Late Central American papers con
tain accounts OF the progress Of the ia
maica insurrection up TO the 18th uIt
The fury OF the blacks seems to have
reached its eliminating point on the
1lth, when mob Of some four Or five
hundred of them assembled at M0rant
Bay, and supplied themselves by force
with arms and ammunition from the
police station Of the town. They at
tackled the courthouse, whittier the
local authorities had Detaken them
selves for safety, and had gathered q
feWO Of the citizens. AnaSsault ensUed
W hich was unsuccessful until the as
sailants fired the building and the in
mates were forced out by the flames.
They were all seized by the rioters and
slaughtered and their cOrpses outraged
in every way that the devilish ingenu-
ity OF the mob could devise. Some
were disemb0weled; others beheaded; :;
arms and legs were torn off; tongue,;
and eyes plucked out. In some instan-
ces these things We're done before death,
Fourteen whites are known to have
been killed-among them some Of the
most influential and esteemed residents
of the town, and twenty-five, inclu-
ding one woman, severely wounded.
The local military force was called out.
and a number Of the leaders Of themob
had been caught and tried by court
martial. Over one hundred blacks are
said to have been executed. No fears
were entertained Of a fresh outbreak.
The following places had been burn
ed by the mob:
The town Of Manchioneal, MuIatto
River, EImwo0d, Rose Cottage, Fair
Prospect, Boston, Castle Fairy Hill,
and Deans Valley.

Southern States, ,cttboat regard 10 political con
sequences
A portentous hour, truly, for the fu-
tureof the Republican party, was that
spent by Col. Mcclure in conver sation
with the President. Deeplyas we COM
miserate our political adversaries upon
the gloomy prospect that's before them,
if our appeal to the President in their
behalf, should prove in vain, we will
cheerfully accept the issue. What else
can we do? Surely the 'Ioyal men of
the country" would not ask us to op-

Therefore, if so be that Andrew John
son will stubbornly refuse t0yield toour
entreaties, as above expressed, and will
persist in demanding of Congress ad-
mission for the Southern Representatives
we will very likely support him, even
if his policy should be the death of the

The Test Gath for Members of Congress.

Frequent allusiOn is made, in con-
nection with the question Of recon-
structiOn, 10 the test oath of office en-
acted by the Congress OF 1862 to be adj
ministered in the cases specified. As
it will no doubt be prominent in the
debates to which the assembling of
Congress is expected to give rise, we
copy it hereunder. 1t is as follows:
CHAPTER CXXNIII.-An act to pre-
scribe an Oath of Office, and for 9TH
er purposes.

United States, shall, before entering
upon the duties Of such office, and be-
fore being entitled to any Of the salary
or other emoIuments thereof, take and

The Admission Of Southern Cong

TEge Admission Of Southern Congress
snem---%0 Summary Action Against
Observation-Disclosures OF the Internal
Revenue B.aEg---E'reparty Restored ia
Maryland assd Virginia.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 81 hear in
several Republican quarters thatin ref
erence to the admission Of Southern
Congressmen, there are plenty osfnem-
bers elect Of the dominant parqr who
intend that there shall be no SUMMARY
action against them. There must be
examination and consideration of the
subject. If need be, there will be, it
is said. an organization of Republican
members in aid of the Presidents poll
cy, which may bringmen into the field
for the offices of the Senate, and candi-
dates are already mentioned.
Reports as to what Secretary MCCul-
lOch NAV recommend concerning the
internal revenue law are premature.
The report Of the Commissioners ap-
pointed in conformity with resolution
of Congress 10 examine into the tax
subject, will be awaited with anxious
interest. In high Congressional quar-
ters, learned on Onthesubject, Ihaveheard
decided objection made to that feature
OF the law WHICH ldAec ptfHOu WHO
uses in business a hundred thousand
dollars so as that it yields ten thousand
profit, double what would be the tax
upon a like sum that would yield five
| thousand when invested in securities.
In the same quarter objection is urged
against that feature of the law which
increases therate percent. It's thought
that uniform rate per cent, should be
fixed and paid upon incomes, whether
| large or small.
The Freedmen's Bureau, by order Of
the President, has returned large
number of estates to their original
| owners, among them the property Of
| T. w. Cough, Of St. Mary's county,
| Md. and Mrs. Elizabeth Southron.
The most of the places restored are To-
Gated in LOudOun and Fairfax counties,
Va. In Alexandria, Mrs. S. G. Smith,
| the Misses Irwin, Miss Dangerfeld,
Miss Y. NJ. Somers and Mr.. John Al
bridge have been reinstated in posses
sion of their property.-BaF. SIN.

