A Gay Time.

The white spirits and black, as
will be seen by our kilograms, have
been commingling in joyous rioting,
IN Washington, on the occasion of
the passage of the negro suffrage bill
IN the District of Columbia.
The people of the District, having
10 part Or lot III concocting or per-
fecting this iniquitous measure, are
to be pitied, and no doubt will suffer
from the imprudent conduct of these
new-made voters. AS to general DO
htics, this wholesale enfranchisement
of the negroes in the District, has no
influence whatever, except in SO far
as to show the rampant fanatical ami
mus Of the radical party in Congress.
If we are not mistaken, the members
of Congress will, ere long, be sorry
for this foolish enactment.

reported in the -Adcertiser, we find
the following:
United States Is. George W. Gayle.
Charged with completely in the as
sassination of President Lincoln.
Defendant applied for continuance
on the grounds of the necessary alb
sence of Governor Watts, one Of his
counsel. and pending application
to the President for Il pardon, which
Defendants counsel believe will be
granted. The court declined to grant
the motion for continuance on these
grounds, but consented to lay the
case over until this morning, when
defendants counsel will have the op-
portunity to show the absence of any
material witness as ground for con
tinuance.

Cen. Pickett's Pardon.

The substance of Gen. Grants
endorsement of Gen. Pickett's appi-
cation for pardon was given by tele-
graph day or two since. The fol-
lowing is Gen. Pickett's letter to
Gen. Grant, asking his favorable en-
dorsement on the application 1t
explains fully and satisfactorily the
circumstances unde' which were hung
several deserters;in North Carolina,
and about which the radical poll
ticiars have raised such hue and
cry:
"My object now, General, in pre-
senting this paper, is to ask your
favorable consideration of my case,
and that you will, if you believe in
my sincerity, for which 1 have
pledged you my honor as an officer
and a gentleman, put such an en-
dorsement upon it as will obtain
from his Excellency the President a
guarantee that 1 may be permitted to
live unmolested in my native State,
where I am now trying to make a
subsistence for my family, (much im-
poverished by the war; by tilling the
land. l acted simply as the general
commanding the department. Ger
tain men, deserters from North
Carolina regiment, were taken with
arms in their hands fighting against
the colors under which they had en-
listed. Charges were preferred against
them. a regularly organized court
martial was assembled of officers
from North Carolina, Georgia and
Virginia, before whom the men were
tried. The evidence in the case being
perfectly unmistakable the men being
identified by numbers of their old
regiment comrades, they were found
guilty and condemned to be hung.
The sentences were approved by me,
and they were duly executed accord
ing to the custom of war in like cases.
My action was sanctioned 10y the then
Confederate Government If the
time has not arrived for the Execu-
tive clcmency to be extended to my
case, and which point I am now
pressing, merely wish some assur-
ance that 1 will not be disturbed in
my endeavor to keep my family from
starvation, and that my parole, which
was given in good faith, may protect
me from the assaults of those persons
desirous of still keeping up the war,
which has ended, in my humble OPT
Mon, forever. Appealing to you as a
soldier, and feeling confident you will
appreciate my position, I sign my
self, with much esteem,
GEORGE i. PICKETT"

The Government has received a
communication from Santa Anna in
relation to Mexican affairs. The full
tenor of the letter has not transpired
publicly, but it is known that Santa
Anna protest against the contem-
plated action of the Administration so
far as the latter proposes protection
to the de facto Government of Mexico
as against Santa Anna, Ortega, or
other hlexicans who may choose to
contest the authority of Juarez. 1t
has also come out at Washington
that Santa Annna has planned and
contemplates an expidition into Mex
leo with the view of establishing a
Government in the Republic accord
ing to his peculiar opinions and inte-
rests.

From Washington.

Aspecial despatch to the Baltimore
.Sun says:
A despatch was received by Gen.
Grant, to-day, from Gen. Sheridan,
dated at New Orleans, yesterday.
Gen. Sheridan SAYS: photographed
you last evening of the good condi-
ton of affairs on the Rio Grande.
The act of Gen. Sedgewick gave rise
to no complications. In fact, Gen.
Escobedo called on me to ask me not
to hold him responsible for it. The
Canales faction having been sub
merged, [ was enabled to release
Gen. Ortega upon Escobedo promis-
ing that he would look out for him.
There is not Il city or State in Mexico
whi4h takes issue against Juarez' S
Government. On my return, / met
Gen. Sherman. at Brazos Santiago.
He had just come from Vera Cruz,
and was en- route with Mr.. Campbell,
for Matamoras.
A statement has been published
that our London Cousul had made a
settlement with Fraser, Trenholm &
Co., for Confederate property in pos
oCooAOi VI eu1o LII LII. i lcdIu 1IOu UuC
Government department here that
this act of the Consul at London has
been repudiated as unauthorized, and
made without the knowledge of our
Minister, Mr.. Adams, or Mr.. Dudley,
the Consul at Liverpool, who had
sole charge of the proceedings.
The motive for the settlement on
the part of Fraser, Trenholm & Co.,
undoubtedly, was to avoid the neces-
sity of answering in the suit of
chancery brought by Consul Dudley,
which would undoubtedly have dis
closed large amounts of Confederate
property in their hands.
TO respond in a reasonable time to
the resolution Of the House requiring
a statement Of the pardons issued,
the names of those who recommends
them, etc., it will become necessary
to make an appropriation to enable
the Attorney General to employ eight
or ten clerks in his Office. Even then
it is estimated that these eight or ten
extra clerks would find employment
for about a month. Some of the
cases are voluminous, and the peti-
ton of Albert Pike is cited as an
illustration of this fact. Mr.. Pike is
o Mason high up in the order, and
his pardon is recommended by most
of the leading Masonic lodges of the
country, and is signed by the officers
and members Of the several lodges.

