making good his promise, talking Massachusetts
Democratic principles which have a strange twang
of Radicalism in the ears of his Southern hearers.
They perhaps attribute his doctrine to his Puritan
birth and breeding, and will be confirmed in the
impression that nothing good can come out of New
England. The " young man by the name of
Adams," as the Tribune calls him, in a speech on
the 16th instant, said that Wade Hampton was no
more a rebel than himself. His speech at Columbia
was, we understand, a fine effort of oratory, and is
said to be remarkable for telling plain truths in a
manner singularly like his grandfather; he summed
up the points demanded by the North as follows :
" The North is determined, as I believe, to retain
and establish, as the legitimate results of the war,
these general positions, with all the logical conse-
quences necessary for their convenient enjoyment ;
first, the utter renunciation of the doctrine of seces-
sion ; second, the entire extirpation of slavery and
all its family; third, a fair and unhampered career

for the freedmen ; fourth, the equal right of every
citizen of the United States to travel, speak, and live
in any State so long as he did not infringe the rights
of others." Fears were entertained by Governor Hol-
den and Gen. Mills that arms were being imported
into North Carolina for the use of the Democrats.
Those depo\sited at Memphis have met with a fate
that might have been anticipated. They were
shipped in the steamer Ilesper, and consigned to
Governor Clayton for the use of the State militia.
She left Memphis for Little Rock on the evening
of the 15th October. About 25 miles she stopped on
the Mississippi side to wood, and the steamtug
Nellie James ranged alongside with a barge in tow
carrying 40 armed Ku-Klux-Klan men in masks.
By one account they fired indiscriminately into the
cabin and engine room, but the captain and two
others escaped into the woods. The other account
asserts that they quietly took possession, placing
guards over the pilot and engineer, but it is certain
they cut loose from the bank and threw the arms
into the centre of the river, when they left the
vessel in charge of the engineer and ran away into
the forest. The Convention of coloured men, as-
sembled by the expelled members of the Georgia
Legislature, met in Macon on the Gth, and adopted
an address sating forth the condition of the race
in Georgia, concluding with resolutions in favour
of the Republicans. According to Messrs. Wright's
report some injury was done to the cotton crops ill
Alabama and Georgia by a storm which occurred
on the 3d inst. The weather since has been highly
favourable. The South Carolina rice crop this sea-
son is said to be of much better quality than that of
last year.

Professor Goldwin Smith was among the passen-
gers last Tuesday on board the North German Lloyd
screw steamship Weser, Captain G. Wenke, which sailed
from Southampton that afternoon for New York.

Governor Bullock, of Massachusetts, has ap-
pointed Nov. 26 as a day of thanksgiving.

Tho Spirit of the Times says:--" Mr. J. Gould,
the re-elected President of the Erie Railroad, was sere-
naded on Tuesday evening, Oct. 13, by a number of per-
sonal friends, including Mr. James M'Henry, Managing
Director Fisk, Mr. Groves, John Brougham, Counsellor
Lane, John M'Culloch, and about a dozen others. The
music was furnished by Dodworth's band and a quartette
from Bryant's Minstrels, with string accompaniment. The
festivities were kept up until a late hour, and speeches
were made by nearly everybody present, including, Of
course, Stago Director Brougham, who, in likening Marl"
aging Director Fisk to an elephant's trunk, which can d
either 'tear down a tree or pick up a pin,' brought flown
the house. The evening was brought to a close by An
adjournment to Miss Kellogg's residence, where, in re-
sponse to the inspiriting strains of the music, the fair suc-
cessor of Adelina Patti appeared at the window, and
gracefully returned thanks. Altogether the, affair Irss
one of the most magnificent and elaborate compliments
ever paid to a railroad king or a prima donna."
Joseph Warren Revere died at his summer rest'
deuce in Canton, Massachusetts, on Sunday, October 11,
at the age of 92. He was the only surviving son of Paul
Revere of revolutionary fame, and was the father of Col.
Paul Revere and Dr. E. H. R. Revere, both of whom died
for their country in the late war. He had filled mail
State offices, and was a distinguished citizen at Boston.
GEN. ROBERT ANDERSON.—A public token of
gratitud3 for the patriotic services of General Robert
Anderson at Fort Sumter has been suggested. It is stated
that the General has an invalid wife, who lost all her own
means during the war, and two young children, whose
education must be provided for; and his salary is his only
resource. His health is broken by long service in the
army, and by the hardships he endured while holding'
Fort Sumter with a handful of men against the combined
forces of the rebels in 1861.—Public Ledger.

At Ottawa, Henry Murphy, a Fenian prisoner,
made a desperate effort to escape, nearly killing the turn'
key in the attempt, which did not succeed. The convict
Whalen, under sentence of death for the murder of RIGA
now receives spiritual attendance from the parish priest.
The steamer San Salvador arrived at Savannah,
October 14, with the remains of Howell Cobb. The
body was met by the mayor and aldermen, members of
the bar, and citizens, and escorted to the Central Rail'
road depot, from where a special train carried the re-
mains to Athens, Georgia. The flags were displayed at
half-mast.
