THE ANTICIPATES rNsURREcrroNs.

Just previous 10 the Christmas holidays
now closed, serious apprehensions were felt
and expected in various sections of the
South, that the negroes would avail them
selves of the occasion for instruction and
violence towards the whites. In several
cases these fears seemed so well grounded
that the government authorities were re-
quested to make such disposition as would
suppress the attempt, if it should be made.
The Government authorities very cheerfully
responded in conformity with the request
But it is very gratifying to know that the
time has come and passed, without the reali-
cation of those fears. Reports have been
received from Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi which indicate that the day
designated passed off as quietly and
decorously as could have been reasonably
anticipated. The possession by the freed
men of firearms, which seems to be gener-
ally the case, and their accessibility to in
toxicating drink, was probably one of the
principal grounds of the fears which were
felt and expressed. There were, indeed, oc-
casional collisions and rows, in Alexandria,
Richmond, Wilmington and Augusta, for ex-
ample-but they had none of the character
of preconcerted and general purpose of in
surrection and violence being such as
would be likely to occur on any day of the
year under similar circumstances.
Since his emancipation, the conduct of the
negro, en- masse, has been quiet and orderly.
Whilst he has felt his freedom, aud is disin-
clined to yield that Difference and obedience
to his employers, as he did to his former
master, he has exhibited none of that blood
thirsty disposition which. many appear in
clined to ascribe as part of his nature. To
this general observation, there have been
quite number of exceptions; but the in
stances have been sporadic. In this respect
their demeanor has been such as to do them
selves credit and to inspire greater degree
of confidence ON the part of the whites. II
they will only unite with an orderly walk,
habits of virtue, sobriety, industry, and fru-
gality, they viii soon begin to reap the true
and only good fruits of their freedom.

DEATH OF HENRY WINTER DAVIS,


The Telegraphic dispatches announce the
death. on Saturday last, of HENRY WINTER
DAVIS, of Maryland. Pneumonia is stated
as the disease which caused his death, and
we presume, it was violent and rapid Mr.
DAVIS was about forty-fve years of age, and
was graduate of Kenyon College, Ohio.
If we were to follow the precept of the an
Gent maxims, "say nothingof thedead unless
it be good" we should be disposed to say
nothing more than that Mr.. DAVIS was dead;
for in his comparatively brief but brilliant
career, we think he did his full share of
political mischief He was man of high
culture, and great powers asa finished orator.
Asa representative of the Fourth district of
Maryland, "a part of the city of Baltimore,
he made a notable mark in the House of
Representatives, where he held seat for the
greater part Of the past ten years. He en-
tered public life as conservative Wing !;
became attached to the American Tor Know
nothing organizationj; was afterwards a
Union man, in the parlance of the day !;
and subsequently became radical republi-
can. With all his genius, and capacity to
make himself observed and felt, he did
nothing which posterity will greatfulIy re-
member, and failed to inspire the confidence
even of those who thought and acted with
him.
But the grave hides alike his genius and
the good that was in him, the qualities,
which many think, made him unfit as a safe
public counsellor, and we forbear to say
more

"BULLY1NG THE PRESIDENT.

The reader will find, in our columns, this
morning, letter from the Washington cor
respondent Of the Chicago Tribune, giving
the details of an interview between couple
of the members of Congress and the Presi-
dent A gentleman by the aanle of Wilson,
hailing, we believe from the State of Iowa,
and sailing under the disunion flag of the
Radicals, introduced into the House, reso-
luton condemnatory of the Presidents re-
construction policy. The resolution was
adopted by a very decided majority. Imme-
diately, the mover of the resolution sought
the President at the Executive mansion
thinking, doubtless that Upon bringing the
attention of the President TO the resolution
and the majority by which it had been
adopted, it would certainly convince him
that all his proceedings towards restoring
the disturbed relations of the States and of
tho General Government, were founded in
error, and that he would very cheerfully adj
NIT the fact and bow to the superior wis
dom of Mr.. Wilson, and his I" colleague"
and the majority of the House What oc-
CURED, however, is clearly stated by Mr..
Wilson's " next friend" the correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune
The letter gives more definite and clear
insight into the purposes of the radicals,
and more decisive assurance of President
Johnson's frmness, than any single event
that has publicly transpired since the meet
ing Of Congress. An assurance that
the former design through despotic
and unauthorized action on the part of
Congress, to subvert the groundwork of
Republican institutions; and the latter
means TO sustain and perpetuate the
principles in which the Union is
founded, and upon with its superstucture is
built. 1t displays the trickery and cunning
by which the Congress should have its way
and sway, overturning the Presidents poll
cy, and yet relieve him of all public impu-
table responsibility for the overflow Of a
democatic government, and the reduction of
the Southern States to a provincial condi-
ton. This proposition to make the Presi-
dent a " dummy"-to set him up in the
White House as a picture to be gazed at,
without mind or voice, was met by Mr..
johnson, as it deserved to be. BY this in
terview he taught the coadjutors and follow
ers. of Mr.. Wilson, that he not only occupies
the Executive Chair, but that he has the
manhood TO assert the proper Constitutional
powers, and the personal dignity of the
Office.
Thus the war has been thoroughly inau-
gurated and popularized. From other sour
cez, we learn that the President has thrown
himself fairly on the defensive. He has no
tilted the Heads of the several Departments
to make no further appointments on the re-
commcndation of members Of Congress. The
appointment 70 the New York city Collec-
torship is held in abeyance-and thus mat
tiers Will stand at the reassembling of Con-
gross this week
In the meantime the thanks and earnest
support Of all truly patriotic Union men are
due to Andrew johnson.

