p BY Albert ID. Richardson, Tribune CorrespOn-
dent. vol large octave, PIP. 512. Issued by
the American Publishing Company, Hartford,
GSohh.t hsslS8xDE 10 Sasa
The scope and purpose of this interesting book
have already been set forth in the notice in our
columns which announced it as in press. 1t
will be found to contain some of the most vivid
| and striking pictures of southern life in the
early part Of the rebellion which have ever APP
peared in print; and its descriptions of those
fearful scenes which characterized the interior
OF southern prisons, have terrible distinctness
which only thepen of an eyewitness could give
them. Mr. Richardson tells his story in a
straightforward and pleasing manner, and the
interest of his narrative never flags. sa4
The external appearance of his book is all
that could be asked. The fine paper, beautifully
clear type, and substantial binding, are each
modelsin their way 1t is relief to read such
book. dss! 81 snAg asa

i a SIGNIFICANT STRAW.

The Boston Post seems anxious to place it.
self right ON the great issues of the day, but is
evidently embarrassed by its party affiliations.
Instinctively it favors universal suffrage, ire
,spectiye Of Glass; caste or color, but its party
having becomes fossil, unalterably fixed on,
the side Of despotism, aristocracy and exclua
siyeness, the Post has,tagive utterance to its
feelings in metaphor, or under the siniltude
of dreams or revelations. Here is an example.
The editor gives what pprports to lie a CON-
versation overheard between the Webster and
Mann Statues on the Fourth IF july as they
stand on the public grounds in front of the
State House in Boston. After mutual con-
gra5ulations ON the return of the day under
such suspicious circumstances, the Post edi-
itor makes the bronze lips Of tie Mann STAT
ue give utterance to these words;
Ibelieve, in the extension of the rightof
suffrage all men who are competent to en-
joy the privilege, andin the equality ofall men
before the law. Nf| y
Mr.. Mann, it win be remembered, was
champion of universal liberty, but believed the
voter should have an intelligent idea of the
government he was by his ballot to uphold; in
other words, he believed in the natural rela-
tions Of Liberty anil Education, as Mr.. Web
ster did in thpse Of Union and Liberty To
the above expression # the great defender Of
universal Education, the Post lnakes the great
expounder reply as follows--the writer EVIDENT
ly embodying his own thought and feeling in
the words: ~ ~ Al III
J. Sir, if you allude to the Acknowledgement of
all men. of whatever race or color, my judge
ment is that when any man of color, educated
IN the common schools, deposits a vote which
he can write himself, gives deposition which
he can read and sign, and pays tax on the
homestead he has bought or his poll tax if he
owns no homestead, the law should force 10
comparisons between his intellectual, moral,
physical or social position, and that of the 4
white citizen, of whatever race OF nation, who
lives, votes, or testifies by his side. Esa
& This language becomes more significant
when it is remembered that it exhibits the
substantial basis of suffrage as was fixed in
Massachusetts, requiring, as a condition, the
payment of a poll tax an d the ability to read
and write, but making no distinctions in this
regard on account Of color. + The Post goes be-
yond the the common doctrine of political ne,
gro capacity, and insists that the law should
form no comparisons between even his social
position and that of the white citizen. Were

The Herald's special Washington dispatch
says several reports have been received at the
isiana. In Alabama the planters are entering
into labor contracts with the negroes in good
faith, and little persuasion is needed. AT Sell
ma, however, an assistant commissioner is
needed. In consequence of absurd stories
having been promulgated, it was decided to-
call meeting Of the planters, which was large
ly attended, and the system adopted for the
regulation of the future relations between the
negroes and planters by the Bureau was plain
working well. e IL
the Herald states that treaty has been en-
tered into between Col. Mathews of the United
States army and Gen. Waite of the Cherokee
nation, by which ell the tribes formerly allied
with the rebels will return to their homes and
keep peace with the United States.

In closing he alluded to our recent struggle

style is ford, his manner earnest, and bis
voice deep-toned and musical. This was one
