Plot To BREAK JAIL.-A plot was ar
ranged amongst the prisoners in the county
Jail on Saturday, by which they aimed to
escape in a body from "durance vile" The
plan was to seize and murder Mr.. B. NJ.
WILLIFoRD, sheriff, when he entered the
Jail, and then make bold rush for the out
side, depending upon their numbers to en-
able them to overcome the guard and
escape. They were incensed at the sheriff
because he had compelled them to discon-
time the method which had been adopted
among them of initiating fresh fish"
On Saturday the sheriff was entering the
prison, and had descended half way the lad
der leading to the room where the prisoners
were confined, when the plot was revealed
to him by a negro who had obstinately re-
fused to enter into the conspiracy The
warning was just in time to save the life of
Mr.. WrLLIFoRD, and prevent the escape of
this band of savage, desperate men. There
were four men in the prison who refused to
take part in the proposed violence. One of
them was young STRAUN, who was lately
committed for the murder of WEBB an
other was the negro who gave the informa-
ton; the names of the other two we have
forgotten.
Inc conspralors, eighteen IN NUMBER,
have all been put in irons, and the three
leaders in the mutiny have been chained to
the floor, The public may congratulate it
self that for the present these men are be-
yond the reach of doing harm, and are only
likely to escape confinement through the or
binary process of law.
We understand that the principal leader
in the affair was the negro SNATCH, who
was recently committed for defrauding the
proprietors of the National Hotel and 9TH
ers. He is bold, bad negro, with ingenui-
ty and cunning enough to become an ex-
IRENE annoyance to a COMMUNICATIONS

THE RADICAL C0UP D'ETAT.

The gross and systematic violations of the
essential principles of republican institutions,
by the present Congress, eliminated few
days ago, in the proposition-to amend the
Constitution--the terms of which have
already been given to our readers. The
next step was to procure its ratification by
the Legislatures of three-fourths of the
States. To accomplish this, Gov. CURTIN,
Of Pennsylvania, who has repeatedly an
nounced his determination to retire from
public life, was selected to urge upon the
Governors of the "loyal" States to con-
vene their respective Legislatures to ratify
the action of Congress. He has done So
and the response has been prompt and COM
plant from all, not even excepting or own.
The truth is, that CHARLES SUMNER, of
the Senate, and THADDEUs STEVENS, of the
House, have, through their appropriate in
struments and tools, marked ont and plan
ned the entire scheme for perpetuatng dis
cord and preventing the consummation Of
every patriotic hope, that of restoring the
Government TO its ancient status and the
people TO their inalienablo" rights and
liberties Having carried it through salts
factorily in Congress, they are now using
their tools in the States, with every pros
pect of entire success. Our own estimable
and patriotic Governor falls into the work
with promptness and cheerfulness, which
will excite the admiration, if not the envy of
the iercest and bitterest of his extreme dis
union compatriots. He cannot see very far
into the business; but as far as he does he
goes the whole figure unreservedly. The
Legislature may have some qualms upon
the subject, for there il scarcely PROPOSE
ton in the amendments that has not re-
ceived their deliberate condemnation by
solemn vote These may be easily over
come since the crack Of the Congressional
whip has never failed to bring them down
TO their work in the most energetic and
tractablc wheel-hOrsc style. We cannot say
that we have any positive repugnance to
this subseryience-for the reason that if the
country rs 20 become pure ana avoWed
despotism, our loyal representatives will
have become used to the yoke, and can in
struct ms in the art and duty of implicit sub
mission and teach MS how 10 make bricks
without straw, still turning our faces with
devoted affection to our supreme temporal
ruler, and to the gracious task-masters placed
over us. On the contrary, if we are TO con-
time a free and selfgoverning people those
who are now aiding 10 overthrow public jus
tice and liberty, are only heaping up fag-
gots for the fire which will soon consume
them Let them be piled high, for when
the public indignation reaches it, there will
be bonfire that will wake to ecstacy the
disembodied spirits of the heroes Of &c.

THE BLACK SHEEP IN THE SOUTH
ERS FOLD.

