observing person who treads the streets of
the city, one thing is evident, that if the
negroes are not idle, they are busily en-
gagged in doing nothing. The circus
wagon containing the music of the eXhi
ton, ns it parades the different thorough
fares every day, carries with it wake of
wooly heads and eboshns, in quantity
enough to work a thousand acres of corn
or tobacco. at every corner a table is
displayed covered with every species of
condiments to suit every palate and the
attendants at each booth or stall will ave.
rage nearly dozen throughout the CITY.

away their time, again we say we have
not the slightest word to say-that is.
uHti! the civil Government inaugurate a
poor house and tax our pocket for the sup

and they have the right to say on what
terms they will labor, and to refuse the
labor j: the compensation is not sufficient.
y number now supported upon Govern
m"nt rations may like their present mode
Of life and glory in it; but what is to be
the future Of the African, when the benc-
Violence OF the authorities is suspended. is
a puzzling question to great number Of
thinking minds. They manage to live
now by some means. but as a general
thing the past six weeks, and probably the
coming fortnight or SO. has been q great
hoiiday-a sort of elongated Christmas or
expanded Whitsuntide. Labor will be too
cheap for idle or lazy persons; they will
not be able to live if the support of the
Government be withdrawn. Even now
we know of cases where excellent cooks
and house servants are giving their SER

the fate OF those idle wret ches who prone

The Riehmond correspondent Of the
Philsdelphia Press gives the following de-
scription of the way things were going in
Richmond under the management of the
traitOrous Mayor Mayo. We are glad to
state that since this letter was written the
infamous rebel has been, as the telegraph
expressiSely phrases it. 'ts~quelched."
lPARoLED REBELS ARE THE CRIMINALS.
It has been ascsrtsined beyond any
doubt that the disgrsceful scenes which are
of almost nightly occurrence are perpetra-
ted by psroled rebel troops, in the uniform
of our soldiers, and not u~nfrequently with
blscksned faces. Msyo's police, who can
be- seen on every corner and along every
street, in the daytime, sometimes mounted,
hunting down lOysl negroes, are nowhere
to be found in the night, while robberies
and almost murder are committed upOR
the public tho%roughfsres. While there are
some negroes and some Union soldiers who
are guilty of many of the crimes perpetra-
ted in this city, the large majority of them
arecommitted by rebel soldiers and citizens
whom the misfortunes of war have left in q
c0nnllon OF poverty elther W "OIA VI

| 4-- , ERAL LEES.
It has been the custom for Msyo's police
70 arrest all negroes who had Lot a pass
from the provost marshal. The military
| guard, previous to their reinstatement
would recognize the passes given by en-
| ployers to their servants or workmeD, but
the police, during the last day or two,
would not consider them sufficient to pro
1 tect the blacks from arrest, IS many cOlOred
persons hired others, and had issued passes
to them. Yesterday one of Lees negro
servants was halted by n Of the police
force, and asked if ne had q pass. He re.
piled IL the affirmative. "Who is it from 2"
inquired the the rebel policemen. "From
General Lee" replied the negro "YoT
eoaddH' tkGUe gotten one from a better man,"
was the expressive response Of Jhe traitor
who holds his Office by loyal permission =
| Of course, Lees servant was not molested (;
but if be had been General Grants, the
probabilities are that he would have gone

