Where does it dwell? The Talla-
hassee F1or1dian has been informed
by the United States Assessor Of In
ternal Revenue in that region, that
'tmore gold watches have been re-
turned in the city of Tallahassee than
were returned in all New England. :"
The FEo7'ididn further stated that the
Assessor regarded it cas- an indica-
tion of the honesty of our people. ="
The Floridiaaa regards it as more,
and says:
cit indicates that it is safer now to
make public mention of such portable
property in Florida than it was in the
days OF Dow; that watches and like
valuables are more likely TO be lite
rally returned now, than immediately
before, or very Immediately after the
departure of Dow from the command
of that department. That fewer
watches should be reported for tax
alton in all New England than in the
city of Tallahassee is not surprising,
for the orthodox New England creed
recognizes UuG one TclaC1On between
the public authorities and private
property, that of protection, and ig-
nores everything that looks to assess
ment. If we remember, the assessors
were able to discover only some thirty
pianos in all New England, when
there is abundant evidence to show
that Dow 'confiscated' and shipped
North, on private account, more than
that number from Pensacola alone
These, evidently, were not returned
to the Assessors, and they are still
less likely to be returned to their
rightful owners. Dow considered
every piano the keynote to the re-
bellion,' and his savage onslaughts
upon musical instruments and baby
linen made his name terror ia the
nurseries and parlors of Pensacola :"

THE STATUS OF THE SOUTHERN
STATES TO BE TESTED BEFORE THE
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Gazette says:
The decision pronounced yester-
day by the Supreme Court has pro
duced a profound sensation in this
city. Independently of the vast i'm
portance of the matter decided, it is
regarded in Democratic and conser-
vativc circles as indicative of a
soundness upon Constitutional law of
the personnel of the Court, that gives
cheering evidence that that august
tribunal may be relied upon as a bar
rier against the meditated usurpations
of Congress. I have to-day heard it
suggested by very prominent and in
huential men that measures will
shortly be taken to test the status of
the unrepresented States before that
Court, and no doubt exists but that
the lawfulness of their present
organizations would be sustained.

CONFEDERATE Property IN EU-
RopE.-The telegram by the cable,
from Paris, relating to holders of
Confederate property, evidently re-
fers to a suit by the United States
Government against Lieut.. Armana,
builder OF Confederate men-o -of-war,
at Bordeaux, to recover to the use of
the United States the purchase money
for those vessels, which had been
paid him by the Confederate Govern
ment. The vessels were never deli
vered, owing to the interference OF
the French Emperor. Armana is now
held responsible to the United States
tor the money paid over to him by
Confederate agents.

New COUNTERFEIT GREENBACKs.
Two new counterfeit notes of the
greenback denomination have been
circulated in many.of our large cities.
We give the description of them
compared with the..genuine, in order
to put business men on their guard:
20s, imitation. Read on top Act
of March 3, 1868. The female in the
centre, with left hand resting on q
shield and right hand on a sword,
has the hand turned to the left and
the eyes looking in the same direc-
ton. In the genuine, the head is
turned the same, but the eyes are
looking front. The foot in the coun-
terfeit is distinctly seen, and counts
four toes; in the genuine, it is not
visible. On the reverse side, in the
words Omitted States of America, I"
the shading runs all through the let
ters; in the genuine, the letters are
shaded on the edge only, showing
white between.
5s of the issue of March 10, 1862.
The words Omitted States" when
compared with those of genuine
bill, have a scratchy appearance. In
general appearance, paper and print
ing, they are well calculated to de
ceive.

