\ friend of ours wishes to know
what has become of the gold watch

house. in 1862. 1t is not accounted

Robt. T.. Lee, who was attired
plainly, we are told by the reporters,
in his well worn suit of gray, and his
home made straw hat. Hon. a. II.
H. Stuart, the orator of the day, spoke
for two hours on the ''causes and
consequences Of the recent war, and
what duties it imposes upon ns,
especially the young men Of the
South" When the exercises were
concluded, the band struck up
Dixie, which was of course greeted
with tumultuous shouts, but it is
stated that "there was no bad man

Serious Movement in Texas.

The following letter has been re-
ceived at Washington and laid before
the President. The writer and reci
pient are alike we'll known, and the
information conveyed in the letter is
beyond doubt. The letter runs rs
follows:
GALVESTON, TEXAS, June 5, 1866.
DEAR -: Gov. Hamilton leaves
here tomorrow for Washington.
From sources no doubt perfectly re-
liable, learn that he goes on at the
invitation of Mr. Speaker Colfax,
Senator Trumbul and others, who
regard him, as one of his admirers
tells me, as the great man Of the
Union party South Of the Potomac.
His programme, 1 believe, will be to
produce or accept q rupture with the
President. He will then be serc-
nadcd by the radicals, and will lay
before the public the condition of the
Union men in Texas and the South,
alleging that the army alone protects
them from being driven out of the
country and exposed to every insult
and outrage; and that if the Cover
nor who this month will be elected
by the people of Texas-Throckmor-
TOMS permitted to be installed, he
will counsel the $4,000 Union white
men of this State and the GO,OOO
black men of the State to overthrow
the rebel minority which oppose and
enslave them. An instruction will
be encouraged, and they believe the
President will not be permitted to
use the army against the white and
black Union men Of The State in
behalf of white rebels. The Presi-
dent will be denounced in the strong
est and bitterest terms, rs having
betrayed the Union men of the South,
and give them, bound hand and foot,
into the power Of the enemies Of the
country.
His speech Will be the signal for q
far more violent and vindictive cru
SADIE against the President and the
South than has heretofore been
waged; and the plan is to summon
whites and blacks to the polls to
exercise the divinely conferred and
the inalienable rights Of participa-
tion in the Government

having witnessed the performances,
from what 1 could make out Of the

Let us, so soon as may be-and that
should be at once-tell the people Of
the Southern States to take care of
themselves and of their poor. We
might as we'll build poor-houses for
Massachusetts as for South Carolina.
If we are not mistaken, the laws of
several Northern States disfranchise
paupers; SO that when man be-
comes the object of County charity
he loses the right to vote. Why not
have bureau at Washington to take
care of the disfranchised poor of the
North? Is there any more reason in
the one case than in the other? Does
any one doubt that the people of
each State are best able to regulate
their local affairs? If nothing else,
self-lhterest is sure to lead the people
of the Southern States to take good
care of their laboring population.
They must do so or perish. It is all
that they have left on which to build
any hope for the future
The interest of the entire country
is involved in this subject. The North
needs Southern prosperity. The
North wanted the Union; and the
Union is valuable because Of the mu-
tual dependence and assistance of all
its parts. Unless the people Of the
South are soon placed in control of
their local affairs, we may regard the
material prosperity of the Southern
States as hopelessly destroyed, or
postponed for an indefinite period.
The Freedlnens Bureau is doing no.
thing toward restoring local or na-
tionnl prosperity. 1t is a drain on
the national purse for evil. and very
little, if any, good. AS we have be
fore remarked, Gen. Howard is enti-
tied to credit for the best intentions,
and for sincere desire to do good;
but his work is utterly vain. It is
becoming curse to both black and
white man, and the sooner it is
brought to an end the better for all.
We cannot but think that the general
himself, earnest and intelligent rs lie
is, begins to realize the futility OF the
plan.