The richest three Of the New York mil
~lionaires are thus described:
William B. Astor, worth about fifty mill
lions, owns about one Thousand stores aud
dwellings, and hiss the reputation of being
q good and lsnieRt landlord. he is q well
preserved old gentlemen, on the cloudy
side Of sixty, industrious, reticent and
punctual. He seldom shows his face at a
public gathering, rarely makes himself
conspicuous in the newspapers, aRd seems
to be devoted almost entirely 70 the task
of taking care of his immense fortune. He
Is tall, straight, spare, gray and grave.
A. 7. Stewart is REPEATED to be worth
thirty millions. Though an active bust
ness man, he finds time to look after the
interests of the city, and he hss made him
self prominent in ms patriotic endeayors to
put down the rebellion. de is s tall thin
man, of nervous temperament. He is
about sixty years of sge, quiet and digni-
fed In his department, and ~chsritably dis
posed when sppess reach him. In this
city and elsewhere many Of the currents
# charity are damned at the desks of pri-
vAte secretaries.
Commodore Vanderbilt is 8 tall, white
haired, red-cheeked, handsome old man of
seventy, and past. He drives q fast horse,
sails a fast boat and sometimes associates
with fast men. He is worth at least TWEEN
~ (some say forty) millions. He is n

The Judicial Difficulty I'm ~. Louis.
A St. Louis dispatch thus describes the
manner in which the Judges of tia SUI
preme Court were ousted by Governor
Fletcher:
About ten o'clock this morning Cover
nor Fletcher, who arrived in the city yes
terdsy from Louisville, sent q letter to the
Judge of the Supreme UOurt by the hand
of General Coleman, commanding the en-
rolled militia of this District directing
them 70 vscate their seats and surrender
the records of the court. The Judges re-
fused to comply with this ORDER and gave
q verbal reply that the Governor had no
right to interfere with the duties and bust.
ness of the court. General Coleman retired,
and, in half an hour, returned and inform
ed the Judges that he had an order from the
Governor to arresEthem. Atthe same time
he exhibited the Governors order. The
Judges again protested, one asserted that
the Governor had no authority to arrest
them and interfere with their proceedings.
General Coleman replied that he must
obey his order, snd asked the Judges TO
yield without resistance. This they re-
fused to do. General Coleman then pro-
posed that he should lay his hand on the
hands of the judges, ano this should be
considered q sufficient exercise of force.
This a-so was refused General Coleman
then went to the door, brought in the
police, advanced to the bench, took the
Judges, William V. n. Bay and John ID.
IS. DRYDEN, from their seats. General
Coleman obtained possession of the key
70 the clerks ofiss from Mr.. Mead, and
the new Judges we're quietly placed in
poss ssion of the Supreme Court bench.

RecOnstructiOn in BOrfh CarOIinc-s,
1he Negro Question.

Reconstruction IN hOrtn sarOl1ne-ss
1he Negro Question.
The Raleigh correspondent of the New
York Times writes as follows in regard to
the prospects of justice to the black men
in the reorganization Of North Carolina:
1t is now definitely known that a call
for 8 convention to be held in August will
soon be issued. At the furthest the con-
vention viii meet during the early part of
September.
The work Of the convention is canvassed
bv all parties, even those included in the
exceptions of the Amnesty Proclamation,
. e~vincing considerable interest. From ali
that l can learn, The constitution of the
State will be ~remodeled, in all probability
after the styleof the one lately adopted by
Tennessee. The negro question absorbs
more attention than any other and
will probably consume more time
10 the convention. There are many
different projects discussed, and
while many o. them profess to be intended
Tor the elevation and Smsioration of the
black, there are but few men who are
really his friend. / have yet to hear q
resident voter in this State express q wish
TO see the. negro have a right If suffrage.
Several of them, including one or two
leading men, lave told me that in case the
President should insist on it they
would submit although they considered
that such q draft on their allegiance would
be q complete reputation Of the doctrine
of State Riehts--s subject by the way,
which is very seldom talked of here and
when it is incidentally introduced in con-
versstion it is dropped like a hot potato.
There Is great fear that in their dealings
with this subject the members of the COZ
ye1tion will be inclined to deprive the
negro of some of his rights, to say nothing
of the question of suffrage, and impose on
him a great many restrictions. Nomins-
lions of candidates for the convention have
already been made in a crest many lOesli-
ties, and 50 far they are men Of the right
stripe. Having the example of the recent
elections in Virginia before their eyes, the
people here have been very careful in their
selections. =
