Tho following amusing specimen of the igno-
rance that prevails in Europe on American affairs
is taken from leading French journal. 1t is
hardly necessary to inform the American reader
that the soubriquet Of "Black Republican" has
been taken by the French editor in a literal sense
and that Mr.. Banks and all his supporters are
thought to be men of color
The new President of the Chamber of Rep.
resentatves in the United States, Mr.. Nathaniel
Banks,is negro belonging to the delegation from
Massachusetts. In the double capacity of negro
and ahohtionist, MIR. Banks has created n pro-
found aversion among the Represe ntativcs from
the States of the South. His election was n
check both to the democrats and Know Nothngs.
"Mr. Giddings. another negro from Ohio and
the Dean lie Doyea) of the members present,
administered the oath 10 Mr.. Banks.
"ln face of tie part played by the intelligent
negroes in the legislative assembly how long will
IT be that the great Republic can maintain slave
ry in one half of its Statcs7
1--WE would further remark that the candidate
opposed to Mr. Banks was sustained by the Know
Nothings or Demogogues. who opposed both the
emancipation of the slaves aud the naturalization
OF foreigners. Their candidate only failed by
three votes;but we now learn that this party has
succeeded in eleeting the Clerk, who Is the sec
ond parsonage ofthe chamber of Representatives
Here. then, Is the close of these nominations, so
long disputed, which has ended in having the
legislative body personifed by Negro and II

Virginia Treasury Notes.

Amongst the financial measures of the Legis-
lsture of Virginia. Just adjourned. is bill Ia
thorize the issue Of treasury notes. Nlthoutm IN
tmaiIng any opinion on the subject. The idea nyol-
untarily suggests itself that. in times gone by, n
s,,ict construe ZIONIST would have been inclined
10 ask whether this does not come in conflict with
the clause of the United States Constitution which
declares that mo State shall emit bills of credit"
Mn. Int.
Won't it be too bad il the sttict-eonstructon
Democracy OF Virginia. specially Illuminated As
they are with constitutional learning and wisdom
should be convicted of breach of the Constiiu
ton.
There are other things about the bill which
deserve attention. The Richmond Wing says /;
We have found some difficulty in understanding
tho provisions of this bill. 1t is not stated upon
the face of the act that tho notes are designed for
a currency-we suppose. however, that such Is
tbe rurpose. The amount Of each note appears TO
be left to the Governor-tbough that's not stated
and we are not advised what the amounts will
probably be. They are TO bear six per cent in .
terest as originally proposed, per cent was the
lure held out to those who liked to realize some
thing more than legal interest. In the amended
foru,we cannot appreciate the advantages which
this shape OF Stdie Cttuit WIN INV" oNt' ''uH'h
bonds. The fact of their being used for cur
rency is the only advantage thet we can perceive.
But how far this advantage extends, il is dit
fcult to foresee. For each man to make cul-
culation of the interest accrued, during the time
he hodsa note. will amount to mich trouble
as it will be worth.
The first amount TO be issued is 81 300 600
10 be redeemed one year from tho first time offs
sue-and il not then presented, will not he re
deemed at all, The next issue is for SSoO,OOo,
end at the last for $400. O00--sobject to the same
conditions. We apprehend that this provision
will more than counterbalauce any benefits to be
derived from the notes currency and ope.
rate seriously against their being borrowed Bat
it is novel sort of experiment,and we nwait the
result.
IL we do not mistake. this is tho only provis-
ion made by the Legislature to meet the liabilities
which will fall on the Treasury we
think. to about 81 600 00O-between this time and
October On the lst Of July, about l,2OO,Ooo
will be payable, and ON the lst of September,
100000 more The taxes for the current yenr
will not be available for those obligations, and
no resource is left but these Treasury notes.
We fear the good old State, under the WISE
patriotic and sagacious rule of Democracy, Is
quite near the brink of bankruptcy or Reputation.
With debt of 30 millions, with taxes doubled.
with reputation staring us in the face, we hope
the people will begin to think that there is some
thing of more moment to their well being than the
distribution of Offices among hungry politicians.

