II; CHUKCH 9CoMMUN1oE WITH THE
S6uTM, Bishop Potter, Of New York,
In his able. and eloquent address to
the Episcopal Convention, said:
Among the many happy conse-
Aquences of the restoration of peace
will be,it is presumed, the speedy
re-appearance d our General Eccle-
siastical Council Of the beloved breth-
rem, bishops. clergy and laitx. whS,
for four years, have been separated
from US by hindrances incident to a
state OF war. It %in be reunion
that Will arouse the tenderest sensi-
bilities of every Christian heart. It
will show that old affections have only
been restrained, not extinguished,
and that feelings long pent up claim a
more than ordinary Indulgence in
demonstrations of love, respect and
sympathy. I verify believe, as I do
most fervently hope and pray, that
ness will be heard, not one look of
coldness appear, to mar the dignity
and loveliness of that touching scene.
In that much-longed-for welcome
hour, we shall need no declaration of
principles, no formal vindication of
the peaceful character of the Christian
ministry. Diyine Providence has
spoken! Any words that we can use
in reference to the past, whether per-
sons or things, will be mere imper-
tinence, adding nothing to the lessons
that come to us from above, and only
tending to change celestial harmonies
into the miserable discordant sounds
of earth-born passion. The impor-
tant acts of the Southern Diocese,
done while they were in state of
separation from u.s. and which there
fore require the sanction of the Gene
raj Convention, will unquestionably
be recognized and confirmed at once.
They are only three in number The
election of Bishop Wilmer by the
Diocese of Alabama, the erection of
Arkansas into a regularly organized
diocese, and the election of the mis-
sionary bishop of the Southwest, DR..
Lay, to the Episcopate of Arkansas.
These acts were eminently proper
under the circumstances -

The house occupied By Mr.. Davis
in Richmond during the war is to be
fitted up for the reception of Presi-
dent johnson, on his approaching
visit to that city. The structure is
situated on the South corner of
Twelfth and Clay streets, and may be
described as three-story basement
house, with a heavy English color
made portico front to hall which
reaches to the top of the second story.
The entrance is by Corinthian por-
tlco front to hall which extends
light and left nearly the entire front
of the building; the exception being
q small Office apartment m the North
corner, wherein Mr.. Davis was accus-
toned to open his correspondence
early each morning immediately in
front of the entrance is large and
elegant reception parlor, occupying
the ccntrc-about one-third of the
principal story. To the right of this
room is splendid parlor, which
opens into the first by sliding doors.
The room at the left is an immense
dining-hall, wherein dinners were
served fifty years ago, under the
genial auspices of the late DR.. Brock
enborongh, President of the ancient
Bank of Virginia, in true Virginia
style.

The Mobile Atice:1iser gives the
following. important information IN
regard to the question of labor supply
for the South:
S'We received a call, yesterday,
from Capt. Thomas II. Boyle, fo1-
merly of the ship Ticonderoga, and
for some time engaged in transporting
Cinnamon to Havana. He is well
acquainted with these people, and
believes they will afford the best and
cheapest labor in the world. Hepro-
poses, on guarantee payment of their
passage money, to bring here first
from Cuba, where their contracts are
about expiring, and afterwards from
China, such numbers as may be re-
quired.
'::They make good plantation hands,
and are unsurpassed as house-ser-
wants. They are, of course, free, and
can be hired for from 81 to Sc per
month, and require to be furnished
board and four suits of clothing a
year.

