Forgery.

An elderly man, of fine address and gentlemanIy
exterior, visited, Thursday evening, the store of
Mr.. Day. Levi, No. 247 Rampant street. After en-
gaging the storekeeper in conversation and ex-
amining the quality of goods offered for sale, he
selected articles of clothing to the amount Of
forty-two dollars, and presented in payment a
check on the Canal Bank for eighty-one dollars,
purporting to be drawn BY our well known fellow
citizen, Christian Roselius. The unsuspecting
storekeeper never thought to inquire as to the
character Of the check, but at once accepted it
and returned the change, amounting to thirty-nine
dollars, with many thanks for Lis custom, hoping
he would call again, at the same time bowing the
polite stranger to the door. Shortly after bank
hours next morning Mr.. Levi visited the Canal
Bank, and was considerably disgusted and not a
little surprised, when, after presenting his check
for eighty one dollars he was informed thatitwas
a forgery. He at once repaired to the office Of
the chief of police and laid the case before him
number of officers were Immediately set upol
the track of the supposed perpetrator of thi
deed, but with what success we have not ye
learned.

of the Second District police, arrested and locked
up yesterday thirty-fve women-white and

clears out one of the most d1sreputable neighbor-
hoods in the city-that on St. Peter and Toulouse
streets, between Dauphne and Burgundy. We un-
derstand thar other neighborhoods will be visited
to-day, and general clearing out be made. Ii
has long been crying shame that those local
ties should have been abandoned to such charac
ters when honest people were forced to live mile!
off from their business on account of the scarcity
of house rent. If such characters will live in the
city, they should be forced to the suburbs and mo-
cumber up the best streets and occupy eligible
residences to the exclusion of honest people.

" The MEAN WHITES OF THE SOUTH. &c Among
the Guerrllas" " is the title Of book just pub
lished in New York, and written by one Edmund
Kirke. The book is complimented by William
Cullen Bryant, the poet and New York Evening
Post editor. The following extract will suffice to
show the character of the publication, and the
sort of stuff upon which the fanatics, of whom
Greeley and Bryant are representative men, are
fed. In all the range of literature there is not
more infamous libel. Human malice and men
dacity can no further go. This is the morsel:
| The " Mean Whites s"-They are totally desti-
tute of morals and religion, and live in open viola
ton of almost all laws, human and Divine.
Fathers cohabt with daughters, brothers with sis.
just as they would their jack knives or their rusty
rifles. Many of them never heard of the bible
and few know there is q world beyond this, anC
that the lives We live here determine the lives We
shall enter upon hereafter. On all this broad eartf
| there is not class of white people SO ignOran
and so degraded as they are; and all their ignOr
anee and degradation has been brought about by
the chvalry," who have deprived them o
schools, and kept them in mental and moral dark
ness, that they might make them servile tools anC
| pliant instruments of their reckless and wicked
| ambition.
The class is not large, and it is well it is not
for if it were, the thorough reconstruction ant
regeneration of the South would be things whicl
the youngest of you might not live to see, so ia
away would it be in the very dim distance 1t Ii
impossible to estimate their number with any ex
actness there being no sufficient data on which t.
found reckoning; but the opinion of those bes
informed on the subject and long observation il
all parts of the South, have led me to the conclu
sion that it cannot exceed q million.

THE BRITISH RADICALS AND THB BRITISH GOV
ERENENT.-It is to the credit of Mr.. John Stuart
Mill and other respectable leaders of the British
liberal party, that they have Tepudiated the effort
of Mr.. Bright and hisfriends to make base profit
for the radical cause in England out of the candor
and honesty of the tory home minister, Mr. Spen-
Ger Welpole.
The chiefs of the London reform league, meanly
misrepresenting a conversation which they had
held with the home secretary after the recent riot
| in HYDE Park, undertook to convey the impress
sion that the government had been cOwed into
cOneeding permission for at least one meeting
of the people" in that place.
Mr. Walpole, however, was not "put down
by this assumption, but, rising in his place IN Par-
Gament in few clear, temperate, but resoute
sentences, explained the facts in the case, ex-
sleaguers" )" and declared his intention OF meeting
any attempt to hold any political assembly IN
HYDE Park with all the force necessary to main
tain the dignity of the government and the public
order Mr. Mill at once, speaking for the Liberals
of character rose and recognized the propriety OF
Mr. Walpoei 8 position; and another liberal menl-
ber wrote to the league to say that if any attempt
Z was made to hold such meeting as was proposed
he should withdraw his subscription 70 VI

Intelligence to the many friends of that excellent

The serious illness of Mr.. Evelyn, editor and

take its stand beside the best periodicals in
the land
The September number will be ready for de-
livery by the 25th inst. and the succeeding num-
bers by the 20th Of each month. As it will take

| spectfuy solicited to write to Vim. R. Smith &
Co., Raleigh, N. c., for this month only, stating
how many copies they could probably dispose OF
| if furnished to them. A very liberal commission
will be allowed on all trade sales An entirely
new publishing house will he opened in New Or
| leans at the earliest possible mOment-oue large
enough to issue any number of magazines tina
may be required, and to secure the permanencJ
of the work.
Upon its merits alone the Crescent Monthly
is presented to the public, and, if found worthy
the true friends of literature, North and South arr
solicited to use their personal influence in extend
ing its circulation. wM. EVELYN & CO.,

MOL Pros. In the Case of a OonventIOnist.
A noue prosequi was entered yesterday before
Mr.. Mckay, representing the attorney general, in
the case of Mr.. John Payne member of the de-
funct convention of '64. In an "explanation to
his friends and the pubic,'' promulgated through
the press few days ago, and on which the noNe
prosequi is predicated, he repudiates any inten
tion of participating in any revolutionary measure
He asserts that &" the secret plots and schemes
of those malcontents were never disclosed to him
and any connection with the criminal acts of the
prominent leaders of this organization, whose
purpose was to subvert all law and government
mixing the freedmen in their efforts to ESTABLISH
their supremacy, he denounces and utterly repu
dates from this time forth. Mr.. Payne confessed
himself misguided in his judgment, and We have
no doubt is glad to blot out all connection witt
the unlawful assembly" of conyentionists.