\ CONGRATUIATORY MEETING of
the mixed spirits which compose the
present opposition to the Democracy, is
called for next Tuesday evening, at the
Court House. What these fellows have
to congratulate themselves upon, we
don't know. They said Negro Suffrage
wasn't an issue in the late canvass
Theyrefused TO endorse President john

over the frauds lately committed by

what is more likely, they intend to jol-

THERE is a delightful scrub-race, just
now, between the various aspirants for
the Abolition nomination for Cover
nor. In this county the contest is be-
tween Cessna and Jordan, but if Jordan
stays on the track he will be shameful
ly beaten. His party are completely
disgusted with the airs he assumes and
intend to teach him little good taste
by fiattening out his pretensions. This
is truly gratifying to the Democrats.
They want to see the man who vilifed
and abused them for years, defeated by
a man whom they raised up to be the
leader of the "Republican" party in
this county! Only think of it! Fr.
Jordan discarded by party for which
he did all the dirty work for years, to
make way for arenegade Democrat, the
best part of whose life was spent in I'M
doing what Jordan did! Isn't it gIo-
rious! Francis had better take our adj
vice, which is that he withdraw from
the lists at once. No matter if he does
wear shoulder-straps, in this case "di5-
cretion is the better part Of valOr."

How NEGRoTROOPs GOT THEIR
REPUTATION.-4e those subsidized
white men and ruckling demagogues,
(says the Patrio& Union) who to-day,
14th,) by word act, are endeavor-
ing to bolster III Fictitious military
record for the ngrOes, who have been
brought to Hansburg to guzzle and
gorge, with thearms and in the uni
form of the Gvernment, (many Of
which have bee bought or borrowed
for the OccasiOn carefully ponder the
following. Ger Thomas II. Benton,
Jr., the Iowa oldier's candidate for
Governor, at he late election, in a
speech deliverd before the election,
after describingthe capture of a rebel
battery at the attle of Jenkins Fer
ry, Arkansas, b. his own men, said:
"What was ne indignation Of my
men when they Aw in the printed let
ters of these correspondents a glowing
account of the bravery of the colored
troops in st0rming this battery, and
ignoring the very existence of my reg
Iment, who really captured it, by not
even mentioning It's presence there.
But this indignation was still further
increased Wher, by some ones orders,
these very guns were sent up to st.
Louis and exhibited there at a soldiers
fair, with cerhin battle-fags, as tro-
phies of the bnvery of certain cOlored
troops, who wGe said to have stOrmed
and taken then at the battle of Jenk-

Of taking the gums was done by my

HOW IT WORKS.

They have just been having a negro
insurrectiOn in Jamaica. The British
government, moved by the same false
philanthropy which built up a asection-
al party in this country and overturned
the civil institutions Of fifteen states,
abolished the system of negro slavery
which once was in vogue in that island.
The result has been, idleness, crime and
misery as to the emancipated blacks,
and corresponding injury, distress and
ruin as to the whites. The experiment
of the social and political equality of
the Caucasian and the African, has been
fully tried in Jamaica, and the inevita-
Bile result is a war of races. The ne
grOes have risen against the whites and
have committed the most horrible mas
sacres. This uprising is not a rebellion
against the British government; it is
an effort to destroy the acHite inhabitants
Of Jamaica. 1t is not an attempt at
revolution, conducted on civilized prin-
ciples, but bloody butchery worthy
only of the darkest regions of barbar0us
Dahomey, or the farthest wilds of black
est Ethiopia. But it is only the out
cropping of the eternal principle i'm
planted by the Creator himself, in the
very nature Of his creature man. 1t
is the great divine law, written by the
finger of God, upon the face, the form,
the color, and upon every distinguish
ing feature Of the Representatives Of the
different races, re-asserting itself, in
spite Of the puffed-up wisdom of hu-
man philosophy. The races were ere
ated distinct and separate for great and
wise purposes, and political fanaticisn,
even though it urge its purposes under
the garb of philanthropy, cannot thwart
the will of the Almighty. Let this
solemn truth give pause to every man
who dreams Of that Utopia in which
all races, kindreds, tribes and tongues,
shall be socially and politically equal.
Let the news from Jamaica, showing
US at the same glimpse, the irreconcila-
bic diversity of nature between the
Caucasian and the African, and the GER
tainty that the latter, as the inferior
race, must go to the wall, teach all who
would do good to both races in this
country, to beware how they trampIe
under foOtthe plain and irreversible de

