South CAROLINA AND MAssAcHu-
sErrs.-"Perley," in his despatch
from Philadelphia to the Boston
Journal, speaking of the visit paid by
tho delegates from South Carolina to
the Massachusetts delegation, says:
'Thcn Gen. Custer came in. and
was introduced to Gen. MCGOWAN. of
the Confederate army. After cor
daily shaking hands, Custer said:
'General-we have been looking at
each other often during the war
through field-glasses and amid the
smoke of battle. If we can now
shake hands, these civilians who have
stayed at their homes in safety surely
should.
"Gov. Orr, in conversation, repn-
dated the idea that when, in his
speech on Monday night, he alluded
to my Government he meant the
Confederate Government; that, he
said, is dead, and is no ones Go

the United States is its executor, and

This upright Puritan resides in

to the Treasury Department, in
which he says:
Mr.. SECRETARY: Enclosed I send
thirteen cents Of mutilated fractional
currency, it being the exact amount
overpaid me while in the army that
saved this glorious Union from disso-
luton. AS Congress has made such
generous provision for our country's
defenders. in the shape of bounty,
that's the reason the thirteen
cents" were sent, I trust you will be
able to pay all drafts on the Treasury
II all who have been overpaid such
large amounts are honest enough to
return them.

The proposed tunnel between Eng
land and France, for which Mr..
Hawkshaw, with the Emperor's con-
sent, has been SO busily boring holes
on each side of the chanuel, is likely
to have a formidable rival in the
ocean ferry proposed by Mr..
Fowler, who would employ enormous
steam vessels, like the "Grcat East
ern." to ply between the two shores.
These boats starting from special
docks at Dover and Calais. would
take the trains on board, and convey
them across, SO that there would be
no delay, no changing of carriages,
between London and Paris, and as
the roughest weather would have no
sensible effect on the motion of the
mammoth ferry boats, the demon of
sickness would be banished from that
favored highway. The tunnel would
take twenty years to complete and
cost 100000, ZOO sterling. The
ferry boats" could be ready in
thirty months, and would only cost

The President AND MEx1co.-Tl

The President AND MEXICO.
National InteAigencer, referring to the
proclamation of the President relative
to Mexico, says:
The proclamation of the President,
found elsewhere, is in strict consist
ence with American policy, and the
recognized laws of nations touching
neutral rights MS between bellige-
rents. This brutum -fulnnen of Maxi
milan, under the circumstances, may
have deeper significance than ap-
pears upon its face, for he has not
ono iota of justification for his course.
But let results be what they may, the
President will as sternly maintain the
rights Of the country as he will faith
fully discharge his sworn obligations
to fully recognize those of others.

EDITORIAL BRASS. We always
knew that the New York Herald had
more brass than any other journal in
the country, but it beats itself in the
following. In one of its recent issues
it published the following paragraph
"WANrED-SoUTImRS R1ors TO
HELP THE RAD1CALs.-It having been
deemed necessary to repeat the old
game of bleeding Kansas in order to
humbug the Northern voters at the
coming elections, q number of riots
are desired at various prominent t
points Mt the South, such as Rich
mond, Mobile, Memphis and New
Orleans If twenty or thirty negroes,
martyrs to liberty, can be killed at
each of these places, so much the
better for the radical cause. For fur
ther particulars, terms of compensa-
ton, &c, apply to old Thad. Stevens
or any other member Of the Recon
struction Committee.
The Tribune, having copied the
paragraph without crediting it to the
Herald, and having commented on it,
the Herald, next day, accused Gree
ley OF really desiring these riots, and
says:
eve cannot but admire the clever
fashion in which the Tribune, the
chief organ Of the radicals, has nd
vertised for men and means to get up
few more bloody riots, while we are
entirely in accord with it in the sem
timent-which it hypocritically OK
presses-that it is wicked and devil
ish device"
This is about the richest specimen
OF cool efrontery that we have seen
lately.

NEGRO HUMASlrY.-The LaGrange
LA Repo7ter says that some negroes
in Merriwether County, not wishing
to be troubled with their old father,
who was old and infirm. carried him
to brush tent some distance from
their cabin. where, few days after.
he was found dead from starvation.
MIR. Booker, their former master, was
informed Of the facts, and on going
to the spot, found the buzzards prev

with great difficulty that Mr.. Booker
could get the wretches to have the
Old man buried. One of the sons
gave MS reason why he did not go
and see his father buried--"Me

The Attempt 10 Create a Riot.


