GIN. Taylor was to have left for Meridian
At !; N. last night, for the purpose of car
ryinL into effect the terms Of the surrender.
The New Orleans Bee says, editorially, the
only nac. worthy point Of difference between
the tcras Of Gen. Dick Taylor's surrender
and thO'e of Gen. Lees appears to be in the
third sricle Of the former 8 capitulation, in
which article is the stipulation that parolei
prisonersrnsy return to their homes with
s'sursnceof being undisturbed as long as
they observe their paroles and the laws in
force wher, they reside. The proviso 10 ad.
ded except hat persons resident of North
ern States will not DO permitted to return
without ni2sion.
This sdditien was made perhaps in conse-
quence Of the recent opinion Of Attorney
General Speed promulgated by the War
Department, th,t rebel oficers who surren-
dered to Gen. Cant have no homes within
the loyal States and have no right to come
to places which we're their homes prior to
their going into tn, rebellion. The wording
of the proviso abov. quoted from the terms
granted to Gen. TAILOR would seem to indi-
cate that in this case the words "loyal
States" we're consrued as synonymous
with "Northcrn Stats A question per-
hnps might arise as Il whether this limita-
tion was contemplated in the Attorney
Generals opinion.

certain States heretofore declared to be in

resistance as well as the operations of the
insurgent cruisers were directed, arc fugi-

infesting the high seas, and others are pre-
pairing 10 capture, burn and destroy vessels
Of the United States, he enjoins all naval,
military, and civil officers of the United
States diligently to endeavor by all lawful
means 10 arrest the said cruisers, and to
bring them into port Of the United States,
in order that they may be prevented from
committing further depredations on COM
merce, and that the persons on board OF
them may no longer enjoy impunity for
their crimes; and he further proclains and
declares that il, after a reasonable time
shall have elapsed for this proclamation TO
become kn .wn in the ports OF nations

Of them shall continue to receive hospitality
in the said ports, this Government will deem

State Cotton Operations,

The Report Of the Chief Cotton Agent for
the State is now complete, so far % il can be
made at present, the books Of J. l.. Williams,
who had charge OF the Eagle Pass Office, not
having yet arrived. They ore expected dai.
ly. when the whole matter will be closed.
and the Report is now open TO the inspec-
ton Of the public. We have been permitted
to make the following abstract, from which
it appears that the total amount of cotton,
exported under the plan, was 8,lO2 bales,
one'hslf Of which was on account of the
State, viz: 4,O5l bales, which yielded per
bale an average Of $52,G4. The amount ac-
tunlly realized to the State, up to this date,
is $l3l ,49O 81. This 10 exclusive Of the
amount due by Williams, which is supposed
to be about $4,000. The amount of bonds
to be issued IS $l95, 1870 20, and the expen.
scs Of the who operations (which cannot
be rendered till all williams accounts are
received) viii! probably be about $1,000
In the purchase Of cotto to pay for arms, a
profit was made Of upwards o. $4,000. So
far as Col. Armstrong Report shows, it ap-
pears that only 1881 bales, out of the mount
exported by him, shipped on account Of
the State, have reverted to it, which were
sold at the enhanced price, the vendors Of

The Soldiers Voting Law,

Shoddy organs are endeavoring 10 make
little capital against the Democratic party by
charging that ''every one of it's members
the Legislature, orators and newspapers Vio'
lently opposed the soldiers voting amend l.
ment." THIS if an uAbushing fa,sehood -
No opposition was offered to the principle of
allowing sol1ers that right, by either legis-
lators, orators or presses, but it was frequent
ly stated that the law was meraly intended
Tor the benefit of the Republican party, and
that Dem mocratic soldiers would not secure
generally the right to vote under it because
their actions were under the control of offici-
ais of the dominant party. The election sub
sequently held demonstrated the truth OF
those statements, for thousand of Democratic
soldiers were disfranchised, while the doors
to fraud were opened wide on the other side
Tho soldiers themselves saw, and many
now acknowledge, that however good the law
may be the execution OF II was O gigantic
fraud on the ballot box and farce upon rep.
resenta,ive government.
The Democratic party, although conscious
that the whole intent of their opponents was
to carry the election last fall by fraud and
force. made no issue upon the soldiers votirg
amendment The proof Of this is to be found
in the fact that in fourteen counties, casting
Democratic majoritiea, the amendment was
adopted by Democratic votes. As prooftaat
the democracy did not make that amendment
On issue, it is only necessary to refer to the
fsct that it carried in the State by one hun
dred thomsard majority Had the Repub
lican party that much Of majority ip Au-
gust, 1854 ? If 50, then during the three fol-
lowing months that party lost no less than
eighty Ihousend-fur with all their figures
and frauds they could not exhibit more tina
a majority Of about t,Denty thousand in the
following November. These facts make it evi.
dent that EVERY Democratic legislator, ora
tor an press" did not violently oppose the
soldiers voting amendment.
A reference to the House journal will also
show that, On the final passage of the amend
ment, ninety one members voted for and
only t1oo against this amendment. Does
that fact add any weigh to the shoddy false.
hood The truth Of the matter is, that had
the Democratic tarty of Pennsylvania or-
posed the soldiers voting amendment, it
'Oould hare been defeated. For proof of this
we have only to point to the fact that on the
home rote in October last the Democracy had
a majority of nearly a thousand votes

The Bedford GDzette utters much tru III in
the following
The negro suffrage men are at :heir old
game. When they were about to start the
"Republican" party, the wire-workers de-
MED that they were "RcpubcaSs," vowed
that they never would 60 with that party,
oh no they only wanted to fuse with it
for one election, so as to beat the bastard
''loco tocoes," Well, they did fuse xlth it
and succeeded in ding what they intended
to; thy carried oper their foLLopers into
the arms Of the so called "Repubticanisr, :"
Very well. The Democrats, then, accused
these leaders with design to a6oEtionize
the "Republican" party. Oh how visor.
ously they denied 1t How angry they be-
came at the bare mention Of the word Aboli
tion What! They become Aboitionsts ?
Never, never and if their party would enc
dorse the doctrines Of Abolitionlsm, they
would be 'sdone with il" forever. Such
were their protcstations but no sooner did
they find it safe to announce themselves Alb
oltionists' then they did so, and to-day there
are but few of them who do not glory in the
shame of their inconsistency. Thus have
the masses OF the opposition to the Dcmocra.
cy been led step by step, toward the accom-
plishment of the ultimate design Of the plot
ters against the perpetu,y Of the Republic.
From the very day when the independence
of the colonies was established, there were
men in this country who opposed a republl-
can form Of government. They wanted, and
now clamor for, strong that is, consol
dated, an imperial government. They have
So IA succeeded in their purposes, as To es,
tablish a military despotism, which sets
aside the Cunstit ut ion and Laws of the coun
try, and substitutes for them the will of a
tribunal, IN the choice of which the people
have not been permitted TO take part In
order to sustain this usurpation, they find il,
necessary to give the ballot to the ignorant
colored people whose votes they expect TO

sequent Justification of The permanent es
tdbl ishment of q nson0rchiat form of 9Ou-

their guard. Ifyou wait till Republican
leaders show their hand, you will be bound
hand and loot. Now is the time to defeat
them in their nefarious purpose. Now is the
accepted time for oil uen who love their
country and hope for the endurance of the
Republic. to strike hands and VOW that the
