New Orleans was much excited over ru-

forth opinions and communications from

noticeable fact thai most of the old soldiers

construction after the plan proposed by
Congress.

Congress and the effort that will be
made to force through extreme meas

ring to the reconstruction question,
remarks:
1--WE dread to reopen this question, be-
cause with it comes uncertainty and
unrest, 'eyerishness, endless n angry
discussions. We find a sentiment in the
West that has expression in a few misera-
bic, jobbing n-ewspapers-a kind of a
tn nader feeling. A number of office
heggars and politicians, calling themselves
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
meeting in out of the way places witt,
grips and pass words, are passing resola-
tions demanding confiscation and farms.

L. s. BERRY, first Vice President
of the late Republican State Conyen-
ton of Alabama, and eight other col
ored men of Mobile, have addressed
an appeal to General SwAYNE, setting
forth the condition Of the colored
people of Mobile, politically and 9TH
'erwise. They declare they are denied
rights in courts, and many odious
provisions Of the State code, to all in
tents, remain in full force to their
oppression. The Civil Rights bill
has secured no practical good to the
'colored race, and is a dead letter.

The CABLE DISPATCHES. - Some
excitement has been created in bust
ness circles in New York by the dis
covery that telegraph operators and
errand boys have been bribed to Sc
cure the early delivery of news by the
Atlantic telegraph to certain parties
and delay its transmission to certain
other parties, by means of which a
few individuals gained important adj
vantages at the stock board and in
the general markets. The discovery
is also said to have been made that the
dispatches of the Associated Press,
which are sent in cipher, after being
translated at the New York Office and
sent to the other larger cities, were
photographed from Boston to private
parties in New York for speculative

> THE ENGLISH QUAKERs.-The So
ciety of Friends recently held their
yearly meeting in London. Their
membership numbers 6,474 males and
1872 females; total 1876. Besides
these they reckon 1852 persons who
habitually attend their meetings, but
are not members of the Society. 1t
was stated that the standard of edu-
cation among them now occupies a
higher position than it has since the
last half of the seventeenth century,
when the number of college bred
Friends was larger than at any
other period in their history. The
meeting manifested its interest in the
freedmen ofthe United States, and
~re-asserted the position of the Society
with reference to war. The Friends
have always refused to pay ecclesias-

the club of that city, the following

fairly concluded that they have been

between an enthusiastic admirer and

Peter Kerns and Zephyr Bloom went to
Louisville together, where both of them
drank considerable-Kern probably much
more than Bloom. They returned to this
city rear seven O'Clock in the evening,
and going to Finly's barber shop, Kerns
asked to have his boots blacked and his
hair combed. To this Finly replied I'm
going to shut up; it's the Fourth.of July:
get OUT This was every word that was
spoken. Kerns and Bloom walked out of
the shop, Bloom ahead. Finly follow
ed TO the door, and just as Kerns
stepped pom the pavement he drew
a revolver from a side pocket in his coat,
TOOK a moments aim, discharged the
weapon. and the bali went crushing
through Finly's heart. These are all the
words spoken and all the circumstances
connected with the commission of this,
the foulest, most devilish murder commit
tel in New Albany for the past forty years.
Upon being shot, Ffnly suddenly turned
around and walked quickly into the back

The Presidency.

Several of our contemporaries, en-
tirely ~forgetful of the great blunder
committed by several of us in making
a Vice President Of ANDY JOHNSON,
by urging his nomination in advance
of the National Convention, are al
ready urging the claims Of various po-
litical aspirants. The Madison Cou-
rier, and Valparaiso Vdete and Re
publican, are favoring the nomination
of MI. CoLFAx, and other papers are
laboring equally enthusiastically for
Gov. MORTON. Our own opinion is,
that we will all have ample time and
opportunity to make a judicious Sc
lection for our candidate for Presi-
dent, without exciting ourselves this
hot weather, so long in advance of
the assembling of the next National
Convention. That our readers, how
ever. may know the views o the Con-
rier and V;dette, we copy what they
have to say on this subject.
The Courier says:
"Mr. Speaker Colfax has served
his State as Representative with sig
nal ability for nine consecutive ses-
sions In Congress, and the arduous
duties of Speaker for two terms very
satisfactorily, proving large abilities
as an executive officer. He has al
ways been a consistent politician, and
has the confidence of the majority in
Congress and of the Union party in
the country"
The Vdette and Republican says
of him in regard to the candidacy for
the Presidency:
Nor can the American people
ever forget that through all those
great and good Lincoln so marvel
ously piloted the ship of State amid
the surges of rebellion, his trusted
friend and confdant. upon whose adj
vice and counsel he so constantly
leaned, was Schuyler Colfax. And
we know that when, in 1866, Andrew
johnson had apostatized from the
party which elected him, when
trimmers and time-servers among
our national politicians were fall
ing away from tie great doc
trines of liberty, when the true friends
of the country felt that the crisis was
terrible, that ruin was inevitable then
In aiserenade speech made at Wash
at the commencement of the
Thirty ninth Congress in November,
1865, Mr.. Colfax raised the key note
Of that campaign against the nefari-
Gus policy of the President, which
Congress carried to such a triumphant
success at the polls in 1866, and which
now, in the reconstruction policy of
the party in power, is working put
such grand and beneficent results in
the States lately in rebellion.
And we hesitate not to avow our
conviction hal from first to last.
all the years of strife forced
upon the nation by treason, no man
has done more to render treason obi
Jus and to make love of the Union
glorious, no pan in all the broad land
has been truer to liberty, to human
to faithful and impartial JUS
ice than Mr.. Colfax."
