STATE oF SOUTHERN OPINION,--A
meeting of old residents of West Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Mississippi was
held at Memphis on the 1st There was
a thousand or more present, two thirds
of them from places outside of our army
lines, and many Of them old secession
leaders. Resolutions in favor of the
restoration of the Union We're passed.
Judge Swayne presided and made q
speech, saying that he wanted to forget
accept the result as the work of Divine
Providence, and he interpreted it to
mean that this country must remain one
and that property in the negro must
cease. Col. Grace of Arkansas made a
speech, in which he said:
al am the man who drew up the ordi-
nance of secession in the legislature of
Arkansas; have been in the field fght-
ing against the Union for nearly four
years, and now l am a conquered and
whipped man. (Laughter.) As l was
gallant in going out to fight, | now pro-
pose to be gallant at surrendering and
submitting to the arms of the govern
ment. Let US have respect for the gov
eminent that we cannot whip. laugh
ter l have no contempt for Federal
authority now, If I ever had. I do not
think there is Il manly bosom in the
South but that has a higher respect for
Mort hern gallantry than when he went
into the fight. The authorities tell us
to come back and reconstruct the Union
and they will give US honorable terms.
Do you think that people as brave as
the North, that they are going to risk
their reputation in war to turn around
after we have dispersed our armies, and
give US anything but honorable terms 2
There may be some men in the North
VINO may think that the South had q
nand In the death of our lamented chief
magistrate, but I know that the people
of the South mourn over his death, and
feel that they had lost a friend. When

GOLD COMING Down, BUT Provisions
KEEPING UP.-Gold is coming down with
a rush. 1t has reached. the Point OF
1870 IA, and will very soon be down to
1875. This was the highest price which
the requirements of the government or
the circumstances Of the times ever re-
ally demanded that it should have at
tanned. That it had gone up to the
point it reached during the war was but
the result of speculation and undue eX-
element Now that the war is over
those influences no longer remain, and
it must tumble down to a proper stand
ard
But while gold falls everything else
should fall with it. This, however, is
not the case. Provisions are as high
now as ever Meat, for example, is re-
tailed at as high price now as when
gold was 2S5 Beef which rated at be
tween eighteen and twenty cents pound
before the war, advanced to forty and
fifty cents when gold was at his maxi
mum value, and the dealers retain the
same prices to day. tits the same with
almost every other article. This is
nothing but a swindle, and some means
should be taken to preventit. The pub
lie are grossly imposed upon by butch
ers, groCers, provision dealers and 9th
ers. The people have contributed their
blood and their money to purchase
peace, and now that they have obtained
it, they are entitled to one at least OF the
! blessings it shOnld bring-low prices OF
the accessories Of life-NeW Itrk Her.

THE SEVEN THlRTY LoAN.-Our con
temporaries are full Of rhapsodies over
the financial achievement of last Tues
day. Over fifteen millions were taken
in one day; over eight millions were
taken in New York and over five mil
lions by a single banking firm. 1t seems
to be an absorbing topic of enquiry to
know what the London Times is going
to do about it. We guess the best thing
the Times can do will be to initiate

CoNcERNlNo the meeting Of citizens in

submission to the federal government, the
Occasional" Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Press writes:
II regard this Savannah demonstration
- moral victory Of Ear more consequence
than two great battles now. We had no such
demonstration when New Orleans fell into
our hands. At that time, the leading class.
% were not only defiant and insolcnt, but
the laooring people were moody and threat
ening. At Savannah it is the prominent
men-the controllers Of public opinion, the
former leaders Of the Democratic party
who have commenced the good work."
It was Butler, and not Sherman. who
managed things ct New Orleans. Suppose
i had been Butler who managed things at
Savannah, does any body suppose such :
demonstration would have occurred as that
which has been beheld, We suspect not.

hundred conversions have taken place with.