The ENGLISH FINANCIAL. TROUBLES.
The financial trouble in England has
by no means been disposed Of 1t
still exists, and although what was
called the panic, or first alarm, is
over, there is still financial strin-
gency throughout Great Britain, and
failures arc taking place daily.
The Bank Of England still holds up
the rate of interest at ten per cent, q
policy which alarms the holders of
money, and incites them to hoard
rather than to employ it. 1t is
believed that there is no justification
for the continuation of this policy.
as foreign exchange is in favor of
Great Britain, not against it.
Money is pouring into the bank,
and yet that institution stimulates
distrust by extra caution and Il policy
which is not wise. Many OF the
failures which have taken place arc at
tributed to the scarcity of money:
this scarcity deters men in business
from paying their debts, and pre-
vents those whom they owe from
negotiating loans, by which they
could meet the payments required of
them, and thereby tide their affairs
over the shoals of panic
Hence, there are many failures Of
merchants who have abundant assets,
who could pay easily if that which is
due to them were first pNid, or who
could work out their emuarrassments
in time, could they obtain present
loans or advances.
1t is the misfortune of the credit
system that such disasters occur
periodically; but they cannot be
avoided until the cash system is
adopted in every branch Of business,
/ and the motto, ''pay as you go,
becomes of universal application.

In view of the high and unjust
tariff now pending in Congress, the
Cincinnati ComnaerciM says:
The sentiment Of the peoplc of the
Northwest, taken on the tariff
question. unembarassed by other
issues, would be found overwhelm-
ingly opposed to any further tolera-
tion OF the systematic extortion which
is highly developed as great
principle in New England and Penn
sylvania; and already the dissatisfac-
ton is SO great that we doubt not it
will result in returning to the next
Congress a number of Copperheads
who, whatever else they may do, will
oppose tariff system, SO adjusted as
to ponr into one mans pocket the
fruit of the labor Of thousand hands.

The Frre.lmcM's Dome.tic IselatLon..
Any ono who has closely observed
the change in the domestic relations
Of the freed people, for the past year,
either here or elsewhere, knows that
there is much trnth in the following,
which We clip from the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel:
"The courts of the country reveal
an enormous amount of infelicity in
the affairs of the freed people One
year of freedom has, we really be-
ieve, broken up more families than
FIVE years of slavery. The colorcd
women have imbibed high idea of
having house of their own and play
ing lady. This throws the burden of
supporting the family upon the men,
who, in turn, are given to being what
Artemus Ward calls very much mar
ried, and find it difficult to make
enough to keep their several families
comfortable. Disputes follow then
broils then separations. We know
numerous instances Of quite ludi-
crous freaks of affection amos the
sable sons and daughters of freedom.
A legal friend, in this city, was, few
weeks ago, approached by colored
woman, who was in great distress
about her husband, who was in Jail.
A day was appointed when the wo-
man was to bring certain evidence
necessary to secure the release Of hel
loved lord. The day came, but not
the forlorn female. Weeks passed,
and he who was so recently all the
world to her still pined in Jail. AT
length, our legal friend learned tina!

anything which might be construed as favor

reiterate his determination not to be used by
those who sought to commit him either ior OF
against the Presidents policy, or 10 attach any
political significance to his presence on tne

avoid participation in ordinary political con-
fi;cts except it was their duty as Citizens to
smnnort only men who could show record of

had in some instances put on their ticket, men
who in 1861 and 1862 had been guilty Of known
disloyalty to the government; because (and
this was said in a very emphatic Iulanner) he

blood for the Union to vote for men who had
been disloyal to it, was hegreatest insult that

Johnston or Forrest, because, though they had

Northern men who had once been disloyal, and

candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, say
ing that to ask any soldier to vote for such q
man, of at one time known disloyalty, against
another who had served four years in the I'm

his country, was a gross insult. If men desir-

Temperance Conren,ion.