Nothing can be more. dlvertlng
than the howls Of rage and; despair,
long, dismal and unearthly, which the
friends Of anarchy and miscegenation
are uttering over the scarlet sin" of
noble little Connecticut. Their woe
is dismal and inconsolable. The vote
of Connecticut is the most significant
event Of the day. It shows that the
laHg, dreary winter OF New England
fanaticism is about closing. 1.-The ice
on the Neva is breaking up, as the
Russian joyously shouts when the
strong vernal tides flowing in from
the Baltu shatter the congelations of
long Arctic winter.
Reason, patriotism and common
sense have scaled the battlements of
fanaticism, and the flag of purified
Union, with its new objects and aims,
now floats from the battlements Of a
New England State. Ldus 1so.
The refusal of the people of Con-
necticut to place the negro upon an
equality with the white man, removes
aemost alarming and formidable obsta-
Gle from the path of reconstruction.
AS matter of course, there is great
trlDulat1on III the camp OF the radicals
at this unexpected and fatal catas.
trophc. The ssso-called" religious
newspapers like the Independent, are
loudest in their sorrow, and they have
excommunicated Connecticut with
bell, book and candle. Beecher's
elders of the ''Church of the Puri-
tans" are evidently longing,,t to revive
the ancient practice of the Church,
and wish to burn Connecticut as a
witch, or brand her with that scarlet
letter of sin with which unfortunate
females were marked in the good old
days when the Code of Moses was the
living law of Connecticut.
But ere many years, even New Eng
land will thank her for having first
broken the fetters of fanaticism which
have so long bound the limbs of New
England.

LECTURE on MICRO SuFrnAGE NC,

LECTURE ON NReHo SUFFRAGE IN Co.
LuMRUs. A colored 'sgemman" from
Boston, held forth, on Monday after
noon, in the Colored Methodist
Church, to the freemen of Columbus,
upon negro suffrage. a quarter was
charged for each admission, A large
number OF men, women and children
attended, and the Boston "gemman''
must have taken in considerable
sum. The lecturer, we suppose, de-
monstrated very conclusively that
suffrage would greatly enhance the
happiness of the African race. One
Of the audience, after the lecture, was
heard to say, "Nex quarter Use got

CUBAN SLAVERY. We referred some
days ago to the perils that now sur
round slav90 in Cuba, owing to the
abolition oMthe institution in this
country, and the growth of the ibe-
raj and anti-slavery party in Spain.
The lateD issue at hand of the Lon
don 4ftS discusses the same subject.
1t dec1Fes that ''the influence which
the abolition of slavery in the United
States may exert Indirectly upon the
exiS6ng system in Cuba, has not
escaped the attention of the leading
merchants of Havana, whose conclu-
sions with respect to it, however, are
not discouraging, either as regards
the prospects of the colored popula-
ton or the continued prosperity of
the island. - The large majority of
the Cuban planters look to the adop-
ton of plan of gradual emancipa-
ton, and are confident the result will
in no way permanently impair their
commercial strength and resources
Their ground for this belief consists
In the experience for the last few
years of the rapid advance of me.
chanical as compared with manual
labor. Statistics recently published
show that in 1916 there were in the
island 1913, ,772 slaves, while the pro-
duction OF sugar was II, 729, $50 AFRO
bas. In 1862, the slaves numbered
1868, $50, and the production of sugar
reached Fl, ,41S,444 arrobas. Thus,
while the increase of slaves was less
than fourteen per cent, the increase
of sugar production was more than
$50 per cent. The introduction of
machinery, new and improved me-
thods OF culture, and immigration
from China, have been the cause of
this change, and they are considered
certain to continue in a still increas-
ing ratio to replace slave labor. \

How CHOLERA IS SUCCESSFULLY
TREATED.-It may be saiG that cho-
lera, in its first stage, can always be
successfully treated, unless the sys-
tenn is weakened by other diseases,
by dissipation, or by some special
cause.
The Rev DR. Hamlin's cholera mix
ture-cqual parts by weight of LIQUID
laudanum, spirits of camphor and
tincture of .rhubarb--has been used
here not only by him, but by many
others, with the greatest success in
meeting the first stages of the disease.
Ii diarrhGa is carefully kept off by
the use of mixture the danger Of
cholera is very slight.
In the second stage Of relapse and
cramps. clear brandy taken internally,
mustard plaste,s, and other means OF
keeping up external heat by friction, !.
&c, are very often used with success.
There is always hope in cholera until
the patient is actually dead, and in
severe cases recovery often depends
upon the persistency and energy with
which the. disease is met and attacked
at every stage.-Ner0 Fork Tribune.

