OBITUARY.

Died, near Huntsville Alabama, on the
9Th of October, 1866, IDA THOMPSON,
daughter of General Thompson and Caro-
lno l.. Earle, aged nine years, eight months
and ten days.
In the early departure of this interesting
child, we have another evidence that death
is no rcspectcr of persons. Neither age,
nor sex, nor circumstances, are proof
against his approaches. In the death of
the young, there is always something truly
melancholy; bnt the Bible consoles us with
tho assurance that they arc s'rcmoved from
the evil to come" and are forever happy
with that blessed Saviour, who has de-
clared that ''such compose the kingdom Of
God" Then ''weep not for the dead;" but,
being fully confident that they are safely
housed in Heaven, let us seek to acquire
that spiritual taste and those moral quail
fications which will prepare us to meet our
kindred and friends in that bright world.
where the ties which have been severed bv
death shall be reunited, never again to be
broken off
She has LEFT behind her fond parents to
mourn,
Ponderins on joys that will never return;
But cease. TO weep, for she has gone to rest;
God claimed the fair bud and planted it in
Heaven. - RELATIVE.

News FROM SOUTHWEST. Further
Investigations made here into tho
Lowenthal forgcries establish clearly
his guilt, as we'll as that Of promi-
ncnt Washington paymasters.
Mr.. Blow has just made an afIi-
davit setting forth other transactions
Of an astonishing character. The
paymasters here are not at all mixed
up in the swindles, but rumor says
one or two staff officers may lose
their straps unless they can show how
they obtained several of Lowenthals
checks found in their possession.
Since the recent elections tue tone
of the Southern press is very violent
against Congress. especially those
who before seemed to look upon the
constitutional amendment with 4
little favor. The Times declares that
Louisiana will not ratify it. The
general idea is that President John
son will stand by his policy, be i'm
peached, and that civil war will en-
sue.

HE BLACK AND TANs.-The ira
Yelling delegation from the black and
tan convention, known rs Southern
icyalists, have issued, or are about to
issue, an address to the people of the
United States, in which the recon-
mendation is made that the Govern
ments Of the Southern States shall be
abolished, and new ones organized
upon the basis of negro suffrage.
These contemplate knaves, knowing
that they have no chance Of getting
the votes of white men, probably ina
Sinc that II they can get the right of
suffrage conferred upon the negroes,
they will have u reasonable show for
public office. This is the whole secret
of their scheme. They want the pre-
sent State Governments broken up.
so that vacancies in the State and
Federal offices will be created immc-
diatcly, and the right of suffrage for
the negroes, so that they may be
elected to fill them. They seem to
be possessed with the delusion that if
the negroes are allowed to vote, they
will certainly vote for them, but it
might happen that they would find
themselves mistaken. 1t does not
necessarily follow that because a ne
gro can vote, that he will prefer dis
honest and radical knave to reputa-
BILE man. The majority of negroes,
III respect to morality and decencv,
have very decided advantage over
any of the so-called Southern loyal
lists. Indeed, it is not unlikely that
they would take one OF their own
number in preference. OF course, no
respectable negro would vote for one
of these loyalists, and the negro
votes would, therefore, in all cases
be cast for some decent white man or
intelligent darlley. The loyalists are
counting their chickens before they
are hatched. Their scheme will not
do, us they will surely find, if the cx
pertinent they propose is made.

'"THE REBEL DEBT. THE World
says: "The radicals are making u
great noise about rebel debt. We
should like to know with what course
of reasoning they make out that
there is any such thing as a rebel
debt. The bonds issued by those
who tried to establish the Southern
Confederacy were made payable one
year after the independence of the
Confederate States was recognized by
the United States. There is, there
fore, no such thing as q rebel debt,
and cannot possibly be any to pay,
unless the radicals intend TO recog-
nize the independence OF jeff. Davis

Another Chronicle Cana.d.

The Washington Chronicle. of Mon
day last, had the following para
graph:
"An army officer of high rank, who
has just returned from q trip to the
South, learned, while in Charleston,
that the Twenty-ninth South Carolina
rebel regiment had been re-organized.
and that they boasted of having ten
dered their services to President
johnson to aid him in any attempt
which he might make to disperse
Congress. 1t is evident that there
are Il few citizens of the Palmetto
State anxious for annihilation.
We believe this to be lie, out of
the whole cloth; if not, it is easy for
Forney to give the name of the
army officer of high rank" and
thus shield himself from the author
ship Of such an absurd fabrication.
But he has established for himself
such character, that every one will
come to the conclusion that the above
mallgnant statement is the produc-
ton of his own brain. From his
youth up he has been unscrupulous
and unreliable. This we learned
many years ago from a gentleman
who worked with him in the same
printing Office, when the traits of
that character so fully developed
since were even then visible.
Nobody but fool would believe
the story of the voluntary re-organi-
Zation Of a "rebel" regiment in South
Carolina her people have something
more important to attend to, and no.
body but u knave would utter it.