THE State elections held last week,
are considerably mixed" in result.
The Democrats lost New Jersey, the
only Northern state held by them dur
ing the war, their candidate for Gov
ernor being beaten about $500 votes.
To balance this, the AbOliti0nists lost
Louisiana, state under their control
ever since the capture of New Orleans;
Democratic majority too large to be
counted. New York went for the John
son ticket nominated by the Weed men,
by $4,000, the Democratic Johnson tick
ct not having quite so much "shOddy"
in it. But, then, Wisconsin defeated
Negro Suffrage and the Abolition ma
iority of 10000 last year, iscut down to
about 5000. In Maryland about one
fourth of the vote of the state was cast,
the Registry law excluding two thirds
of the voters. Baltimore city cast 81
600 votes out ofa voting population of
10000. OF course, under such circum-
stances, Abolitionism triumphed. The
Democrats carried New Haven, Conn,
Detroit, Mich, and Milwaukee, Wis

GEN. FRANK BLAIR EXCLUDED AS
a VoTER.-Recently there was a local
election in st. Louis MO, when
"Frank Blair refused to take theeIec-
tors oath prescribed by the new State
Constitution, in consequence of which
his vote was rejected. He would take
an oath of allegiance or oath of loyalty,
but the constitutional oath he would
not take. He has brought suit against
the Judges of Election for 1000 dam
ages for rejecting his vote, with the
view, he says, of testing the matter for
the courts"
Thus it will be seen that one of the
most gallant generals under Sherman,
who did the great successful fighting
of the war, cannot vote because of the
Wretched test oath in Missouri

Senator Sumuer---Ehe South and Recon-

Suffrage: The Presidents Interview
with North CarOliIiiaRs: Holden Claims
Election. Nc.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Senator
Sumner, of Massachusetts, acts as if he
were master of the situation. He is
constantly sending on here messages
and directions to men in position as to
what shall be done. Negro suffrage is
in his budget.
The course Of some Southern States
in refusing to adopt the Presidents pol
icy in regard to the rebel debt, and the
constitutional amendment, has greatly
embarrassed him and impaired his in
fiuence in relation to the immediate
recognition OfC0ngressmeni in the South
in time things may get better-much
depends on the South itself.
\ telegram from a distinguished
source states, that the majority against
negro suffrage in Wisconsin, is six or
eight thousand.
A dispatch from Governor Holden,
of date as late as any in the papers,
expresses the opinion that he is elected

This difference Of 5000 you have
now to pay the b0nd-holderS, assessors
and collectors for carrying on the civil
war to make the negro yOjir e4n0l-i0r
that is what is claimed by the radical
Abolitionists who have been ruling the
country for the last four years. Ia 1860,
ten DAYS work of q laboring man at 81
per day, would foot the bill; in 1863, it
will require twenty days work, at S2
per day (which very few iaboring men
getl to pay for the same bill OF goods.
In 1860, the farmer could come to town
and pay his bill Of goods with two bar
rels of flour; in 1865, Notwithstanding
the high price flour commands, it will
take four barrels to pay the same bill.
The above presents a plain statement
of facts which are brought home to aV-
erv householder in the community,
and especially every laboring man who
has to provide for himself and his fam
ily by his daily toll and industry, and
this state of things will continue justs
long as the governmental policy OF the
last few years is continued. If the
masses want a change, they will have
to dispense with the services of their
present rulers. There is no hope for
the country but in speedy return to
the old Democratic policy Of former
years. POHSriHe Standard.

PHILANTHROPIST
The Outbreak in Jamnicn.

1t seems difficult, from the tenor of
the advices from jamaica, to ascertain
any justifable cause for the melancholy
disturbances which have taken place in
that island. There was no apparent
reason for the outbreak; no grievances
to complain of, and the Government a.
gainst which it is said that an insurrec-
tiOn exists is that of the people who
have taken uparms. In Jamaica whites
and blacks enjoy equal rights, and the
officers are of both colOrs. The dispute
commencedins omedifflculties between
sailors belonging to the British Navy
and the local police. Therioters seem,
however, to have taken umbrage a.
gainst the police, which has suffered
terribly. Asusual, when mobs rule, the
insanity increases with opposition, and
the affair takes a different aspect at
the conclusion from what it had in the
beginning, turning itsfury agains tfresh
objects. FRANKLIN says, "Poor Rich
ards Almanac," "a mOb's a monster
all arms and no brains. ."-PbR Iaq3ti-
