WHRT DOES IT MEAN?-The South is at
this moment in the most profound quiet and
repose. There is not a rebel In arms; there
is not Union soldier necessary to preserve
order in any part of the Southern States:
there absolutely is nota ripple left to show
where the great ship of the Confederacy
sunk and sunk forever. Yet. at Radical
meetings, the proposition to march slaugh-
tering. burning and eonfscating columns
into this peaceful and unresisting country
is received with uprOarious applause. In
the name of humanity, justice, civilization,
what does all this mean?---Bab Transcript.

THE CONVENTION OF COLORED
CHURCHES AT SAVANNAH.

There is convention of the colored churches
of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
and Florida, in session at Savannah, presided
over by Bishop PAYNE, of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church, a Southern born mu-
latto The Rev w. WYNN, one of the lead
ing clergymen of Savannah, has given to
General STEEDMAN, the most favorable &C
count of their deliberations, stating that the
kindliest feeling prevails, and that they have
passed resolutions affirming that if they were
left alone, they could get along with the peo-
pie of the South with the utmost harmony,
and condemning in strong terms, the radical
action Of some Of the Northern churches.
The declaration made by the representa-
tives of this body, is entirely in harmony
with our own knowledge of the feelings
which exist between the intelligent freedmen
and their former masters. 1t is only when
disturbing elements have been introduced,
that this kindly feeling has ever been inter
rupted.
If left to ourselves, we would be able to ad-
just our new relations to the freedmen upon
an equitable basis; and the sooner they get
rid of their professed friends, the better.
There is a very simple test for the regard
Of these people.
Do they require money Let that ques-
ton be asked, and when their devotion is sta
ted in dollars and cents, then the freedmen
may be sure that there is something more
at the bottom of the scheme than love for
them, or benevolent anxiety to advance
their interests
We quote the declarations ofthis Conven-
ton with peculiar pleasure, as evidence of
the sound sense and good feeling of its mem
bers and we see in their action the promise
of much future good.
They are undoubtedly right If cleft alone,
they could get along with the people of the
South, with the utmost harmony" but while
people insist on using them as pawns on the
party chess board, they must suffer to some
extent. Let them remember that the test of
benevolence is its disinterestedness Let them
count their money over, before they pay it out
for the assistance of their so-called friends
Let them look to it, that the "ebony idor' is
not converted into the golden calf"

FOREIGN NEWS.

The Pfovincidle Correspondent, of Berlin,
in announcing the mobilization of the entire
Prussian army, says the nation may be assured
that the Government is willing to maintain
peace if it can be done with honor, and due
regard to the Prussian interests; but it has
resolved that it must act in forcible and de-
cided manner to maintain those interests
1t is stated that Prussia, in reply to the
Austrian despatch of May 4th, relative to the
Duchies, expressed willingness to enter into
fresh negotiations upon another basis
Another statement is that Bismarck had de-
clared to the Austrian Ambassador that he
would only accept the solution of the question
of the Duchies from German Parliament.
The Bavarian Government had ordered the
immediate mobilization of the entire Bavarian
army 9l Naeii3e G@E& ss

SENSIBLE, BUT UNsYMPATH-
ETC.

The destruction of the Academy of Music,
further particulars of which we publish in
another column, has given rise to most SEN
sible suggestion on the part of the Herald,
which wisely insists that places of public
amusement should be required by law to be
of fire proof material.
There can be no doubt that this great con-
flagration, had it occurred half an hour earlier,
would have been attended with the most
frightful loss of life.
We all know what terrible scene occurred
at the Richmond Theatre, and the horrors of
that night would have been intensified in the
Academy of Music, had the flames gained
Roadway while the audience was in the build
ing.
But with the good sense of this suggestion,
the Herald blends very little magnanimity.
There was bitter war between that jour
nal and MARETzEK, for whose misfortune, a
word of decent sympathy might have been
expressed. But far from any generosity of
expression, it declares that the Academy has
never produced fine singers, and has only in
jured the voices of the "artists who have
sung there" This is broad statement,
which finds its contradiction in the fame of
FoRMEs, PATTI, BR1eNoLI, PIccoLoM1NI, and
Madame GAzzANEaA, who sang there ON the
night of the fire. -
But the great city of New York, where
pleasure has been erected into divinity, and
the Epicurian philosophers is cultivated by
people in bob-tail coats and stove-pipe hats,
will soon raise facade and foyer from the
present wreck. The great singers, in the
meantime, will break up into troops we pre-
sumo, and honor the benighted provice with
their presence, until such time as new and
more sumptuous walls can be, constructed for
them + 4i" sA
We trust that the principles of acoustics
may be observed in the new building; that
the architecture may be graceful; the frescoes
gorgeous, and, finally, that if it should burn
down in turn, that we shall not have to
chronicle the melancholy fact that any of the
gallant Fire Department" have met death in
the discharge of duty, as unhappily was the
case in this instance

THE TIME To STRIKE.