lantic Cable was received on Tues
day morning, and this is said to be
the whole OF it, nearly:

France has not changed her resolu-
ton, but that upon military consider
ations, she has deemed it expedient to
substitute one comprehensive evacua-
ton for m evacuation in seperate
parts. All of o.r troops will leave

DISTRESS IN M1ss1sS1ppI.-A CORES
pondent VI ohe Memphis A0alanche
states that there are twenty thousand
dependent orphans and widows in
Mississippi who need immediate re-
lief. The more favored classes in the
State are doing what they can to re-
ieve the helpless sufferers but the
sad failure in the crops renders ade-
quate relief at home impracticable.
Aid from abroad is, therefore, indis-
pensable. The Orphans Home of
the State Of Mississippi, located at
Lauderdaie Springs, is doing noble
work for the poor sufferers. But more
than two hundred applications have
been made already for admittance to
the Home whose cases have been
postponed for want of means to feed
them.

To tie Editor of the Phenir.

Sur: The press is great, because it
gives free expression to the senti-
ment of the people. Through this
organ, we now offer a word to the
General Assembly. That body should
never forget that the people send
representatives to bear the burthen
of legislation-not to deal with agi-
tative clamors and shirk response
bility. The question beginning again
to stir its members has distracted us
for a long time. 1t begun under the
name of ".Say Looo," and has as
sumed various shapes, out has kept
one object in view since the end of
the war-repudiation Of debt or es-
cape from payment. Now, sir, it is
ingenious on the part of those en-
deavoring again to pass this law, to
give it the title of q ''Homstead
Bill''-to connect it thus with the
person and the home Of the unhappy
debtor, and to blind the intelligence
of our Legislators by sympathy If
the homestead bill, exempting 100
acres of land, besides dwelling house,
stock and provisions, applies only to
the future, it is narrow-minded and
detrimental to the subsequent ac-
tivity of our population. If it ap-
plies to the past, it is a robbery. The
Legislature may smile that one should
presume to contemplate such con-
struction upon its action; but the
past has taught us that the Constitu-
ton is no longer sacred, and simply
to say that an Act is an eodsi0n of the
Constitution, is but compliment to
the sagacity of it's enactors. We
must call it robbery. Put it il
plain terms: A party incurs debt;
whatever is his property is security
for the payment, and morally be-
longs to the creditor. An Act passed
subsequent to the formation of the
contract, and declaring that the Gre
ditor shall not have his legal claim
upon the security which induced
him to give the credit, robs that Gre
ditor of his property. 1t "deprires
him Of his property acithom DIE pro-
cess Of lac" and ''impairs Tie obliga-
ton Of a CONTRACT. 1 speak of the
words of our Constitution as well as
of its theory. ''Amd ,chatere'' didicm-
ties or inconreniences may attend kc
practice, 1 am ready TO maintuin that
as far as tie fact leciates from Tie
principle, SO fto' The practice IS cicious
and corvupt." The evidence is before
us, and is abundant. Scheming legis-
lation and avoidance of the constitu-
tionol law have distracted our bust
ness, caused our credit to sink far
below par, built up a barrier to repel
foreign capital, and, beyond all,
sanctioned moral fraud.

A NORTHERN NIEW.-Ihe repro
duction of the following article, from
a Northern journal, we trust will not
be considered us in bad taste. It
contains pointed historical fact or
two, as well as one or two other facts
of q suggestive character:
Charles Sumner, the apostle of ne
gro freedom, threatens that ''we will
correct the South if we have to rule
them by laws as severe as England
passed against the irish Catholics. :"
Notwithstanding the terrible and
bloody laws passed by England
against the Catholics of ireland, dur
ing the reigns of Henry VIII, Ed
ward VI, and Elizabeth, even to that
Of James l, not over sixty Irish en-
braced the Protestant religion in all
that long time, SO we are told by the
Able Gcoghegan, though Ireland
contained over 1000, 600 inhabitants.
That is an illustration of the benefit
of cruel laws. None but madmen or
fools ever attempted to correct tenn
per by cruelty. And, then, is it any
of our business what the temper Of
the South is? Under our Constitu-
ton, we cannot legislate to correct
temper" If we could, it would be a
blessed thing to pass an act to correct
the brutal temper of the radicals
in Congress. The only bad temper
shown anywhere in the United States
is here in the North; the only enc
mics to the restoration of the Union
are here.