DIRECT TRADE wrrH EUROPE.

1t win be remembered by our readers that
previous to the war efforts were beingmade to
establish steamship lines between the leading
pcrts of Europe andthe Southern States. We
are grati6ed to learn that this project is being
revived with the greatest energy and on a
more extensive scale than was proposed be-
fore the war. We called attention recently
to the line now in operation, departing from
and arriving at Baltimore It's capacities
are soon to be increased; from it we antici-
pate great benefits to the dealers in imported
goods in the West and Northwest. With
our direct communication by rail through
East Tennessee, the merchants aud people of
our State must reap largely of the advan-
tages which must accrue from this steamship
line. Charleston is also actively engaged in
endeavoring to establish line from her
wharves.
BY circular from Messrs VIM. Hunter &
Co., No. Al Carondelet street, New Orleans.
the excellent agents of the important line
between Liverpool and New Orleans we
learn that its steamers will take all kinds
of produce and sign bills of lading at through
rates, to be delivered at Liverpool, Havre.
Bremen, Hamburg, Antwerp, Rotterdam,
Guttenburg, Riga, St. Petersburg, and Mos
cow. The final port of destination may be
determined on, on signing the bills of lading
in New Orleans, or declared by the holders
of the bills within twelve hours after the
steamers arrival in Liverpool. This affords
the importers of Liverpool the choice of
markets, which business men will perceive
is great advantage
The steamers of this line now touch at
Havana and Queenstown. The agents state
that on their representation of the necessity
of direct line of steamers between New
Orleans and Liverpool, which will make the
voyage innineteen days, the English owners
determined to place fleet of new steamships
on the route designed expressly for the New
Orleans trade, and have already made ar
rangements to this effect. We trust that the
energy, determination and liberality shown
by the company may induce such a patron
age of this important enterprise throughout
the Southwest, as to enable the company to
change their fortnightly into weekly line
To all such enterprises we bid hearty
"God speed" There are sufficient exports
from and imports to the South, to make such
lines paying investments. Let them be en-
couraged and patronized

FROM WASHINGTON.

The Isresidenf's Reconsideration Policy
Calming 6sround.--A Majority Of
Roth Houses For If---The Arrest of
Cominodore Semmes---Canse of IL.
&C., &c.
Special Dispatch to the Louisville Courier.l
WASHINGTON, Dec 30-Evidence of the
growing strength of the Presidents party is
stronger to-day than ever before. Assur-
ances of support Of the Administration pol
icy have been received from unexpected
sources.
As was expected, the opportunity afforded
TO the Senators and Representatives to feel
the pulse of their constituents, has resulted
in the conversion of several of the most OBJ
servant of the Radicals to the views of the
Administration.
There is no doubt now entertained that
the reconstruction measures of President
johnson will be sustained at an early day
by both Houses of Congress.
The arrest of Semmes is strongly con-
demned in certain official quarters There
seems TO be a disposition to avoid all respon-
sibility in the premises, and to refer the
matter to the Naval Court, for his trial has
not yet been indicated. 1t is expected that
il will be discovered that Semmes was inclu-
ded in the surrender of the Southern forces.
His trial and conviction are urged here,
upon the ground of sustaining our policy
against England, rather than upon any
other. 1t is regarded necessary for the po-
sition taken in diplomatic correspondence
that Semmes and others should be treated
here, not as Confederate prisoners of war,
but as nirates
