No Foreigners Wanted south.

The Chicago Tribune, one Of the leading
organs of the party which regulates the eth
les, morals, politics, aud social and political
economy of the whole country-especially the
southern portion of it-has issued the follow
ing ukase. Let the dutch and Irish" as
the republicans call them, understand that
they are not to be permitted to live at the
SOUTH but that the negroes are to have a
monopoly OF the labor furnished by that Sec
ton. Says the Tribune:
The south does not, at present, need labor; es-
peciaiy does it not need ignorant ,unskilled cheap
labor. OF that the negro population furnishes her
with an abundance, probably in some districts
with a surplus. Every pauper laborer from Eu-
rope, whether Irish or German, whom this society
may deport into the south. will be welcomed by
the negro extermitators, now rampant there, and
the company, instead of regenerating the SOUTH
will be sending white competitors 10 bid away the
negroes work and bread.

OF TRADE WITH
SOUTH.
WI All THE
Presidents Proclamation.

WHEREAS, BY my proclamation of the 18th and
oath of June, 1865, removing restriction IN part
upon International domestic and coastwIse inter
course and trade with states recently declared IN
Instruction certain articles were excluded from
the effect of said proclamation contraband OF
war; and
WHEREAS, The necessity for restricting trade
in said articles has now, in great measure,
ceased, 1t is hereby ordered that and after the
LIST day OF September, 1865, all the restrictions
aforesaid be removed that the articles de-
cared By that proclamation to be contraband of
war may be imported into and sold IN said states,
subject only to such regulations as the secretary
of the treasury may prescribe.
In testimony whereof, nave hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal OF the United States to
be affixed.
[L.S 81 Done at the city of Washington, this 29th
day OF August, in the year OF our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty five, and the
independence of the United States of America

By the President, ANDREW JOHNSON.
William Fl. Seward, Secretary OF State.
So, it seems, from the above proclamation,
that the president is not afraid to trust the
southern people, who, the telegraph aud GER
tain letter writers tell US are still such
terrible rebels, with articles contraband of
war. This proclamation is a plete ex
tinguisher of all such viIlainous fabrications.

A Germaa Mass Meeting at Detroit.

About 1000 citizens of Detroit, mostly Ger
mans, assembled in the Campus Martius in
that city on Saturday the I'd inst. to consider
the Sunday ordinance which has been order
ed to be enforced in that city. A number OIL
speeches were made aud the following resolu-
tions adopted:
Whereas The declaration of independence
and the constitution of the United Stater,
and of the state IF Miohigon. as we'll the
spirit of free republican government, guar
antees to every citizen the fullest religious
and personal liberty which is not inoougru-
GUS with the rights and privileges OF other
citizens and,
Whereas, The constitution OF the United
States and the state of Michigan prohibit the
establishment or the political supremacy of
any religious denomination or church, and
expressly declares that no civil or political
right shall be dependent upon the opinion
and belief concerning matters OF religion !;
and,
Whereas We must regard the so called
Sunday law and ordinance prohibiting the
lawful commerce and enjoy ment of innocent
pleasure on a certain day of the week as a
violation of these religious and political
rights, therefore be it
Resolced, That we believe it to be an in
herent and unalieLabl right CT every free
citizen TO dispose of his time as he sees fit,
in SO far as the lawful rights of no other per-
sons Infringed or violated thereby.
! ResolUed, That 1t is the duty Of every free
citizen to oppose, by petition or any other
lawful or peaceful means, any unjust legisla-
islation, and to try to have such laws repeal
| ed.
ResoIUed, That it is our opinion that the
man who has worked hard for six days in the
week, from morning till night. needs day Of
physical and mental recreation, which should
not be crippled by narrow-minded and intol
Grant bigotry.
Resolued, That the only claim upon the
rights and privileges of citizens of this repub
lie based upon the fact OF the citizenship
itself. and upon the fulfillment Of the duties
imposed upon all citizens by the constitution
and the laws of the land, aud that the hab
its and customs of emIgrants from Germany
France, Iceland, or any other foreign ooun
try are entitled to the same respect and priv
ileges in this country the native born citi
zen, provided they are not in opposition tC
the interest or the spirit of free republican
government
ResolUed, That we pledge ourselves not Il
support any person or parties that are in ia
yor of the full enforcement of the presen
Sunday ordinances.

The First sunday under the Test Oath in
Missouri.

The st. Louis Dispatch of Monday eve-
ming the 4th, has the following, in reference
to the first Sundays religious services under
the test oath of the new constitution of Mis-
souri,. Few of the clergy paid any attention
to it let now see whether the authorities
under the new constitution will have the tenn
Gritty to undertake to enforce the penalty
If they do, we predict there will be some in q.
teresting scenes enacted, which will live in
history but we think that the courage of
the valorous radicals. like that of Bob Acres,
will ooze out at their finger ends. The Dis
patch says;
The first days test of the test oath has
probably settled it forever By the terms of
the new constitution all ministers who have
not subscribed aud filed SAID OATH" were
prohibited to preach or teach yesterday
But yesterday, the churches in this city
were opened as usual, and In nearly all OF
them the accustomed service were held, Just
as though there was no oath In existence
In several churches, the ministers, with
scrupulous regard for the iniquitous law,
abstained from preaching and limited them
selves to going through the services of worsh-
ip according to ther respective liturgies In
Tue RfcdtcT however, serm Jus were
preached although the ministers had not
taken the oath. This was the case in all the
Catholic churches. the churches of the south
ern methodsts, and several of the presbyter-
ian churches. No allusiou was made to the
oath. that we can hear of, except by Rev.
DIR. Boyle, of the centenary methodist south
ern) church, who stated, in an incidental
way. that he had declined to take the prescri-
bed oath because to do so would have yielded
the principle of religious liberty. He had
taken 1t as condition of voting, but he
could not consent to do it a condition for
preaching In the congregational church, |
sermon was preached by Rev. E III. Bying-
ton, clergyman from Vermont, who had |
not taken the oath. though the new constitu- |
ton requires 1t of nonresident ministers as |
we'll as of resident ones.
Thus the test oath proves, ON the first day ]
of tsial, to be piece Of blunt thunder, 90

CatarrIl Cured.

They are treating Catarrh on a new system which
is Sure Cure for the Disease.
Experience ha- proved that Catarrh cannot be
cured by local treatment alone; hence the many
advertised Caarrh, all of which are loo al
remedies, give relief only while the patien
ing them, but never cure.
Understanding the disease, and we know it can
not be cured by local treatment alone, therefore
we also prescribe constitutional remedy to be
taken, and by the combined local and constitution
al treatment, we enabled to remove the cause
of Catarrh, and thereby effect
PERMANENT CURE.
Their consultations for years have averaged from
i've to seven thousand year, which gives them an
experience unsurpassed by any, and equalled on
ly by few.

stages of disease. While ali diseases are durable
If taken IN season, all stages are not. Your case
may be durable this week, Rot ne xt-to-day, not