The Temperance gathering at Raymond vii
lage next Wednesday, 26th inst, promises to
be large if the weather is favorable. The Coun-
ty Association will meet at the appointed time
and place, whatever the weather Future
postponements will seldom perhaps

the necessity for meeting at all no longer ex-
lists, as many persons now say in reference to
the American Anti Slavery Society. an
The special topic for discussion at the pro-
posed meeting, we learn, is the duty, of the
clergy in the promotion of the cause A reso-
luton lies upon the table which declares that,
as body, they are not now employing in this
direction the. unrivalled facilities they mani
testify enjoy, as once they did; and hence a
lapse in the temperance movement. A few
faithful ministers, and the mass of temperance
men and women in the county, are of this
opinion; and if it be erroneous they ought to
be disabused. The laity for the most part as
eribe almost unlimited influence to the clergy.
and they are naturally jealous Of its use. Sc
A call upon the clergy is therefore earnestly
made to assemble at Raymond, not SO much to
disprove the declaration of the resolution, if it
can be fairly done, as to show to friends of the
cause and to the continuity at large what is
their purpose in the future; and this, it is gem
orally thought, theyeare bound to do if they
would preserve the, respect to which their sa-
cred office and former abundant labors in this
behalf fully entitle them. Is ai80sl ash q ~
Politics are not necessarily excluded from
the meetings of the Association, nor any other
subject which has "a bearing upon the question
Of temperance, favorable or otherwise. But
partisan discussion is not encouraged, since it
would be manifestly in bad taste and produce
tive of no good to the cause. Allusion is s6me-
times made to parties-political, moral, reli-
gious-and to individuals without combination
by virtue of any particular name; and they
are occasionally brought under censure, not
more for what they do in hindrance of the
cause, than for what they omit in the line of
duty. But no Partially is shown ,sloa3iT l.s

Taxation.wilhout Represcn,a,icn


In commenting upon the great popular
demonstration at Birmingham, we said, few
days since, "The time unquestionably draws
near when the motto of the American colon
les century ago will be adopted as the rally
ing cry of English Liberals, and No taxation
without representation will be The inspiring
principle of a Reform bill which will shake the
nation" The Argus assumes that the pohcy
which the English government pursued TO
ward the American colonies, and the exact
policyv low maintained by the Derby minis
try and opposed by John Bright is paralleled
by the Congressional policy in dealing with the
Southern States" mo taxati N without rep
rrsentation," the Argus asserts, is Just what
the President demands and. Congress denies,
and proceeds
If the Press is unable to perceive it. such ID
the fact; 1t advocates the taxation of the
south without representation; it advocates a
polcy for the South which by preventing I'm
ION and by the denial of plain constitutional
rights rs as oppressive as the policy of England
toward 1reland-and is equally calculated to
cause Chronic irritation" which in time Of war
would be a source of weakness to our country
as paralyzing as if the country were "smitten
with q sudden palsy?
The special grievance of Ireland at this
time is the Irish Church Establishment, and
as nobody proposes to impose state religion
upon the South, that branch OF the Argus's
comparison may be allowed to drop. The
case Of the American colonies is less, clearly
unlike the condition Of the Southern States
and deserves moments consideration. The
British government claimed the right to tax
the colonies as necessary compensation for
its protecting care. We claim the right to
tax the lands and produce of the Southern
States as part of the American Union, as
for certain high purposes belonging forever to
the American people and not merely 20 the
occupants. If the occupants were, women, or
negroes, the American, Tories would deny
their right to be represented in the Ma
tional councils. ~ The American Liberals
would then as now insist upon their equal
rights. This occupants are many of them,
'paroled prisoners of wal." Congress does
not deny them their plain constitutional
rights. They have forfeited their rights
Congress does not propose to exclude them
from their former share in the government,
but simply to insist upon securing the fruits
of victory before entrusting 10 their hands
powers they have once abused. $780,, 4,.a "a
The party which John Bright leads, in
England is rapidly arraying itself in favor of
universal suffrage. The National Republican
party in this ccuntryis coming to the same
ground--stands there already in sentiment if
not in declared policy. And the Argus, op-
posing us atevcry step, darkens wisdom with
vain words in the attempt to confound Amer
lean Radicals with a Derby Ministry and
American Tories with John Bright and his
followers. lal 9i'i 1y'''-'l' '''''' - e,'''i''