\ correspondent 81 the Shelby, hy.ss"s VII
ting from Clay Village, Shelby county, under
date of the 9Th inst. relates the following very
singular affair;
A dead child was found concealed under one
of our mercantile houses, supposed 10 have been
there rome two months: and no knowledge OF IL
had come To light until revealed to man in
dream. r who states that no intimation OF the
fact had ever been made Ia him in any way /;
nor by any one.-but through this marvelous
revelation was this unfortunate discovery made.
The coroner was sent for; jury summoned
together: the dead body placed before them. At
ter being sworn, they proceeded to investigate
the ease:
Mr. Harrison Stratton sworn.-States that on
Sunday night he dreamed that he saw the most
beautiful babe he ever saw in his life. lying dead
under the kitchen floor Of Mr. Sloan; and that
the babe was white. with beautiful suit of thick
black hair on lis heud. How it catne there lac
could not say. He also gave an account OF the
awful looking people who were standing around
to witness the sight; they were of every color
and shape; some had heads as largo as bushels.
He dreamed the night after to the same effect;
but on the third night, while in u sweet sleep'he
saw persons get the child from under the kltch
en- of Mr.. Sloan and put it under the corner OF
the store of Sloan and Neal. The next-"ven.ng
after he came down looked, under. and saw some-
thing in n blanket, and thought he saw It's arm
protiudng from its covering.
He at once went to Mr.. Guthrie told him his
dreams and what he saw, and wished him to 60
with him and look. Mr.. Guthrie, himself and oth-
ers went and looked. They saw Il blanket took
it out aud found child wrapped in it. 1t prov
ed to the best of Judgment, to be white female
child with suit Of black hair but much disiig-
ured From the condition it evidently had been
put to death by violence. Its face and head were
much bruised and mangled
The coroner used every effort to find out who
had committed so vile act; but no trace or cir
cumstance could be cotton hold Of; by which 1t
could be found out only through the mnn who
dreamed He states he saw in his dream who
was the mother but refuses to give any revela
tons on the sucjeot. The verdict of the jury was
THAT it was a female white child. born at ma
turty alive, and murdered by unknown hands.

European Sovereigns aud Filibusterism.

European Sovereigns aud fflibustensm,
The London Morning Post (sem official organ,)
has an article calling upon the European govern
ments, after they have settled ther affairs at tho
Peace Conference,to turn their att enon to meas
ures for crushing the flibustering propensties OF
the people of the United States. Wequote its con.
clusion:
1t will be said that England owing to her con-
nection with the Mosquito Indians and her pos
session OF Jamaica, with other colonies in tho vi
oinity, has a personal aud peculiar interest in
question OF this description, and that her motive
in mooting it, therefore is selfish. But this is
not the case. She apprehends no danger to any
of her own colonies and possessions, and wants
no help from any other Power for their defense
So far as her especial interests are concerned her
own power is more than sufficient for their pro-
lection; and she enjoys, and while that power
lasts, will be seen to enjoy, perfect immunity
from this species of danger.
IL England, indeed were suspected of enter
tanning any desire to establish an exclusive inhu
ence or authority in the territories of Nicaragua
and Costa Rlca or in any other territory of the
kind there might be ground for receiving cold
ly her invitation of other States to joint action
but she, has disavowed this, and her honesty of
purpose has not been, and cannot be, called in
question. 1t has always been her desire, "a il
must be the desire of every man of common hu-
manity, that the States formed out of tho old
Spanish territory of North America should be
left in peace to establish themselves in manner
to improve their wealth and resources, and to
maintain their independence. She proposes his
end only for the basis Of the joint action of the
'Europeqn States tpho hare similar pie,cs, and
acho arow similar principles. But it is against
tins particular condition of South America that
the hhbnstering spirit has been excited; and that
enterprises are set foot by the subjects of the
United States. The views of America on this
point.are decidedly opposed to those of Europe.
1t behooyes, therefore, the States of Europe to
give some strong expression to those views be-
fore the course of action which has been adopted
by the people of the United States shall have
taken such consistency as to make it more diff
cult to offer successful opposition