The SUPREME Court OF THE
UNITED STATES. readers have
been advised by telegraph that the
Supreme Court has decided that Con-
gress has no power to authorize the
trial of citizen not in the military
OF naval service by military court,
where and while the ordinary courts
of law are open and in operation.
The special Washington correspond
ent OF the Baltimore Gazette, in re-
ferring to this decision, says
''It will be seen that this decision
goes to the extent of rendering null
and void all convictions by military
courts and military commissions of
persons in civil life, necessarily in
Guiding even the prisoners at the Dry
Tortugas. Nor can the conviction
be easily dismissed that if this decis-
ion could have been made two years
earlier, the fate of some now beyond
the reach of legal remedy would have
been at least milder one."

NEARLY Row.-The Charlotte
IN: C.) Times, of Saturday, says:
A conflict between the civil and
military authorities occurred in Ra-
leigh, on Thursday. It seems that q
negro was convicted by the court,
there in session, and sentenced to be
whipped. Just as the sheriff was
about to carry it into execution, a
squad of soldiers appeared, armed
with Gen. Sickles' order, and inter
fered to prevent it. The citizens
became excited, and seemed willing
to back the sheriff, when a serious
difficulty would have occurred, but
Tor the timely appearance of B. f.
Moore, ESD, who addressed the
crowd, advising moderation and sub
mission to the order. This much we
learn from passenger. We will give
full particulars upon the receipt of
Raleigh papers.

SENSATIONAL New York He

SENSATIONAL The New York He
raid, OF Thursday, says:
Reports from Florida state that
officers and soldiers and civilians
from the North are subjected to many
prosecutions and annoyances on the
part Of the civil authorities. The
municipal authorities have frequently
arrested Gen. Fosters officers and
order4ies for fast riding, when they
were going no faster then n canter;
and when Foster protested against
such arrests, the Mayor made b.
answer. Foster then ordered him IL
cease making such arrests, and tele-
graphed to Gen. Sheridan to know if
he had done right. Sheridan referred
the matter to the President, who
directed that the civil authorities
should not be interferred with. Va
rious judicial outrages on negroes are
also reported.

Sunday Morning, December %, 1856.
Change in Southern sentiment.


The New York Times, like many
other Northern papers, laments the
great change in public sentiment at
the South. 1t agrees with the Louis
vile Journal, conceding that the feel
ing was less hostile to tho North for
months after the close of the war
than it is to-day.
1t is indeed mortifying state of
things that we are growing more
apart, and that, under the teachings
of partisans, whose rule and conse-
quence are derived only from the
misunderstanding of the people, the
public mind becomes daily more fe
verish and excited. The South will
not enact the Constitutional amend
ment. They will not consent to
brand themselves by branding those
whom they put forward in a great
struggle, honestly, though most mis-
takenly made.
The North ought not to exact this.
But, on the other hand, instead of a
generous policy, her people are dis
posed to insist that the South shall
not be permitted to gain by the re-
bellion, and if the negroes are en-
franchised, the representation of the
South is thereby increased two-ftths.
All this is mere fanatical, political
rhodomontade.
AS one of our cotemporaries says,
the South is impoverished to an ex-
tent that will require all it's energies
for years to come. It's interest is to
make the colored population cheer
full laborers, and to avoid social and
political agitations. If the radicals
would let the South alone, we believe
that interest and justice would secure
to the freed people all that they could
reasonably ask, and that the relation
of the two races would be harmoni-
Gus When one asked In spirit OF
kindness, and the other comedies in
the same spirit, than is possible
where concessions are enforced on
the whites by a third party, which,
at the same time, is encouraging the
freed peoples suspicious of injustice
and hostility.
Az we have repeatedly said, all the
Southern people desire now is to
prove their loyalty to the Govern
ment and their fidelity to the Consti-
tuition. Their whole course, for over
a year and half, proves this, and we
shall hail with satisfaction the day
when the people of the North will
appreciate the position and temper
of their fellow citizens South.

ID the Southern States where the late
postmasters fail to make return of
money and stamps in their hands at
the beginning of the war. Very few
of the old Offices in the Southern
States have thus far been re-opened,
and except where special application
is made, no more will be for some
time to come. During the present

were thus officially designated as dis
