Among the limited number OF white per-
sons who attended Fred. Douglass and his
colored companions on the occasion Of their
late visit to the President, was one CALVES
PEPPER. He was one Of the most ardent of
all the friends of the colored race, and
would stop at no sacrifice to do them sub
stantiaI' service He had devoted his life and
labors to their amelioration, Improvement
and elevation. His heart was wrung with
grief and bis soul filled with bitterness, at
the plain and unwelcome reply of the Presi-
dent TO The modest request for Executive in
reference TO compel the States 10 confer the
right Of suffrage upon the negro. But the
rebuff only intensified the degree of his love
and increased the zeal Of his efforts in their
behalf Broken and bowed in spirit, but stern
in resolve, CALVIN PEPPER threw his
arms around his man and brother"
and vowed, in tears, that he could never
rest till they should have votes and happi-
ness. He proposed to set up for them new
Liberia at home, on the Peninsula Of Eastern
Virginia To make this grand philanthropy
ic project successful, required small adj
vance Of national currency. He called for
contributions, and received literally. The
"colored friends were in transports, with
the delightful future that awaited them
through the benevolent friendship Of their
patron. They begin to adore him, as he had
all along adored them.
But human joys are heeting; and we are
sorry that this remark is as true of the
black as of the white branch of mankind.
In the midst of the present happiness, and
that exhaustless store of the soon-coming
bliss Of the Peninsula, Mr.. CALVIN PEPPER
was arrested by order Of Gen. Terry,
commanding at Richmond, Virginia,
for swindling his friends-and misery took
the seats and places lately SO happy. His
commission as a philanthropist was taken
away from him and destroyed. He was
ordered to refund and turn over the money
collected by him and his coadjutors, TO some
one appointed to receive it. Thus ends the
career of honest and virtuous PEPPER-and
SO vanishes from the sight of the negro the
bright visions of the Peninsula home, and
the money which was to secure it.
How many Peppers there are yet roam
ing the Southern States, first deceiving and
then robbing the negro, there be none can
they should heed. They take many shapes
but all for the same end. Let the negro
beware of them.

A NORTHERN paper says that Southern

class houses have lately been purchased by
Southerners, who say they made fortunes
during the war, and have come North to

kind of Southerners" these are who made
money during the war, to have now moved

THE RECENT TENNESSEE ELECTION.

The following paragraphs from an article
in the Cincinnati CommerciGl-an out and
out Republican paper shows the light in
which the recent elections in this State must
necessarily be viewed, by every one having
particle of fairness
II is TO be borne in mind that the election took
place under the existing law of franchise. which
is extremely rigid in It's provisions, and denies the
ballot 10 reconstructed rebels. With what strict
ness this law enforced of course do not
know. If IL shall appear that none but those
titled to vote under this law did so, the conclusion
will be irresistible that the Union men Of the

bellion, averse 10 the political distTRnohiSe-
ment of their neighbOrs who went of with lsham

districts in which special elections have been held.

THE Cincinnati Gazette SAYS that at the
election on Saturday in this city, Judge Nc
BRIEN was defeated by over 1900 majority.
1t further says that the franchise law was
enforced in one Ward only, and that the
Union ticket was elected. The Gazette is as
ignorant of the facts of the election as it is of
the name of the candidate. But it doesn't
matter, any statement is good enough if it
contains a SANDER upon the friends of the
Constitution and the supporters Of President
johnson in Tennessee.

Universal Amnesty.

