4 COLONY OF NEGROES SENT OuT BY
THE UNITED STATES ''CoMETo GRIEF"
The expectation of 433 freed negroes,
in 1862, to the Isle A'Vache, Hayti,
will be remembered by our readers.
Congress had made an appropriation
the previous year for colonization,
and placed it in the hands of Mr..
Lincoln. In April, 1868, Messrs
Paul S. Forbes and Charles X.
Tuckerman made Il contract with
Secretary Usher for the deportation
of such colonists at fifty dollars each.
The enterprise was failure; its
specifications, SO far rs guarantee of
Il support for five years from the
Haytien Government was concerned,
could not be fulfilled; the emigrants
became dissatisfied, and finally re-
fused all overturcs for contracts for
labor, and were eventually brought
back, after some delay, Mt much
expense.
On Tuesday, in the Senate, peti-
tion was presented by Mr.. Tucker
man for the appropriation of the sum
agreed upon with an equitable al
lowance for expenses of delay and
return of colonists, made necessary
by circumstances beyond control of
the contractors. lie gives an account
of the cost of the expedition, which
foots up the rouru sum of $50, ,000
He states that Il reimbursement of
the expenses of transportation has
not yet been made to them, because
of the inability of the Haytien Go
vernment to comply with one of the
requirements of the contract-that
the Haytien Government was required
to furnish guarantee that these
cmigrants should not, for period of
five years, come to want-and this the
authorities declined on the ground
that special legislation would be re-
quired, and that such discrimination
on behalf of special class would
probably cause jealousy and blood
shed, and certainly would lead to
disastrous results"

IMPORTANT TO HOTEL KEEPERS.

IMPORTANT TO HOTEL KEEPERS. r.
An important case has just been id
cided in the New York courts relativ
to the liability of guests to hotel pro
prietors. It appeared in evidence
that Mrs. Lingman had remained at
the hotel kept by Mr.. George H.
Hunt for about two weeks, and during
that time incurred bill of $50. 60.
She left the hotel without paying her
bill, leaving there her trunks. which,
with the contents, was valued at over
500, and this trunk was held by Mr..
Hunt as q security for the BILL After
while, however, writ of possession
was issned in the case, and the trunk
with it's contents was taken from Mr..
Hunt and delivered to the claimant
In his decision, Judge James haA
that Mr.. Hunt was entitled to
judgment for the return of the pro-
perty, or its value, If return could
not be made, and also to damages for
taking and withholding the property
to the amount of five dollars.

According to decision by the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue, the
income tax is being assessed under
the old rates Of five per cent. and ton
per cent, and the proposed amend
ments increasing the exemption from
5000 to $1,000 will not affect this
assessment. Persons will also, for
this year, have to pay taxes on their
watches, carriages and plate, as here
tofore.

FROM NORFOLK. special telegram
to the Richmond Dispatch, dated Sth

Mrs. Jefferson Davis made brief
visit to our city this morning, return

Judge Underwood arrived here, to-
day, and will commence the May
term OF the United States Circuit
Court tomorrow. Many cases of i'm
portance are on the docket of this
Court, and its proceedings will be
looked for with great interest.
The bill in regard to changing the
place of holding the United States
Circuit Court from Norfolk to Rich

to be acted on by the Senate, and

STATE News. The Abbcville B.u.-
ney' says:
Very unfavorable reports come up
from all quarters of the District as ,
the present condition of the growing
crops. The excessive rains which fell
few weeks ago, succeeded by strong
winds, We're very injurious, and fol-
lowing these, we have had more rain
and cool nights Wheat is tolerablc.
Oats were seriously injured by the
cold weather in February, and were
so killed ont that short crop is in
evitable. The stand of corn is said
to be good. Altogether, the present
prospects arc not at all encouraging
We are gr;.tified to learn that the pre-
sent untoward condition Of things is
due to other causes than inefficiency
on the part of the freedmen. OF
them, we hear little or no complaint.
The Anderson appeal says
1t is greatly feared, as we learn
from many farmers, that the wheat
crop may suffer serious detriment
from the very unfavorable weather of
the last few weeks. Rust has already
made its appearance in many places.

Radical ramme.

Wendell Phillips, of Boston, is the
real leader of the radical movement,
by virtue of his having moro brains
and more courage than any Of the
rest of the party. He does its think
ing, and directs its policy and action.
In this view, the following pro-
pramme, which he has just dictated,
is important-it il icates to what
issue and complexion the radicals will
come at last in the fight against the
Constitution of the country, which is
defended by the President and his
friends:
"Our true policy is this: Let Con-
gress plainly announce its belief that
no state lately in rebellion is fit to be
re-admitted to Congress. Let it Law
down the principle that no one shall
ever be admitted except it establishes
universal or ut leastimpartial suffrage
and then let Congress adjourn. Every
day it continues in session jeopards
this great cause. 1t may be bought,
bullied or deceived. All tends that
way while it is in session, exposed to
Administrative influence. Once ad-
journed, let the lines be distinctly
drawn, and go to work to meet 1868
in earnest; the interval between now
and the next elections, State, ma
tional and Presidential, is nonc"too
long for the work. The treason of
President Johnson, apd the impossi-
bility of impeaching' him, leave no
hope of any earlier settlement. It is
just as well, and much safer, to ac-
knowledge this. To adjourn and go
to the people on this issue is saving
time. In this way, spite Of the Pre-
sident, the whole fruit of tho war
may yet be saved. With the lines
distinctly drawn, the fight above
board and acknowledged-the issue
fairly presented, and every Congress-
man stunping his own State, the
nation may yet be founded and built
MP on impartial and absolute justice.

needless Senators to put us, bound

runs the risk of giving us another
ten years of just such dislocatcl, dis
cordant and perilous national life as
we have passed through since 1856.
