MIR. Rpecher.s Views.

Rev. HENRY WARD BEECHRR has been lee
turing Of late TO crowded audiences in several
cities Of the interior Of New York. The sketch
published in the Dispatch n day or two ago OF
his remarks in one Of these lectures discloses a
more kindly spirit and more enlarged ideas
than those formerly popular among his hear
crs. Whilst proclaiming his own desire for
the extension of suffrage, not only to all men,
but also to all women, he said that he would
have Georgia and South Carolina as prosper
Gus rs Massachusetts and New York; he would
have liberty for the Southern white man ;
made prosperou and happy. He would have
10 more shedding Of blood no hanging for
political offences he would have a total ces-
sation of strife; if we are to go on and hang
all who have done wrong, where, he asked,
would the executions cease? Mr.. BEgcHER
urged that it was not only necessary for the
welfare of the nation that the North should
be generous, but that she should be SO tho
roughly and heartily earnest in her generosity
that the South could not help knowing and
feeling the strength and purpose OF her
motives and her actions. He is said to have
exerted the utmost power ofhis eloquence and
yigor in support OF these views
1t indicates wholesome change In public
sentiment when Mr.. BEEcHER expresses. in
popular lectures, such wise and liberal opin.
ions. We can pass over the universal suffrage
10 all men and all women--for perhaps the pro
gressives in this country will never be salts.
fed till the experiment is tried and the trial
Will go farther 10 use up theories and afford
AL opportunity for new departure than the
most learned and logical argument.

A HARD FArE.-There Is now residing near
the little village of Williamsboro' in the State
OF North Carolina, an honorable veteran, with
family, wife and five yonng children, nv.
ing upon charity. He Is eighty-six years Of
age-fought In the battle on the Lakes, during
the war with England, under Perry and Elliot,
and received from the State of Virginia O
sword, with gold scabbard and mountings, in
testimony Of the appreciation entertained of
his public services. At and before the late
war he was a captain in the navy Of the Uni
ted States, and in honorable retirement by the
Star Chamber Naval Board, who sat upon the
merits of other deserving and distinguished
men. When Virginia passed the ordinance
Of secession he resigned his commission, WMch
was all he had, and from honest conVlc'
tion, 4 sense Of duty, and honorable IN
stincts, cast his lot with the Confederacy
Virginia supported him during the war. That
support has now ceased Now he is Pennies
and dependent-absolutely so. 1t Is owing
to the kindness of a friend in this city, Major
Smith, that he has a temporary shelter over
his head. His dwelling in Portsmouth IS
occupied by one who has il from the Freed
mems Bureau or some other authority, and he
is thus prevented returning TO his home and
occupying his dwelling. The Attorney Gene
raj has been petitioned-and the President OF
the United States has been appealed 10 by his
wife and his friends. But his crime was in
being an old naval officer. He has been told
that he has committed a grave offence, and,
like the widow in Scripture, that he gave away
his mite. This veteran and dependent man Is
Hugh Nelson Page, of the State Of Virginia.

Ex-Presidcnt Burnet, of Texas who was
selected by the ladies Of New Orleans TO pre-.
sent their two memorials in behalf of Mr..
Davis, has rendered, through the New
Orleans papers, an account OF his visit to
President Johnson. Mr.. Burnet is extremely
guarded in his language-so much so as to
leave the impression that his interview with
MIR. Johnson was not very satisfactory. But his
cautiousness gives MS the greater reason for
believing his avermonts in their fun meaning.
He says:

Dir. JAMES GORDON BEsstTT was, not long
since, invited 10 deliver a lecture before lite

A MAN BADLY CUT.-A serious stabbng
affray occurred in Rockets old field on Tues.
day last, in which James Glenn was badly cut
In the neck and throat by James Tyree. The
latter (who has been arrested) states that he

he neglected TO call for that he notified him
to come and get il, and Glenn still neglect
or refusing to do so, he sold the wagon that
on Tuesday Glenn came to his place Of bust
ness and asked him about II, and on learning
that it was sold, knocked him down and that
he immediately rose and inflicted the cuts
upon him. Tyree was arrested by Constable
Cole, of Henrico, on a warrant issued by JUS
tice Nettles, and placed in custody of Justice
Wade, who refused to admit him TO bail, and
he was thereupon committed. He exhibits
marks of having received some injuries in the
melee. Glenn is quite seriously hurt, and is
still unable TO leave his bed.