ODD FELLOWS PROCESSION. The
Baltimore correspondent of the Au-
gusta Constisuttonalisl says:
s'The Odd Fellows celebration was
q mammoth affair. Fully $4,000 of
the mystic brotherhood were in pro-
cession, with handsome banners and
regalia. There were gaudy cars in
the pageant, filed with not very
pretty female children, many of whom
bore wands with the names of differ
ent States inscribed thereon. 1t is
an indisputable fact that the repre-
sentatives of Georgia and South Caro-
lima were the handsomest. The High
Priest was decked in pontifcal robes
and mitre, seated in a red tent and
guarded by two men in black armor,"

sstion.l STRIFE.

One OF the results OF the peace we
hada just right to expect, was the
! total destruction of sectionalsm; and
although the spirit Of fanaticism now
and then exhibits itself in new issues
and political dogmas, we have great
confidence that the good sense Of the
reunited American people will exter-
inmate it in both sections Of the coun-
try. It has been well said that Sec
tional spirit cannot exist to any extent
whatever without mischief. It is sure
to- weaken patriotism, to subject all
great public questions to the narrow
est views and most selfish considera-
tions, to produce inequality and in
justice, to engender bitterness, to
foment discord, to mislead political
parties, to pervert the administration
of the Government, to distract and
cramp the energies of the people, to
derange private business, to. perpe-
tuate restlessness and confusion, to
cover our institutions with dishonor.
The slightest observer of even its
nildest type in the past needs no
proof of the Importance of making an
end Of it, completely and forever.
And why should there now be strife
between people whose best interests,
whose national greatness, whose
mighty influence upon the destinies
of other peoples and nationalities, all
depend upon that political Union
which we hope never more to see dis
tufbed? The South staked the insti-
tuition of slavery and the doctrine of
the right of secession upon the. issue
of mighty conflict, and she has been
defeated. The nation, in its power,
has decided that slavery shall no
longer exist, and that the Union shall
be preserved; and the Southern States
have accepted the decision in good
faith, and have yielded manfully to
all the requirements of the situation
they now find themselves placed in.
We trust, therefore, that sectional
strife VIII be driven from the land;
that fanatics in any portion of the
county will be put down by the wis
dom and conservatism of the great
mass Of the people, and by the patri-
otism and frmness of those who ad-
minister the Government. The peo-
pie Of the Southean States who have
already spoken through their conven-
tions have all endorsed the policy of
President johnson, and we hope and
believe that the masses of the North
ern people, in all their political action
which may bear upon the subject,
will do the same in such an effectual
manner as will deprive fanaticism and
radicalism of the last vestige of power
to inflict injury upon the country.

REDUCTION OF THE HOURS OF LABOR.
We notice in the Baltimore Sun, of
the 4th inst, an imposing procession
and immense meeting of the mechan-
les and working-men of Baltimore,
had and held in that city ca the Sd,
the object of the demonstration being
to forward movement for reducing
the hours of labor, and establishing
eight hours as days work. This
abridgment of the hours of labor is
sought to be effected by legislative
action. One of the speakers, Mr..
Jonathan G. Fincher, of Philadelphia,
editor of the Rerie,c, (achat Recietc we
do not know,) and President of the
International Machinists and Black
smiths, (what an international Ma
chinist or Blacksmith is, is not ex-
planned, said that their organization
intended to demand of the General
Government, through Congress-. an
enactment making eight hours lefel
days work, and if Congress refused
to grant it, the working-men of the
country had the power to keep any
Congressman opposing them at home
for all future time. Mr.. Fincher
seems to make no account of the
slight objections and small practical
difficulties that appear to lie in his
way. The regulation of the hours of
labor does not fall within the range of
Congressional functions or powers,
and this 'International' gentleman
simply spouts international nonsense
The ten hours system, now so gene
rally recognized, does not owe its re-
cognition to statutory enactment, nor
do we think the eight hour system,
if ever it should be established, will
be established by mere force of law.
A period when all the energies of the
whole people are required to repair
the ravages of war, is a bad one in
which to start an agitation for the
cnrtailment Of labor For time we
ought all to work double tides instead
of clamorirg for abatement or relaxa-
