THE Congress which is urging and insist
ing upon constitutional restrictions in re-
gard to the Southern white people, pro-
Tess that much of what il demands is done
in behalf of the Southern blacks. Suppose
they impose heavy export duty on cotton,
have they ever stopped to think that the
hired negro laborer will feel its effects as
sensibly as his white employer? By as
much as the employers profits are reduced
by such tax, by just that much is the re-
turn Of the employees labor, be he white or
black, reduced The mad fools who suggest
such legislation must underrate the intelh-
gence of the black man if they they think
that in consideration for the privilege TO
vote, which they seek to give him, he will
be content to be pillaged at such a rate. If
they would reflect moment they would see
that the interests of both races, when both
are free, are mutual, and that, in regard to
such matters, they are equal. The deduc-
ton of half a dollar per day to the employee
is as heavy a burden as the deduction of
thousands per year to the employer. Bur
densome excise laws upon staples affect all
classes alike, and the laboring class viii be
the first 10 oppose them, for they feel it first.
Give the negro the ballot and tax him
until as a day laborer he cannot make a sup
port, and the ballot in his hands may do as
much mischief as ever the white mans bull
let did

THE CHOLERA CONFERENCES.

In the House of Commons, on TIE 11th
inst, Sir j. G. JERvOIsE asked the Under
Secretary for Foreign Affairs what progress
toward a settlement of the question had been
made since the objection was taken by the
English, Russian, Turkish and Persian re-
representatives. at the Cholera Conference,
Constantinople, to the proposal of the French
representative for the stoppage of all sea
communication between Arabia and Egypt,
and, for the presence of several vessels of war
in the Red Sea, in case of another epidemic
Mr.. LAYARD replied that the Conference
proposed by the representatives of nearly all
the European nations had assembled at Con-
stantinople to take into consideration the
spread of the cholera in the East. The
Conference had drawn up certain resolutions,
and when they were reduced to a conven-
ton Her Maiesty's Government would con-
slider them and say how far they could
adopt the recommendations of the Confer
ence, and what steps should be taken to car
~ them out. Her Maiesty's Government
were Of opinion that great evils were likely
to arise from the prohibition of the depar-
ture of pilgrims from Jeddo. So long as it
was known that cholera prevailed in Arabia,
Her Maiesty's Government had no objeec-
ton to the Turkish regulations for enforcing
quarantine in the Red Sea; but he strongly
deprecated the application to the pilgrims
of measures of exceptional severity. From
information he had received he believed
that since the Commissioners had been sent
to Arabia a considerable improvement had
taken place in Mecca, and that number of
the causes which had led to the propagation
of the cholera had been removed.

Has Il ever occurred TO the men who ad-
vocate the adoption of the constitutional
amendment as condition to restoration,
that they stultify and convict themselves of
a VIC lation Of the Constitution? If, as, the
Constitution now stands, the eleven excluded
States are entitled to admission, why are they
kept out2 What department of the Gov
ernment Legislative, executive, or judicial,
has the power % do so? Does not the at
tempt Of the Congressional party, by amend
ment of the Constitution, TO prescribe condi-
tions ofreadmission, clearly show that they
have no constitutional right now TO exclude?
If they have the power TO declare the terms
of restoration, what is the necessity for seek.
ing for more power?
Yet they have assumed all the power they
now ask in 4 constitutional amendment. and
none know better than they that their course
fertile past six months has been pure assump-
ton and usurpation. The Southern States
have RIGHT to their representation in

feet equality of rights. To view it in any
other light is TO make one-half Of this ma

ONE JOHN SMITH DYE, No. 100 Broad
way, New York, has written a work entitled
"a history of the Plots and Crimes of the
Great Conspiracy to Overthrow Liberty in
America" We know nothing of Dye be-
yond what he has given of himself in this
book, and this leads us to conclude that he
ought to die as penalty for writing it. If
written as a sensation, he is a wretched pam
der beneath contempt; if he put forth his
views with the hope that they would be be-
lieved, he is calumniator of the living
and the dead for whom no punishment has
yet been devised sufficiently ignominious
and torturing
He pretends to adduce facts and circum
stances to show that Southern statesmen
poisoned Presidents HARRISON, TAYLOR
and BUCHANAN, and contrived the assassina-
ton of President LINCOLN for political pur-
poses. The first was murdered because he
opposed the annexation of Texas, the second
because he would not connive at a disunion
scheme in 1850, the third was poisoned at
the National Hotel in 1857, because he was
feared to be unsound on the slavery inter
ests, the last was killed because he was the
head of the government which had defeated
the Southern ambition.
We are at loss to express the proper de-
testation for such a book and such an author.
1t is the first book he has written, and he
should be content with the infamy it will
give him. Let him wipe his pen.

HEAD CENTRE STEPHENS recently adj
dressed large assembly near Jones' Wood,
New York. He was very bitter over the
conduct of the ROBERTS leaders. He gave
O'NETL and SPEAR alone the credit of being
courageous, and sneered at the cowardice of
ROBERTS, who issued in New York belliger-
ent manifestoes, dated in Canada. While
expressing sympathy for the unfortunate vic
Tins of the raid, he hoped they would never
be entrapped again by designing politicians.
He warned his hearers that the American
people could not be dragged into war by
any party of Irishmen, and that the latter
were false to their oath of allegiance, and
disturbing the peaceful foreign relations of
their adopted country. The time might
come when America would choose to go to
war with England, but of this she would
give due warning.