The Constitutional Amendment.
The conservative press of the
Northern States have como out man
ly, dcnouncing the men who intend
that the Southern people should
swallow this last and bitterest pill.
The New York Times has the follow
ing:
'sTHE SOUTH AND THE CONSTITU
TIoNAL AMENDMENT. Our lntelli
mence from the Southern States shows
that an effort will be made to array
the Southern people against the CON
stitutional amendment upon point
of honor.
What nonsense. There is no need
of an ''cllort" to array the Southern
people against the amendment. They
are all of one mind. If the Times
knows of one single Southern man of
any influence who is in favor Of the
amendment, let it namo him. We
do not know one.
AS the Nashville Union and Amey.i-
c'n> Justly says, the Southern people
believe that there are alternatives
worse than temporary non-repre-
aentation in the United States Con-
gress- AS great an outrage rs it is,
and as patent and inexcusable infrac-
ton OF the Constitution and of their
rights Us it is, they will submit indie
iinitely to the wrong, rather than be-
como parties to it, by adopting its
measures. They protest, and will
continue to do so, against the practi-
cal subversion Of our Government,
and will stay out until dooms-day if
they cannot come in with their rights
and privileges unabridged, and with
out being subjected to degrading con-
dltions precedent Representation
in such u body as the present Con-
*5ress is not the greatest good that
may attach to great and free peo-
pie.
The other States can act rs they
see proper, but the South can wait
and suffer, and endure still more
than they have already done, for the
sake of principle and the perpetual
ton OF free institutions. The North
may cease to cudgel its brain as to
the probable action of the Southern
States. They will not adopt the con-
stitutional amendment.

TURKEY AND ETHE GREAT CARYERs.

TURKEY AND 1.-THE GREAT CARvERs.
The condition of Turkey, with the
discomfort of her Syrian, Armenian
and Greek subjects in Gambia, is
about to engage the attention of the
great ruling statesmen in Europe.
This seems to have become neccs-
sity, and under it the spcculations
about the misunderstanding between
Napoleon and Bismarck are likely to
be dissipated. These astute states
men are coming together, it seems,
on the Turkish subject. The French
Emperor has gone to Biarritz, q sea-
bathing resort i'll Southwest France,
and Bismarck has engaged rooms
there. Nor is this ALL Gortscha-
kof, the Russian Prime Minister,
will be there, in company with, rep
resentatives from the House of Haps-
burg, the object being, it is said, to
have a consultation over the condi-
ton of Turkey. The so-called poll
tical necessities of Europe have led
to the bolstering up of the Ottoman
Porte long after it has lost the power
of self-malntenance. But for the
conntenance of European sovereigns
it is questionable whether Turkey
could maintain itself Il day against
internal dissension or foreign assault
The unification of the nationalities is
doctrine to which the great states
men have committed themselves, and
under it the aspirations of the Greeks,
for national unity, is q thing which
should logically follow.

GEN. SHERMAN's APPOINTMENT. :

1cN. hoftEhM-AN - AIIOlNIMENT.- -
The Richmond Times says:
We all recollect the generous terms
offered to the South by him in his
convention with Gen. Johnston.
Had that convention been carried
out, the country might have escaped
the troubles that are now threaten
ing. Peace would have, ere now,
spread its wings over our distracted
land, and we might have been q
united people. We feel, however,
assured that Gen. Sherman will do
all in his power to forward and carry
out the generous and hhmane plan
Of the President for the restoration
Of the Union in its entirety. AS we
have said, he is emincntly conserva-
tive in his views, an old army man,
and rcspecter Of the laws. The
conservatives OF the North, who are
now gallantly battling to save us from
the torch and turpentine party, will
hail his advent in the Cabinet with
JOY. The radicals Will find Gen.
Sherman II dangerous man to trihe
with.

The Life of an Emperor.

The Importance of the Emperor
Napoleon as n power in the European
system, is seen in the profound
anxiety that is everywhere exhibited
concerning his health. 1t is not
merely on the Paris Bourse that every
rumor produces marked effect; but
from England to Russia every Co
vernment is as greatly exercised
about the matter as if their fortunes
depended uponit. The entente cordiale
and the alliance between Franco and
England was the individual con-
ception and personal work of the
Emperor; and though the entente
co11liale is now cemented by enduring
commercial treaties and by strong
and profitable interests, yet it is felt
to be more reliable while he lives
than it is likely to be among the
political uncertainties that may
follow his death.
The interest Of Italy in the ques-
Slon does not spring merely from the
fact that to him in great measure the
kingdom owes its being, nor to the
fact that he raised his shield for her
protection in the perils that environed
her four months ago, but to the fact
that she has q guaranteed existence
so long as she shall last, and whether,
when he shall have passed away, she
will have as trustworthy q friend in
France, is dependent upon so many
contingencies, that the matter may
we'll be cause for anxiety. The Pope
has SO long been dependent upon the
Eldest Son Of the Church, and the
other spiritual children of the Holy
Father are OF so weak or unreliable
u character, that Plus TX may well
be pcrturbcd in view OF danger to
Napolcon's life. The Emperor, it is
true, has withdrawn his guardian
army from Rome; but he still
furnishes protection to the Pope, and
as long as the former lives, the latter
is secure from bad treatment. 1t
would be wicked in Prussia not to
pray for Napoleon's health. He
guided French sentiment and French
policy so discreetly during the late
Prusso-Austrian wal, and has MAIN
tanned such q pacific attitude, and
uttered such generous sentiments
ooN'tiN Nt, L L ltNSi't 'olllCt 1lo ClOSc, Cll.tU
the latter power could neither ask
nor hope for anything better
How greatly the course of events
has been Influenced by Napoleon
personally is known to I'LL students
of the times; and we arc sure there
is reason for doubling that events
would have taken the same desirable
direction had any other man, Orlean
ist or Liberal, been at the head of
affairs. Austria and Prussia would
have the least to care about Napo-
Icons death. With both Of these
powers he has been at war, and both
of them succumbed, Inundated and
defeated, before his arms. In any
event, France can do no more da-
mage to Austria; and as for Prussia,
she would have il better chance to
work out her destiny if this willy enc
my, who can control the power of
both France and England against the
Gar, were out of the way. On this
continent the Emperor's life has no
political value Without Louis Ma
poleon, the French army would never
have entered Mexico; but whether he
live or die, it will assuredly soon
withdraw from that country. The
event will not be effected by his
health, nor delayed by his personal
fortunes. Mem Toyh: Times.
