Change of Policy.

The President year ago, upheld subor-

not desire any man in the employ of the
Government to contribute portion of his

THE " EXCHANGE HOTEL" RALEIGH, N.
Give have received the circular of J. M
Blair announcing that he has become the
proprietor of the above named Hotel, and
inviting US to sojourn with him if we should
have occasion to visit Raleigh. The Ex-
change is one of the largest and most COM
modious houses in the Southern country, and
Mr.. Blair, who was formerly the proprietor
of the Mountain House" at Asheville, N.
c., has the reputation of being one of the
best hotelkeepers in the State. We have no
hesitation in saying to our friends and the
public generally, from our own knowledge
of the house, and the high reputation of Mr..
Blair as hotel-keeper, that should they
think proper to stop with him, he will make
them feel perfectly at home while at his
american.
Mr.. Blair deserves much credit for his en-
terprise in establishing and conducting
first class public house. Travellers and So
journers will find themselves most agreeably
entertained at the Exchange Hotel. Mr..
Blair is indefatigable in his attentions to the
wants of his guests, and he is well sustained
by his polite and gentlemanly Clerk, Mr.. T.
H. Ramsey.

The Richmond Enquirer, which still glories
in the right of secession, will not be satisfied
with the admission of the Southern members
to Congress. 1t says:
"The admission of Southern representa-
tives in Congiess, though of deep interest to
the South, is not the main point to be gained
IN order to the restoration of peace and har-
mony. Something underlies that and all its
relations. 1t is the re-establishnent of the
equality of citizenship, and the restoration
OF the political equilibrium. The battle for
this is to be fought in the Northern States,
and the President has inaugurated the wisest
means to gain victory. The South is unani-
nous in his support"

The New.Orleans Riot.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune telegraphs as follows to
that paper:
"Gen. Baird's official report of the massacre
was forwarded yesterday by Gen. Sheridan
to Gen. Grant with respectful demand that
it be made public. The report embraces a
history of all the circumstances connected
with the massacre, and proves conclusively
that it was preconcerted and prearranged by
the Rebel Mayor, J. T. Monroe, the Lieuten-
ant-Governor, and Others interested in break
ing up the Convention. The report is also
vindication of the course pursued by Gen.
Baird, who claims to have taken every pre-
caution consistent with the facts then known
to him, and, but for the treachery of the po-
lice and Rebel City and State officials, it is
claimed that the precaution taken would
have been sufficient The medical officer de-
tailed to make an official report of the killed
and wounded presented the names in full to-
gether with the character of the wounds re-
ceived by the following parties, viz. Mem
bers of the Convention killed and 8
wounded, or one-third of the members pres
ent /; white citizens attending the Conven-
ton, killed and wounded total number
of whites killed and wounded, 30. Colored
citizens attending the Convention-killed. "a :;
wounded, 119 total of colored killed and
wounded, 153. OF the police, there were 10
slightly wounded, most of whom were on du-
ty the next day. One white citizen with the
Police was killed. The evidence shows that
the man was accidently shot by the Police :;
also, that in the excitement many of the Po-
lice were wounded by their comrades. In
addition to the above, the Doctor reports 10
colored plen killed and 20 wounded, whose
names he could not ascertain From the
best information at hand, am forced to be-
heve that there were great many more killed
and wounded among the colored people than
have been officially reported by DR.. Hartsuff.
Many of the wounded are secreted in out of
the way places, and it would be impossible
to get all of their Names"

WHEREAS, a war is existing in the Republic
of Mexico, aggravated by foreign military
! Intervention
And whereas the United States, in accor-
dance with their settled habits and policy,
are neutral Power i'll regard to the war
which thus affiicts the Republic of Mex
! leo;
And whereas it has become known that
one of the belligerents in the said war-name-
ly, the Prince Maximilian-who asserts him
self to be Emperor in Mexico, has issued a
decree in regard to the port of Matamoros,
and other Mexican ports which are in the
occupation and possession of another of the
said belligerents-namely the United States
of Mexico-which decree is in the following
words:
'sThe port of Matamoros, and all those of
the Northern Frontier, which have with
drawn from their obedience to the Govern
ment are closed to foreign and coasting traf-
fic during such time the law of the
empire shall not be therein reinstated

the said ports on arriving at any other where
the excise of the empire is collected, shall
pay the duties on importation, introduction,
and consumption, and on satisfactory proof
of contravention, shall be irremissibly con-
fiscated Our Minister of the Treasury is
charged with the punctual execution of this
decree.
"Given at Mexico, the 9th of July, 1867
And whereas the decree thus recited, by
declaring belligerent blockade unsupport-
ed by competent military naval force, is
in violation of the neutral rights of the Unit
ed States, as defined by the law of nations,
as we'll as of the treaties existing between
the United States of America and the afore-
said United States Of Mexico:
Now, therefore, I, ANDREW JOHNSON, Pre-
sident of the United States, do hereby pro-
claim and declare, that the aforesaid decree
is held, and will be held, by the United
States, to be absolutely null and void, as
against the Government and citizens of the
United States and that any attempt which
shall be made, to enforce the same against
the Government or citizens of the United
States will be disallowed.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set

MEssRs. EDITORS Accepting the invita-
ton of the teacher, Mr.. Leland, attended
an examination last week of the school of
colored children held in the Southeastern por
ton of the City, at the Nevill Church.
The pupils, numbering eighty ranged in
age from twenty to six years-but there pro-
badly were exceptions either way, some older
and some younger. Mr.. Leland has been en-
gagged in teaching different schools in this
vicinity for about year, and the present
school was made up of scholars from the
other schools which had closed their sessions
for the present. The scholars had been un-
der his training about seven weeks, and the
majority of them commenced their alphabe:
year ago. Some commenced since, Others
were partially instructed before.
The exercises consisted in reading, SPELL
ing and defining, geography, arithmetic and
grammar. The different classes were called
up and examined in reading, in which the
majority had acquired remarkable proficien-
cy, considering the short period since which
they were first engaged in acquiring the ru-
diments of learning. In arithmetic and ge-
ography especially, they displayed their apt
ness for instruction. In grammar, spelling
and defining some were very proficient, 9TH
ers not remarkably so. do not desire to
bestew indiscriminate praise, but venture to
assert that few of our white population are
aware of the remarkable stride In learning
made by the colored children IN our midst
during the past year.
1 was informed that many of the older
scholars present were studying to become
teachers. They were all tidily dressed and
exceedingly well-behaved; and Mr.. Leland
seemed to govern with firm kindness, which
commanded the respect of his pupils.
SC a
cannot be long before every one will perceive
it plainly, in the more intelligent faces and
correct language of our colored population.
