B6s- An Irish sailor, as he was riding,
made pause the horse, in beating Of

The "War of Races"

The United States District Court met at
Norfolk, Va, on the 9Th inst. The following
passage from Judge Underwood's charge to
the Grand Jury is plea for law and order
and fearless denunciation of wrong-doing,
which not only honors the speaker, but digni-
fies the legal profession. We copy from the
Washington Chronicle:
To our shame and disgrace it must be admit
ted that SO far as we are advised, every one of
the numerous conflicts of races which have oc-
Cured In this State during the past year has
Deen me Wdnt0r and unproUoked Work of aoicked
Dnate men upon poor, quiet, unoffending and,
IN most cases, unarmed and unresisting colOred
people. Why should we murder, rob, or inter-
rupt them, burn their schoOl-hOuses and church
es, insult and attack the teachers, who in the
cause OF improvement and elevation and Chris
tian charity have come to us from the ever
friendly North, in the same spirit that brought
them in 1856 to this devoted city, when the
scourge of yellow fever was here in its wrath
Let us not forget that then as now it was to the
North and its generous people that we had to
look in our want for aid and assistance. Unless
q stop is put to such violence and outrage upon
the freedmen, we can never expect relief from
the presence of Northern bayonets, and admis-
mission to the rights and privileges of the Fed
eral Union; but we shalT become the byword
and scOrn of the whole civilized world. We
shall be considered barbarians, and be justly
excluded from the sympathies of all Christian
men. 1t is your duty, gentlemen of the jury,
to see to it that people who were loyal and
true to the nations flag IL the time of trial and
danger shall be protected against the persecu-
ton of those who, fresh from scenes of treason
and rebellion, are pursuing their victims with
most internal hate, for no apparent reason, ex-
cept their fidelity and devotion to the country.

Certainly!

The Press must admit the rebellion is over.
HOW II can say, nobody now proposes to de-
prive the Southern States of their equal repre-
sentation IN the Senate, is more than we can
comprehend, when everybody knows, as the
Press must, that they are kept out of their re-
presentation III both branches of Congress on
d joint 00te Of the t,o0 Houses Will the Press
explain now 1t derives its conclusion, that now
the rebellion is over, Nobody proposes to de-
prive them the Southern States of an equal
voice at Washingtonw We want a reply.-Ad-
UertiSer.
We reply with great pleasure, that Congress
is now busy perfecting measures to enable the
Southern delegates to resume their seats at
the Capitol. of course, when Vermont, for
instance, was deprived of her equal repre-
sentation In the Senate by the. death of Sen
ator Foot, there was brief interim before
the new Senator could take the vacant chair /;
there are certain appointed formaities not to
be disregarded. When the vacancy is made
by rebellion, one would suppose that the pro-
cess of Reinstatement might naturally enough
occupy a longer than time the familiar process
which ordinary vacancies are filled. But we
repeat, and the Advertiser ought to know,
that nobody has proposed to exclude the
Southern States from representation. Their
de;egates will be admitted as soon as the ne
cessary legislation can be had

the plewo-pneumoni faDy reliance can be
placed on the testimony of the owner and
neighbors as to the symptoms; and the state
ments of two intelligent physicians as to the
post norton appearance, who examined inc
two animals which were killed by order OF the
Selectmen. In both cases the lungs were
found quite healthy.
The disease, though rapidly fatal, probably
had local origin, and not having spread be-
yond this herd, there is no evidence OF its be-
inc infectious. Yet for greater safety the re-
ma;nder of the herd is kept quite isolated from

bludgeon, the knife and the pistol,-ready to
smite and burn and slay in the work of "put-
ting them down?'' But the subject is too
awful for irony. Unless the whole country
would share in the blood-guiltiness of these
naneless horrors, it should lay to its heart the
lesson they teach, and act accordingly.
A friend at the North advises, ssIf you are
conscious of having committed, either in
thought, word Or deed, any. political sin of
whatsoever kind during the last five wears.
you had better seek tor pardon while the par
doning power is SO near, and so easy to be en-
treated" The public are welcome to advice
SO wise and timely. Verify, dissolution was
never so cheap before-no, not even in the
days of Tetzel. Nor need distance be any
hindrance. Said Mr.. Ingersoll in the House
the other day, referring to political sinners,
"If they cannot apply for pardon personally,
an application through the maip-
"Or female" raped in member who had
not forgotten the achievements of the notori-
Gus Mrs. Cobb in the practice of her trade as
prccuress of pardons, with quickness and
keenness not very common in Congressional
wit. 1t is not worth while, nowadays, how
ever, to pay ones money for any microscopy
influence, male or female. A leading journal,
zealously attached to the administration of
the President, gravely announced the other
day that "The President is ordering but few
warrants for pardons to those participating in
tho lafo rohollior cY,f1aiov,f ho
| allowed for the execution of those already Or
dered." Inceed! Are we then to understand
that the only limit to the Presidents clemen-
cy is the amount of clerical work which can
be accomplished in filling out pardon warrants
by the force at his command? Who will here
after celebrate the clemeney of Caesar? Sc
riously, is it not about time tohaye done with
this mummeryp Even as farce it has be-
come too stale to amuse anybody.

copperhead press, on account of his views of
the condition Of the Southern States and peo-
pie, given to the public IN volume recently
issued from the press of Ticknor 6 Fields,
and more recently in his testimony before the
Reconstruction Committee. From these high
ly complimentary attentions-they certainly
are SO considering the source from which they
come-he can hardly wish to be defended. I
accept the occasion, however, to bear testimo-
ny to the high character and talents of this
gentleman. He is not merely man of truth

Of the correctness of his observations in the

The New York ANNIVERSARIES.