DARING CASE oP GARR0TISG AID ROBBERY. -
On Tuesday night, shortly after o clock, n
case of garroting and robbery occurred on
Capitol Square, which shows the necessity OF
increased vigilance on the part Of the conser-
vators OF the public peace. Mr.. j. I. Brooks,
gentleman from Rhode Island, who is visit.
ing Richmond on business, was at that hour
coming from the direction OF the Governor s
mansion, and when he reached the fountain,
near the ruins OF the old State court house,
he was suddenly set upon by three ruftians,
who had previously been concealed, one OF
whom seized him by the throat and trip
ped him over on his back, while the
others proceeded to ,,'go through" him
in the most approved professional style.
They took from him seventeen hundred
dollars in money, seventeen one-hundred-
dollar bills) 4 number Of valuable papers, and
a full ewelled silver lever watch and chain ;
the thief who had him down mean while keep
ing his grasp upon his throat, and choking
him SO as TO prevent his giving IN alarm.
hastily left, and Mr.. Brooks. much weakened
from the attack, and bleeding At the mouth
and nose, made his way TO his lodgings, at the
ST. Charles Hotel, and information of the
affair was communicated 10 the police, but no
arrest has yet been made. There is no doubt
OF the fact that this party OF garroters were
aware OF the fact that Mr.. Brooks had money,
as he had been in the habit Of attending auc-
tions, and doubtless had him spotted in
advance. With all the instances of robbery
before them, and the certain knowledge of the
danger Of such a course, it is strange that any
man who has soiourned two daysin Richmond
should venture forth at night with yaluables
or money in his pockets. The newspapers
have continually given warning in regard 10
1t, and if any body loses heavily by garroters
il is his own fault-that is, if he is 4 man who
reads the newspapers.

The Secretary, Major Piper, read the follow
ing letter, received from the Secretary Of Civil
Affairs in New York:

Fenian Brotherhood and the commission of
the Centre sent on without delay. Hoping to

The President then proceeded to address the
meeting upon the nature of the organization
He was in favor of either going on at once, and
organize the circle, or "bust up" altogether
He then called upon all gentlemen present to
walk up and sign, and several thereupon COM
piled.
On motion of Major Piper, 1t was resolved
that the meetings hereafter be held on Satur
day night of each week.
Mr.. John Hannegan moved that the meet.
ings hereafter be held 1T Fenian Hall, on Wall
street. Lost by a very small majority-very
few voting on either side.
Mr.. James Giblin then asked whether all
who had voted had signed their names. He
was not disposed 10 be governed by the vote Of
those who had no interest in the success Of the
order.
II was moved that gentlemen be appointed
10 open lists in four districts OF the city, where
those disposed TO sign their names could do so,
and pay their initiation fee. Carried.
The following appointments were then
made: First district-B. Tracy second dis
,rict--James Giblin third district-Captain

WHITE LABOR FOR THE SoCTH.-Mr Joseph
J. Mhoon, n well-known and very successful
planter, left this city yesterday, taking with
him sixty four white laborers, whom he has
employed to work upon his cotton plantation
in Oktibbcha county, Mississippi, near the
Mobile and Ohio railroad. His experience and
observation have satisfied him that the plan
ters cannot rely for the production of cotton
upon the uncertain labor of the freed negroes,
and that the future prosperity of the South
must be based upon white labor.--Nao York