Even the New York Times is opposed to
universal amnesty. The last Times says:
The abstract question of right in rela-
tion to the amnesty power is of slight mo-
ment in the present connection. Whether the
power to proclaim wholesale pardon pc
longs unrestrictedly to the President, or un-
der certain conditions belongs to Congress,
is for the nonce an immaterial consideration
The real point to be attended to IS, would
the proclamation of a universal amnesty by
the President be a wise proceeding? Would
it be productive of good or harm2 Would
it promote the interests of the country, fur
ther the ends of the President, and hasten
the solution of the grave problem of restora-
ton? On the ground of its inexpediency,
We deprecate any further action by the Pres
idcnt in the direction of an amnesty In the
first place, it is certain that the loyal people
of the nation would not tolerate declaration
of entire immunity in favor of the active,
guiding spirits ofthe rebellion. There is no
strong desire anywhere tor vindictive pun
desire to despoil, to hang, or to
Danish even the rebel leaders. But there is
fixed and controlling resolve to exclude from
in the honors and emoluments
of Office the men who planed the rebellion,
and so made themselves responsible for its
In the next place, it is at least
probable that any step of the kind taken by
the President on the eve of the meeting of
Congress would be regarded by that body as
a Challenges wanton, causeless provocation
which it would promptly resent, and re-
sent, too. in a manner most injurious to the
yery classes whom the World is anxious to
serve"
The tri-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1866-1868, 1866-12-01

they differ, Mr.. Quincy says, "a train car
rying 900 tuns offreight or passengers could
be run between Boston and Albany at a net
cost of $3.50 5O.'' The charges on this road
are 81 per tun, or 81 400 for one train of 200
tuns of freight, or $4,000 for passengers, at
So each. In the evidence appended to the
legislative report appears the fact that freight
is carried from Western cities to the seaboard,
a distance of LOO miles, at a charge of $40
per tun to the shipper. This is less than one
cent per tun per mile, which is a paying rate,
and profitable to the carrier. The charges,
therefore, between Boston and Albany should
be reduced from 81 to So per tun; and In or
der to accomplish this, and corresponding
reduction in passenger fares, Mr.. Quincy
proposes that the State shall as provided Eor
in the charters, purchase the connecting lines
between Boston and Albany, reduce the seed
ule of pr ices to one-sixth of the present rates
and place the management of the roads in
the control of the Boston Board of Trade
If it be true, as asserted by Mr.. Gait, an
experienced railroad manager in England,
that passenger can be conveyed 100 miles
at cost of cents, certainly the people IN
this country are most outrageously taxed Tor
the support of monopolies. Ii for 10 cents
passenger can be conveyed from Boston to
Albany, and for 55 cents to Chicago, the
charge of 80 times these sums will not long
be endured by the people.
1t is undoubtedly true that low rates OF
transportation increase trade and promote the
growth of population and wealth, and is. at
the same time profitable to the public carri-
er The action ofthe people and Legislature
of Massachusetts, should stimulate investiga-
ton in other States, so that, if possible, the
burden that hangs like milestone on the
necks ofpeop:e and communities distant from
commercial centers may be speedily removed
by appropriate legislation.-Neso York 1ri-

Curious Relics from the Swiss Lakes

At meeting of the Connec lieut. Histori-
cal Society, last evening, were exhibited
some articles found in the bottom of one of
the Swiss lakes, relics of an ancien. people
who dwclt on piles out in the water. These
things were procured at Zurich by the late
Mrs Mary G. Booth, and have recently been
presented to Trinity College
In January, 1854, the waters of Lake Zu-
rich, fell lower than had ever before been
known, the season having been unusual dry
ness, and the opportunity was made use of
by the inhabitants of Obermcilen to make re-
pairs on its banks. Under depth ola foot
and half of mud was a layer of blackish
mould, in which were found implements of
stone, bone, horn, bronze and iron, debris of
pottery &c. the remains of piles We're also
found in regular rows, from one to two feet
apart. Close examination by DR.. Keller,
President of the Swiss Antiquarian Society,
satisfied him that these piles had supported
a platform Z; that on this platform huts had
been raised and that after being thus occu-
pied, probably for centuries, the structure
been destroyed by fire. The huts, it would
seem, were for the most part circularin shape,
measuring from 10 to Is feet in diameter :;
they were of wattles, plastered with clay,
masses of which, hardened by fire. still bear
ing the marks received from the wattles when