1t is said to be an i'll wind which blows no
body any good, and much as We may lament
the present aspect of affairs in Europe, we can
not avoid seeing that the people of the South
may reap very substantial advantage from
the imbrogliO which now engages the attention
of continental statesmen.
The fear of a general war will stimulate
emigration from the old world immensely
Thousands will pour across the Atlantic in
search of peaceful homes. This continent will
be alive with people who but for the present
pretty quarrel" would have been content to
live and die on brown bread and thin wine.
Nor is this all, the pressure of population on
subsistence, in England. has already become
heavy. The number of farms which have
been converted into sheep walks and cattle
ranges is immense, and the small farmer-the
man of intelligence and substance, is-accord-
ing to Mr.. GLADSTONE, rapidly disappearing.
Where do all these people turn? By ma
tural instinct they seek the fat fields of Amer
lea. Where are there richer lands than in Vir-
ginia Where greater diversity of soil /? We
grow wheat, corn, tobacco, and the miner OF
Cornwall can find lighter and more remunera-
tive labor here Let us seize the opportunity.
The people of the Valley are moving.
They have announced that they intend to
send an agent abroad: Can't we do the same?
We have grand charter but the charter
lacks money. Is it not possible to obtain it
Will property holders never realize the fact
that on this scheme-the scheme of introdu-
cling labor through this port-ther future
depends Can we not see that direct trade

acknowledgements on this ?

EUROPEAN POLICY AND AMERI-
CAN SECURITIES.

The Emperor of the French has recently
made speech to the Mayor of Auxerre, which
is regarded as significant of his intention to
back Prussia and Italy in their supposed de-
signs against Austria.
His language is significant, for he declares
his detestation for the treaties Of 1915; but
"a these treaties have been trampled on more
than once, his meaning becomes plain enough.
Prussia will get the spois of the Danish war
Italy will have Venetia restored, and her ter
ritora integrity completed. France will man
age to extend her frontiers. The whole con-
tiuent resounds with the clang of arms and
the tramp of soldiers.
From the Baltic to the Golden Horn; from
the Thames to the Danube, there comes the
hum of excited preparation
In this attitude of affairs the position OF
Russia becomes matter of some interest. We
all remember that Austria disappointed the
Muscovite during the Crimean war; but self
interest has more to do with governmental
policy, as rule, than sentiment. Hence it
is, that we are disposed to attach, as already
intimated by US, great importance to the visit
of Baron STOCKED to Senior ROMERO.
1t is difficult to understand this recognition
of the Mexican Envoy, unless on the hypo-
thesis that Russia has determined to exert her.
self to preserve the "balance of power" 80
called. What is the memory of Austria's de-
sertion in the Crimean struggle, in compare
son to the hope that Europe may some day
become "all Cessack."
The south gate of Moscow, over which that
historic inscription, pointing the road to Con-
stantinople, once blazed, is still open; and
Russian policy looks more to the compression,
if it be possible, of France, than to any other
object This will be no easy task. The
prodigious energies of France are seeking new
fields Of enterprise, and the great man who
yields at once, the sceptre OF Emperor and
the baton of Marshal, can not be driven from
his line of policy That policy is expansive.
This, also, is the rule Of action which governs
Russia. Sooner or later, these antagonistic
ideas must seek the last solution-the "altima
TUaO TeydW
But whatever value may attach to these
speeulations one thing is very apparent, that
terrible war is now pending in Europe.
With our own bitter experience, we can but
lament this; and in another sphere might
moralize over the mournful picture.
But, the practical question is, how will this
state of affairs affect ns Tt ie almost certain
to bring back all our foreign securities Bank
ers and capitalists, who desire to save their
credit and maintain their positions, will rea-
lie their securities. Seeing this, the New
York Tribune says we shall have "chance
to repurchase some of the bonds they bought
of us" lat very low prices,l
We think the "chance' may be set down
as certainty; but we confess that we cannot
very well comprehend how the remedy of
"high tariff" suggested by the philosopher,
can do much towards alternating the stress
upon the money market, which he seems to
apprehend. ID