The anniversaries are over. The reports
show larger receipts than in former years, and
greater tendency toward evangelical religion
The Tract Society is extending its operations !;
the Missionary organizations report financial
prosperity; the Anti-Slavery Society is still
resolute in purpose to destroy slavery; and the
Woman's Rights Association has had more
successful anniversary than ever. Henry
Ward Beecher and Theodore Tilton Of the In
dependent spoke upon their platform beside
Wendell Phillips and Stephen S. Foster; and
the society now called the National Equal
Rights Association is going forth conquering
and to conquer the ballot for women as for
men. In the language of their president, Mrs.
E. Cady Stanton, they want women to be in
office, on health BOARDS police commission
ers and the like. Ifthey should become pol
icemen likewise, there might be some fun be-
ing arrested occasionally.

The Memphis Riot-Temper Of the Whites.
The following from the Memphis Argus of
May Sd, is very fair indication of the devil
ish spirit which animates large portion Of
the people of that city, and also Of the charac-
ter of newspaper claiming to be loyal:
This is the bloom of chill ,'ights-what the
fruit will be, God alone can tell. If things
progress long as they haye done for the past
two days, there will be but few "darkies" left
in this city to tell of franchise" and "ciyil
rights"
Those negroes killed on Tuesday were still
lying in the streets at 1.30 yesterday. The
fireman Mr. DUNN and the two policemen
thames unknown) were buried yesterday with
much ceremony. The other white men who
were killed, we suppose, were taken by their
friends; the wounded have been well cared
for.
It's estimated that fourteen or fifteen ne
groes were killed yesterday, and one or two
wounded. The total in killed and wounded
is as follows, from the best information we can
gather: Whites-killed, 3; wounded A. Ne
groes-killed, near 20; wounded 3; captured,
8; misslng-we wish it could be said all.
The Memphis Post, loyal paper, declares
that the number here given as killed and
wounded of the negroes is very much under
stated, also that the story about two police
men names unknown) being buried is utterly
without foundation. The Post adds:
Henry Dunn, who was killed at the begin
ming of the riot, is the only white man who
has, at this time of writing, died, except Mr..
Dennis, who was murdered in most brutal
manner by another white man in bar-room
on Wednesday. Two or three policemen

Mr.. Doolittle, like Gen. Lee, does not read
the newspapers. He refused to yield the floor
to Senator Howe the other day, to listen to an
extract from newspaper, alleging that "latter
ly they had SO much abused his course that he
had ceased to read them" Mr. Doolittle has
probably ceased to read the proceedings of the
Wisconsin Legislature, for the same reason.

Lincoln and johnson.

The supporters of Andrew johnson are
fond of declaring that his "policy" is identi-
cal with that of President Lincoln, and they
adduce this as an unanswerable argument in
its favor. The trick is shrewd one, certainly,
since the reverent affection in which the peo-
DE hold the memory of their martyred ruler
could hardly fail to invest with some degree
of sacredness any plan or purpose which
they believed him to have had at heart. But
in this case they know better. They fully
appreciate the difference not only in the men,
but in the effect of their conduct. President
Lincoln was cordially hated by the rebels and
their copperhead sympathizers, whereas Mr..
johnson is their special idol. The New York
Nation, referring to this argument, says:
The argument is falacious in several points.
1t is not true that the people meant to en-
dorse all that Mr.. Lincoln ever did or said by
re-electlng him, Even the convention which
nominated him by reclamation was opposed
to some important features of his policy, and
adopted resolutions which were designed to
modify his course. Hundreds OF thousands
voted for him cheerfuly who disapproved OF
some of his actions, and were anxious that
they should not be made presidents. The
same men voted to re-elect members of
Congress who had differed widely from some
of his views. The people had great conf
dence in Mr.. Lincoln's honesty, patriotism,
and general wisdom; and knowing that it
would be impossible to find any man whose
conduct in the same position would be fault
less, they judiciously resolved to continue in
office one in whom they could trust for most
purposes, whom they could influence by their
will, and whom they knew to be always true
to his sense of duty, and willing to receive
light from any quarter.
Mr.. Lincoln's tractability was one great
cause of his popularity. He never boosted
that he was too old to change his opinions
Accordingly, the most radical were willing to
support him, confident that time and the logic
of events would bring him to the right side
If he was not in advance of his party, he was
at any rate not far behind, and no one feared
that he would betray either his party or his
country. E4
Mr.. Lincoln had no cast-iron policy of re-
construction. The very ground upon which
he refused to sign the bill passed by Congress
upon that subject was that he did not believe
it safe to adopt any infexible policy. He pre-
ierred to await further developments, and to
make no decisions in advance of the necessity
for them. Nothing can be more absurd than
to cite his example in support of the effort
now made to thrust rebels into power under
an infiexible and infaIHble "plan."

mind" to desert State relations aud friends, and

York Tribune asks:
"Does Mr.. Blair insinuate that Robert r. Lee
has more 9 noble mind" than George H. Thomas
or David g. Farragut?p
1t looks very much like it, Mr. Greeley. We
positively assert that Cen Lees nobility Of mind
as far transceuds that of Thomas or Farragut as
the sun does a tallow candle. The verdict of a
world throughout all time will ratify our declara-
ton We have very contemptuGus opinion of
Greeley but we doubt whether he could find it 10
his heart, IF he were fighting character to
draw sword against New York.