THE Louisville Courier says that the Sc
nier Radical organ in Nashville gets very
mad because when the name of Col. w. b.
STOKES was sent to the White House re-
Gently for a brevet to Brigadier General
ship, the President promptly drew a black
mark over it. The "Organ" also takes oc-
casion to laud SToKEs's military achieve
ments during the war. WILLIAM was a
great warrior. We believe that it was Gen.
FoRREsT who once notified the military au-
thorities in Nashville that he was going to
attack the city; and that he wanted the
women and children and SroKEs's cavalry to
leave'-that he didn't fight non-combatants.
1t was about that time that the President
learned STOKES mi Itary caliber.

A VOICE FROM AFRICA.

From the daily organ of the Estate Equal
Rights League" (colored) we learn that the
National Equal Rights League will hold
its annual meeting in this city ON the 18th
of September next. At the meeting of the
first named body on Tuesday evening, the
TenneSseean, (colored), the Memphis Post and
the Nashville Press and Times were selected
to print the proceedings. Resolutions were
passed thanking the majority in Congress,
eulogizing the Governor of this State, ex-
horting the Legislature to pass the constitu-
tional amendment, and complimenting the
editors of the organs in this city. Messrs.
MAYNARD, FOWLER, STOKES, ARNELL,

share of praise. In an address in which
several caustic illusions are made to treach-
erous friends and tricky demagogues (the

the road from that city to Decatur, a work
of great interest to us as well as to them.
We regret, however, that they have subscrib-

previously recommended by a meeting of cit
zens. The action of the City Council has now

A VERY large meeting of the colored pop
ulation of Perry county, Alabama, was re-
Gently held, to respond to one previously
held by the whites at Manons, in that coun-
ty. The question under consideration was
the education of their children. Resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted expressing
the most pleasant feelings toward their for
mer owners; pressing the duty of the color
ed population to cultivate kindly relations
with the whites, and appointing a commit
tee to confer with a committee of whites,
relative to the improvement of their chill
dren and race, and pledging support with all
means in their power. Several of hespeak
ers, all colored, says an eye witness, spoke
in the most feeling manner Of their new re-
lations to the whites, and advised their col
ored friends that as they were now free to
act for themselves, ii was for them to decide
their own destiny. Every speaker express
ed preference for competent teachers from
their OWE midst.
We feel called upon to commend the good
sense of these freedmen. 1t is in happy
contrast with the action of some of their
brethren in this city, under the lead Of bad
or fanatical white men.

THE Washington Csroaioleadmits that ''the
Government ofthe United States and thepeo-
ple Of the North arc even more interested in
the production Of large crop Of cotton than
the planters of the South. This fact is at
once apparent If We reflect that a small crop
sells for as much money as a large one. A
full crop of five million bales would at once
reduce the price of the article 10 ten or
twelve-and-a-half cents per pound; wAile n
half crop Of two-and-a-half million bales
must infallibly keep up the price TO twenty
Eve cents. The planter therefore get their
two bundled and fifty or three hundred mil
lions, whether the crop be full one or only
the half Of it and in the latter case they in
cur less expense for labor, transportation,
and superintendence."

SANTA 'ANNA-BoMBAsT .AND:QUIx-

According to the Tribune, General Santa

Bank of England. He proposes TO estab-
lish new and stable government in Mex
leo, with constitution and laws, republic
can in form, wilL the Church for its mead
One of the essential conditions is however,
a complete assertion of principles and inter-

upon the following basis: The United
States to advance to him (Santa Anna) one
million Of dollars, and three thousand men,
in ret I'm for which he will swear eternal
gratitude to the American nation, and give
it in security certain Mexican provinces and
territories. The contract once sealed, Gen.
eral Santa Anna will Immediately start for
Macmillan, where his presence, his men
and his million will create quite an enthu-
siasm. According to his own statement,
the church will take him by the hand, the
army will PROSTATE itself at his feet, and the
best part of the Liberal party, renouncing
its present leaders, will form an intimate
alliance. As the Imperialists who stick to
Macmillan, not through love, but through
fear and eompulsion, they will be too happy
to place the Government under the protec-
ton of the General and to abandon cause

EINANCIAL.

The New York Tribune discourses as fol-
lows on the financial condition of the coun-
try:
Gold still futters between $50 and 100
at 1873 on Saturday-and no prospect of a
fall ! During the last six weeks we export
ed SAC, 389 1921 In other words we export
ed $4,000, 900 more of gold than we impor-
ted, with calming influences on the London
market perhaps, but with what influence on
America? The premium futtering toward
160 must answer.
In the meantime all business seems to be
chaos-chaos with double and single entry
Prudent merchants find it hard to buy at a
safe commission, or to sell at safe profit.
Shrewd money-dealers reap large gains,
and Wall street once more revels in war
delirium Of gold gambling. We hear of
combinations to affect the price of gold, to
put it up and put it down, to damage ma
tional credit to create a panic. The war
has been over for sixteen months, the coun-
try is gaining new strength, and yet our cur
rency, our commerce, our business, the laws
of trade, the rich mans negroes and the poor
mans loaf are still at the mercy of desperate
men who seek personal gain, no matter how
many suffer.
Where must this end? If we sail ship
above Niagara Falls, and steer direct for the
rapids, its logical fate is easily comprehend
ed. If we continue exporting gold at the
rate of $3.50, 000, 600 ysar, we know that a
Crisis must come.