The correspondent of the New
York World gives the following state
ment of the attempt to create riot
in Philadelphia on the first night of
the Conventions:
During the afternoon, speeches
had been made from the balcony of
the Continental by several distin-
guished gentlemen, to the evident
satisfaction of q large crowd, who
were very enthusiastic. Not a word
Of opposition was heard; in fact,
everything was as peaceable as in the
Convention. When dark came on
this was all changed; some 200 men
marched up Chestnut street and scat
tered themselves among the crowd
They had arranged everything very
nicely for fight, and to make dis
turbance, cheered for JEFF. Davis, and
then accused the Union men of doing
it. At last there were some blows.
but a strong body of police stepped
m and prevented what might have
proved bloody encounter.
The mob, which was led by small
man, who repeatedly cried out, s'Eet
the ID traitors come on; we are
prepared for them," finding they
could not provoke riot, satisfied
themselves by knocking down q gen
tleman who had simply remarked that
he thought the conduct of its mem
bers disgraceful, then yelled. "Let us
pay Forney visit 'Three cheers
for the Dead Duck" "Threo groans
for the dead dog" In n moment
they were en- route for the Press Office,
marching four by four, which plainly
proved that the meeting was not by
accident. In passing the front of the
Continental, they insulted every
person who looked respectable, some
times asking for Southern traitors,
but especially demanding copper
heads. It was certainly the deter
mined conduct of the police which
prevented 81 fight, and the whole
force deserves the thanks of every
citizen interested in the movement.
for preventing the effusion of blood.
Upon reaching the Continental the
procession was ordered to halt, and
the gang commenced to cheer for
Thad. Stevens, Forney, and other
disunionists. BY this time another
crowd of Philadelphians had assem-
bled, and they exhibited q DISPOSE
ton to contest the matter with their
opponents. Cheers for johnson. the
Union, Senator Cowan and others
rang loudly upon the air, whereupon
the hostile parties got together, and
blows began to be exchanged, when
the police once more interfcred, and
compelled the radical mob to leave.
They did so, after some futile efforts
to remain, and made night hideous
with their shouts and groans as they
passed up Chestnut street to the
Union League Rooms. Beyond all
doubt the preparations for the riot
we're most complete, and only the
good sense of the Union men and the
determination of the police prevent
ed. 1t is but just to add that the re-
spectacle radicals of Philadelphia ex-
press deep modification at the
conduct of their political adherents,
and begged that for the sake of the
city, which officially had done we'll,
it might be forgotten.

The Richmond correspondent OF

The Richmond correspondent of
the New York Times says:
'The National Exchange Bank, of
this city, has, during the past year,
discounted of business paper only,
and exclusive of call loans and ster-
ling bills. no less than So, ASS, 900;
and In addition to this, when first es-
tablished. discounted for planters at
three and four months to tho amount
OF $50, 200, to enable them to buy
the horses and mules the Govern
ment was then selling in this city.
L mention these facts for the reason
that it has been asserted that these
banks are OF no benefit to the South
ern people, and especially to the
planters"

1t Meant tho whole South.

The New York Tribune is fre-
quently very frank and outspoken in
its admissions of the purposes and
policy of the party of which it is a
leading organ. For instance, speak
ing of the New Orleans riot, it says
eve should attach little impor-
tance to n single outbreak, if there
was reason to believe it was due to
local causes; but the conviction is
forced upon us that New Orleans
means the whole South, as Presi-
dentlally reconstructed, and we shud-
der to think of the future
The whole facts elected by the in
vestigation of the disturbance in New
Orleans, and all concurrent testimo-
ny, 60 to prove that this riot was
long before planned and concoctcd
by the radical leaders, and that it was
to be followed up in Texas and else
where, whenever opportunity offered.
No one will pretend to doubt the au-
: thority Of the Tribune in the premises,
and we can only account for its bold
exposition of the extensive scheme
OF riots and bloodshed designed by
the radicals, from its grieyous disap-
pointment in the sudden and efficient
manner by which the President
squelched the outbreak. It cannot
fail to be salutary warming to the
squad of revolutionists who seek to
violate the peace of the country.
We have no doubt but the prompt
action Of the authorities in New Or
leans Was very instrumental in caus-
ing the authorities in Philadelphia to
take the necessary steps for the pre-
servation of the peace in that city
during the past week. THE whole
South, as Presidentially reconstruct
ed, - we think q party safe from any
future attempts of the kind. Its re-
constructor has the nerve, ability
and power to keep it reconstructed,
despite of Jacobin cabals and plots.

The Books AND RECORDS OF THE

says the Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives has taken upon himself
what appears to be an unwarranted
liberty in permitting the removal of
the books and records of the late
session to Illinois, to suit the plea
sure and convenience of an under
clerk in writing them up. In conse-
quenco Of this, SO far as known, un-
precedented procedure, it is impos-
sible to make up statement of the
gross amount of the appropriations
of the late session. 1t is intimated
that this course has been purposely
adopted, in order to prevent the pub
lication of these immense appropria-
tions until it shall bo too late for
them to have any effect upon the ON.

COUNTERFEIT EAGLEs.-Bnt few
people in these palmy days of green
backs have any recollection Of eagles,
but for the benefit of the few who
still enjoy the acquaintance of the
bird, we subjoin description of the
new counterfeit, which Boston pa
per describes as follows:
"We have been shown a counter
felt gold eagle, SO ingeniously made
that it is calculated to defy even ex-
perts. Apparently, it is genuine, SO
far as weight and appearance are con-
ccrned, and tested by acids it would
be pronounced genuine, and even q
file, unless vigorously applied, would
not show the deception Upon break
ing open, however, the interior is
filled with small plate of platina,
and instead of being worth ten dol
lars in gold, its value is only about
one-third of that amount"

The President Endorsed by JEFF. Davis
Brother.

From the Vicksburg Herald, MGrch7.
The people of this city held a meeting last
night at the Court House to endorse President
Johnson. Federals and Confederates met on
the constitutional platform and under the old
flag. The gallant Merwin, with his armless
sleeve, presided, with the Stars and Stripes float
ing over him, and our eloquent Young friend,
Tom Manlove, made a speech which did him
honor. The resolutions are simply such as
might be expected on the occasion. They were
sustained in speeches by Hon. Walker Brooke
and others. We. cannot fail to refer to the fact
that the venerable Colonel Joseph E. Davis the
elder brother of jefferson Davis, was present on
the platform, and under the flag of the Union,
and declared that if the principles enunciated
