The Crop FafIure-Distress-R Robbery
and Alarm iR the Country.

Thc Crop FafIure-Distress-R Robbery
and Alarm tR the Country.
From the New Orleans Times, sth
Serious Int well authenticated accounts
reach MS from the country districts re-
speeding the increasing poverty, desolation
and desperation Of the people, and espe-
cially Of the negroes. The unprecedented
failure of every kind of cultivation has
placed very large class of the negroes on
the verge of starvation. IL is driving them
70 acts of desperation and wholesale rob-
berry, which are rapidly consuming what is
left on the plantations from the general
wreck. Stock of every description are
rapidly disappearing. The planters find
il impossible TO guard, OF save even, their
mich cows and brood animals With
ont money or employment the negroes
find il impossible to obtain meat or
bread, and they take to the woods or
highways, and seize and appropriate
every live animal they can find.
They even set traps for cattle and hogs.
Leagued together in clubs and associa.
tions, they are encouraged in their depre-
daiions by a confidence in their ability TO
resist any attempt TO arrest OF punish them.
These acts are not instigated by political
passions or influences, nor have they any
political aim or purpose, though the con-
dition which prompts them in their des-
perate course has been largely due 20 po-
litical causes. The general failure Of the
cultivation this season is attributable TO
the Incidence and indifference and care
lessness into which they we're seduced in
the spring by the promises of Radical
emissaries that farms, agricultural imple-
nrents and stock would be given them by
the government. But they have got we'll
over this infaiuation, and now il As actual
want and starvation which is driving them
TO desperate aud lawless acts, and is pro-
dncing deep and widespread feeling OF
alarm and anxiety in the country. We

reliable character, and trust they may at

LOtTHE POOH NEGRO.

A friend of the Jackson Wing says the
following incident came under his obserYa-
ton in Carroll county, Mississippi,
recently:
Old Mr.. ", large planter in that
county, who gave employment this year to
one hundred freedmen, having determined
to reduce his force, called all his employees
mp few mornings ago, and acquainted
them with his intention. He then selected
twenty of the best hands and offered to
give the men 81, and to the women "a per
month and board for their services next.
year. He told them to think about it, and
give him an answer next day.
Bright and early next morning the.
favored twenty made their appearance and
expressed their readiness to accept the
proposition that had been offered. During
the day large number of those not in.
cluded in the proposition came to Mr.. V.
and asked to be allowed to remain and
work on the plantation for their victuals
and clothes, bat their services were
declined,

yHE NEW aRTTTsH MTNGsrER.

- Edward Thornton, G. b, has been APP
pointed and has accepted the post of Min
lister of Great Britain to the United States
in the place of the late Sir Frederick
Bruce. Mr.. Thornton, who is the son of
the late Sir Edward Thornton, commenced
his official career about twenty-five years
ago as an attache of tine British Minister
to Turin. In the year 1S45 he was APP
pointed paid atache at Mexico, and in
1851, Secretary of Legation TO the republic
of Mexico From April, 1852, till 0cto-
Der, 1853, he was Secretary to the late Sir
Charles Hotham's special mission TO. the
river Platte. In May, 1854, he received
the appointment of charge Rafaiyes and
Consul General to the republic of New
Grenada, but did not proceed to Bogota,
and in September of the same year he was
transferred to the Oriental republic of
Uruguay. He filled that post for five
years, at the end of which period
he was appointed Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to the Argentine Republic. On
the 9th of July, 1865, he was sent
on a special mission to the Emperor of
Brazil, and on the 10th of August follow
ing, was appointed Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary to the EN-
peror of Brazil, from which post he has
lust been recalled to take the place of
British Minister to the United States. 1t
will thus be seen that twenty-five years of
Mr.. Thornton's official career have been
on this continent, in different diplomatic
capacities. In February, 1868, he was
made a Companion of the Honorable Order
of the Bath, the distinction being conferred
upon him as mark of his sovereign's APP
prevail of the ability and fidelity with
which he had discharged the duties of the
several offices he had successfully filled in
his country's service. Mr. Thornton bears
a Portuguese title of nobility-Count of
Cassilhas--to which be succeeded on the
death of his father, upon whom the title
was conferred by King John VI. of Por-
tugal for three lives, his own being one,
and the other to be accomplished in his
descendants in direct and legitimate line
but the license granted by George ",
permitting Sir Edward to accept the title,
forbids him, or his heirs, assuming or using
it in the British dominions.

As we are advised by telegraph, Judge

ought TO lssne, and that MmLIGAN was en-
titled TO be discharged; that the trial by
Military Commission was contrary TO law.
That rs acitlzen Of Indiana, which was not
in rebellion, and not being Ia the military
service, he was amenable only to civil law,
and not military law ;that one of the plain
est OF constitutional provisions, was yio-
lated, when lac was tried by court not
authorized and ordained by law, and an
other guaranty OF freedom was broken
when he was denied a trial by jury. The
first two questions were answered atIlrma-

to third question, holding it to be within
the power of Congress in time of danger or
Invasion, TO determine in what states or

In the course Of the proceedings It Is re-
marked that the Constitution ia a law for

tion all classes OF men ut all times aud

Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy
and despotism, and the theory of necessity i'm
which It is based Is FALSE.

! The suggestion, contained in the resolu-
tion of the Democratic County Convention,
of franklin, which was passed at their
meeting, on Saturday last, that the Ohio
Legislature, during its next session-which
will be under way again during the week
shall submit to the people of Ohio, at the
next annual election, in plain terms, n prop
osition TO vote whether or no they are in
favor OF enfranchising negroes and making
them political equals, is certainly worthy
of special attention, aud we hope that when
the Democracy shall meet, on that mem
orable day they viii not fail to cmphati-
cally resolve to that effect.
IL majority of the people of Ohio are in
favor of extendingto our present aud pros
pectiyc negro population the political
rights which are involved in the elective
franchise, then will it not be admirably
proper for them to have Il legal opportu-
nifty 10 so express the sentiment and so
incorporate it into the obligation of lawY
The people of Ohio have sent their repre-
sentatives into the two branches of Con-
gress nearly all of whom have been striving
to force negro suffrage upon certain States
where slavery lately existed, but who, so
far, have been careful to avoid forcing it
rs an issue upon their olOn constituents.
The impudence OF the thing would not be
half so offensive. were they to make it a
home mdtteI'-that without negro suffrage,
Ohio should be recognized ia Congress
only in a subordinate or Territorial con-
dition.
1t is claimed, by the Radicals of Ohio,
that the negro must become an elector in
Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia, and
other late Slave States; then why shall he
not be here. We can extend him the priv
ilegc here if we will; but to refuse it to
him here and interpose for him there. Is
simply contemplate insOlence and knayish
trickery. 1t Is claimed, too, that refusing
the ballot to Cuify is the chief block in the
way of IL speedy return of peace, fraternity
and general prosperity, throughout the
country; that that awarded, then all sec
tional strites shall cease and old animosites
be healed and forgotten.
If the Radicals are sincere in this, there
fore, they cannot shrink from or shirk the
responsibility of presenting the test, as it
has been suggested and as it undoubtedly
will be urged.
We thank the Democracy of Franklin for
their timely movement in 50 important
matter, and we trust that the press of the
State generally win not fail to give ita re
view.
