a MAGNANIMOCS POIICY.-A CORES
pOndent of the New York Adcerti$er, writing
from Savannah, upon the present spirit of the
people, says:
The man who thinks that magnanimous
policy will avail anything in this region is a
fool. Strong, passive measures must be con
tinued, or we shall have to pass through the
scenes OF the past four years again. My opin
ion Is that three-fourths OF the people here are
honestly desirOus of accepting quietly the
changed state Of affairs, and abiding faithfully
by it. The other fourth part, made up of the
men who inaugurated the rebellion, are sullen
and dissatisfied, and only wait for good op-
pOrtunity to try their hands at a new rebellion
Could you only sit with me one hour under the
oaks in front of the Pulaski House, you would
not deem this opinion harsh You would hear
the chivalry of the South revehng in curses
and abuses of anything and everything -Whin-
they have lost their all. They sit here these
gallant sciOns OF chivalry, neither doing nor
trying to do anything--cu the government
because 1t permits the negroes to work for
themselves, instead of working to support the
miserable and worthless fellows that they are. y
Says the Phila. Ledger: : If three-fourth
Of the people are honestly desirous of accept
ing the measures of the Government and abid-
ing by them, very wonderful change, indeed,
has taken place i'll very short time. 1t can
not reasonably be expected that a whole COM
mumty will be Of one way of thinking; but a
portion OF three-fOurths in favor OF faithfully
complying with the Government requirements
is certainly most extraordinary evidence OF
concurrence OF sentiment upon public policy.

Murder in Greel witch, Conn.

A returned soldier was killed at Greenwich.

otous crowd of young fellows who had underta-
ken to lntilct summary punishment upOn ne
gra who was living near that town, very peace-
ably, and mndlng his own business. His Of
fence, as they deemed it, was in having white
wife, an Irish girl, who voluntarily married
him, and with whom he had lived for consid-
erable period This was thought by the assail-
ants to be worthy of mob justice, and, after
tortltying with the requisite liquor, they under
took to drag forth the part-colored partners.
But little accident interfGred; a wide awake
old negro woman, who was not afraid to defend
her house, nor even afraid of handling a gun,
confronted the mob at the door and advised
them to deslst, at the same time firing over
their heads. They were only about fifteen to
one, and after little scare they concluded to
go on with the job. So they threw stones at
the house, and made various attempts to get
ln The old black woman at last fired directly
into the crowd. shooting the ringleader through
the brain. He died Immediately, and his
brave companions retired, giving up the lob as
a bad speculation. The negroes were taken
INTO custody without resistance, and all parties
were examined by the COroner's Jury. The
case was plain, it would seem, the iurv found
verdict of justifable homicide, and ordered
the discharge of the prisoners, but not the re-
tention of the young fellows who testified that
they were Of the party, and went on purpose
to play the mischief with the darkeys. All
was now over, but there seems to have been an
amusing episode in the form of a volunteer ad-
eresS to the chief negro by one of the Jurors,
speaking, of course, for himself only. The
spirit OF his address was this: You have done
Just right; the law is all on your side we must
all Justify and protect you; there is nothing we

Burning OF the Upper Portion of st. Georges
Nj. T.. Church.

About hall past nine O'Clock Saturday morn
ing, the roof OF the St. George NJ. T.. Church
on Fourth street, below New, in the Sixth
ward, Philadelphia, was discovered to be OH
hre Several hire companies were early Jn the
ground, but the flames having got between the
roof and the false ceiling defed the Efforts Of
the hremen for some time and burned very
stubhornly. A large number Of fire companies
came upon the ground, and an immense quan-
tlty OF water was thrown upon and into the
burning structure
Inc fameS were not finally checked until the
r001 OF the building had been entirely burned
oft, the galleries nearly DESTROYED and the mi. mi
PIT, pretty badly damaged. The chandeliers
and other fixtures in the upper part of the edi
nee were also ruined. A couple of marble ta-
Diets, with the names of the various pastors of
the church inscribed thereon, which had been
placed on each side of the pulpit within few
months past, were saved uninjured.
The lower part of the church was completely
Hooded with water, and the library has proba-
bly, sustained considerable damage.
There IS an insurance Of $4,000 upon the
building in the Fire Association which will
more than cover the loss.
The fire originated from sparks from the
chimney of an adjoining undertaken shop.
The st. Georges NJ +. Church is the old
est one belonging to that denomination in the
city, 1t was founded in 1863 and was pur-
chased by the Methodist Society in 100, the
meetings having previously been held at an inn
situated IN court which formerly ran from
Arch to Cherry, near Fourth street. When
purchased the structure was yet in an unfnish-
ed state, and it was long a cold and dreary-
looking place, having been fitted up in a rough
and temporary manner. The pulpit stood
about twenty feet from the cast end.
During the Revolutionary War the cdifce
was occupied by the British, first as a hospital
and afterwards as stable for cavalry horses.
In 1887 the building was completely remodel
ed, and the whole interior arrangements were
altered The old walls still remain During
the riots in 1874, when St. Augustine Church
was destroyed, St. George was on fire several
times, and made very narrow escape from
destruction. The Church is now one of the
most commodious, and has one of the largest
congregations in the city.
Until repaired, the Rev. G. D. Carrow, of
the Union NJ. E. Church, has invited the con
gregation to worship at his Church, on Fourth
street, below Arch

BY the operations and results of the war,
Slavery has ceased to exist in this State. It
cannot be revived. Every voter for delegates

takes a solemn oath to support the freedom of