4 correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
nereidL received from gentleman connected
with the Post Office Department at Wash
ington, who had just returned from
lengthy tour in the South, the following:
"While in New Orleans he made the ac-
quaintance Of an ex-COnfederate officer, in
whose company he soon after entered one of
the fashionable restaurants of the Crescent
City. Observing a card with the words
Our own Southern Bitters' conspicuously
printed on it, and abiding to it, he said to
his new made friend, why do you try in
this way, even in such place as this, to
perpetuate the memory of the war? The
ex-rebel smiled and replied Really, /
don't like such things, and though that is
but trifie, | would not have even il dis
played so, if | could have my way. But
that is the device of a New England man,
and the Southern Bitters are made and
labelled in New England, and the keeper of
this saloon is 4 Yankee, who came here
since the war, and is about the only man in
New Orleans who is not subiugated, as your
people call it, and says he can't be subiu-
gated. If we took his advice, we would
raise another rebellion Tomorrow
RAISING by bookstore somestlme after,
with the same officer, my informant saw a
large picture of SToNEwALL JACKSON draped
in mourning, with some heroic motto printed
underneath it, and he remarked There's
more of it. These are the things they mag
nifty to your disadvantage in the North
Well said the ex-rebel, that's another of
your own sort. The owner of that store is a
Yankee, who never trod the sod of the South
until the war was over. He's what you'd
call the worst kind of a traitor now Such
men come here and they think by appealing
to the passions created by the war; they can
drive big business. They succeed very
often, because our people are easily excited
by such things, for they cannot forget STONE
WALL JACKSON, even when he is put before
them in the form of Yankee trick like this
Other illustrations 20 the same point might
be given, all tending to show first, that the
feeling of the Southern people toward the
Government is grossly miSrepresented in the
postponement of the day of restoration;
and, second, that Northern men are, to a
great extent, responsible for whatever of
bitterness toward the Government exists in
the South"
All the parties to these statements, and
their publication, are Republicans.

FINANCIAL SITUATION ABRoAD.-The
moral certainty that a great Continental war
is now inevitable, seems to have had much
less pGnicky influence in the London money
market than might have been reasonably
anticipated. The truth is, Lombard street
was never very sanguine of the ability of
the Paris Conference, even if it had met, to
avert hostilities Conscls and American
stocks are a trifle down, it is true, but the
general feeling seems to be such as to show
that, in commercial parlanee, the certainty
of war has already been discounted. The
heavy arrivals of gold from this side, with
the knowledge that additional large amounts
were on the way, naturally helped to steady
the money market and keep down the rate
of discount. Some of the London journals,
we see, are confidently calculating that
should hostilities at once break out, British
Government securities must inevitably adj
vance in price, owing to the increase of con-
tinental investment. These calculations are
probably correct, We may add, they
apply with equal, if not superior force, to
American securities.-N. Y Express.

SLAVE TRADE REVIVED BY THE FREED
MEMS BUREAU AGENTs.-''P. w. A." in 4
letter to the New York Ners, from Thomas

the negro President of the Council of the

sEY, indicted for the hanging Of c. A.
HAUN, in 1861, was com menced yesterday,
(Monday)
1t viii be remembered that Mr.. HAUN
was tried by Court Martial in 1861, for al
legged connection with the burning of the
bridges on the line of the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad. The defendants
were members of the court that tried

empannelling the jury maintained that there
being four defendants, each had the right to
the usual number of peremptory challenges,
which was allowed by the Court after some
discussion.

allow the Attorney General four times the
usual number of challenges-ten for each
defendant-to which the counsel for the de-
Tense took exception.
The following are the names of the jurors:

THE FOURTH OF JULY.-Gov. BRowNLow
has issued an announcement for the celebra-
ton of this time-honored, natal day of
American liberty. The chief attraction will
be the assembling of the Legislature to sign
away portion ofthe rights and Liberties Sc
cured to us by our forefathers, the trials and
sacrifices for which were inaugurated on that
day. We know of nothing that would be
more appropriate to illustrate the Radical
notion Of equality, fraternity and Union
We trust the members will be here in ample
time to complete their work before dinner,
and that they may be prepared TO leave
early next morning. Since there will be no
need Of consideration or discussion, there
will be no occasion for a moments delay.
Congress wants rotes from State Legislatures
the talking they want dispensed with.
