MISS AJGI-sTA r EvASc Mo No,

Miss AUGUsTAJ. EVANS. The New
York Netropolitm Record, speaking of
Miss Evans, says:
This celebrated Southern novelist,
whose best and latest work, est.
Elmo" has been the subject of so
much warm appreciation and carping
criticism, left our city last week, for
her homo in Mobile. During her
stay among us, Miss Evans was the
recipient OF courteous attention from
the families of many of our highest
and most eminent citizens, who we're
glad to have an opportunity Of show
ing their admiration for one whose
nobility Of character throws her in
tellect into the shade, and whose
charm OF manner secures not only
forgiveness for her erudition, but for
getfulness of it. This we consider the
greatest triumph the talented author
has yet achieved
If no one can read Miss Evans
writings without wondering at her
research, no one can enjoy her CON
versation without admiring the total
absence of pc dantry, the lack of lite
rary assumption Of any kind that
marks it throughout, the complete
subordination of the authoress to the
woman. The South may we'll be
proud OF its gifted daughter, Of her
talent, her learning, her principle,
her patriotism, the purity Of her lite
rary ambition, and the evcr-present
sense of responsibility that guides
and controls her pen. She will leave
mo line that dying she would wish
70 blot"
May She soon see her own loved
South free and happy, and live to
contribute TO its literature many q
noble lesson hidden under the pleas
ing Suise of fiction. The respect and
admiration of the friends she made
IN New York follow her to Alabama.

FREEDMEN AT WAsHINGroS. The
Agricultural Commissioner reports
shat, according to a census taken
last winter by the Freedmen's Bu-
reau. there were 81, $40 freedmen in
the District of Columbia. Since the
the census was taken, 5, 1872 of these
have made contracts with planters
and have left the District to come
South. Their departure leaves more
than 10000 still in the District; a
much larger number than can be
employed there, in the opinion Of
the Commissioner. The Bureau has
offered every inducement to them,
to make contracts and find homes
for themselves in other States, but
they prefer to remain where they
enjoy prospect of support by the
Governments Transportation was
furnished; agents were employed to
give their attention solely to getting
them off; meetings were held and
much eloquence was wasted; but all
in vain. In the language of the
report, ''there seems to be great
reluctance on the part of the major
lty to leave even the miserable
homes they have established here,
and start forth TO parts Of the coun-
try new and strange to them"

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. Many
questions have been asked concern
ing the mode of registering voters,
and there seems to be an impression
among some that it will be done
in manner similar to the listing of
taxpayers. Not SO, however, as the
following from a Washington paper,
concerning the registration of voters
in q ward in that city, will show.
After mention of the place at which
the registration was held, the article
reads thus:
"The scene was one of much in
terest. Probably two hundred per-
sons were present during the time;
each person upon being registered
passing out Of the building into the
street by a separate passage-way-
the room being divided by row of
benches, and all confusion being thus
avoided. Five challengers were pre-
sent, two white and three colored,
all old residents in the ward, and
well acquainted with those residing
therein. A police force was on hand
to preserve order should their SER
vices be required, but there appeared
to be no disposition whatever to Gre
ate disturbance Of any kind. But
comparatively few persons were
challenged. In such cases they were
first sworn, and were then required
to reply to the following interroga-
tories:
81. What is your age? 2. Have
you ever been convicted of crime?
B. How long have You resided in
this District? (. How long have
you resided in the ward? s. Have
you voted at any election in this
District or in any State within the
period of one year prior to the first
of June next? 6. Where were you
during the existence Of the rebellion?
Z. We're you in the rebel army at
any time? 8. Did you furnish sup
plies of any kind to that army? 9.
Had You any communication with
any person or persons in the rebel
States between April, 1861, and
July, 1865? 20. Were you engaged
in any kind of trade with the enemy
during the rebeliion?"

. Apathy n Crime.

There are o good many well-mean-
ing people throughout the country
who feel their sensibilities so shocked
at the humiliation put upon them by
The military bill, that they have be-
come reckless, indignant and despe-
rate as to what turns up They say,
''let them do their worst, and placing
themselves in the heroic attitude of
Ajax, when he boldly dctied the winds
OF 1Eolus and the waves of Neptune,
they button up their coats hoist their
umbrellas and wait for the deluge.
Such department is very courageous,
and is indicative of q vast amount of
fortitude, but it strikes us as unwise
and indiscreet. Ii any of these gen
tlemen were to encounter u mailman
OF furious temper and colossal size,
It might, as a question OF prudence
and self-prcservation be necessary
for the man Of sanity to humor the
insane giant and submit to the terms
which, in his blind phrcnzy, he might
impose upon his unfortunate victim.
Nor would there be any dishonor in
volved in such a course of conduct
towards madman, by a man Of pru-
dence and sagacity:
The people of the South find them
selves in just such a dilemma in deal
ing with the fanaticism which has
deluged our land with every species
Of calamity. If mad faction tenders
as terms which are enforced with the
bayonet at our throats, what volition
have we in the premises: 1t is sim
by a question of self-preservation
and every man must determine for
himself, in his OWE mind, what is
best for him and those dependent
upon him for their support and hap
piness. If wrong, grieyous and al
most insupportable, has been done
us by the exercise of power on the
part of those who hold it, how can
Ne help it? We can only leave to
.ardy justice and to posteritv the re-
dress of the injuries which have been
inflicted upon US.
We fear that many of the most es-
Unable, intelligent and honest gen
tlemen in Virginia are, just now,
victims of a mistaken sense of duty.
Inc oViuenceo vi tills are very strong
in many of the rural districts, and
may keep many thousands from the
polls at the first election which may
take place under the existing order
OF things. These errors Of judgment
should be everywhere corrected by
the press. They have nothing to do
with the question, "who shall call q
Convention?" They ydate entirely to
the 0ital matter Of eco.y respectable
erhite ooter's taxing an actire part al
The meet elections IN auiutainiaq The
Supremacy Of The achite race. Every
white voter who remains sullenly at
home gives aid and comfort to those
who will, if they triumph, make Vir-
ginia such a hell that no decent white
man can live here That's the whole
matter in a nutshell.

ENGLISH REFORM. Under the
scheme of reform proposed to Par
lament by Mr.. Disraeli, on the 25th
nltlmo, 1t is claimed by him that
40O,1j0 voters will be added to the
classes already possessing the fran
chise in Great Britain. This, how
ever, is disputed by the spokesmen
of the reform movement, such as
Bright and Gladstone. The num-
Der of persons now possessing the
right to votei in Great Britain is set
down in round numbers at 1, 200, 900,
and even If the new measure would
add 100000 it would still leave more
than 1000, 900 of the male popula-
ton Of that country without the
right to vote.

TONS TO BE
INCUMBENTs OF OFFICES TO HOLD
OvER.-On Saturday, Mcssrs. Saun
ders, Lee and Scott, members of the
City Council. visited Gen. Schofeld.
informally and unof1icially, to learn
his wishes and intentions as to the
municipal election Of the city of
Richmond, which, in due course of
law, should be held on the Sd Of
April next, and the order for the
holding of which has already been
issued by the City Council. Their
visit was in every respect pleasant t
and satisfactory. Gen. Schofield said
he thought it better that no elections
should be held in the State until after
the registration of voters should be
completed; this course would obviate
excitement and confusion. But he
much preferred that the State author
tiles themselves should postpone the
elections of their own motion, and
not leave the duty to him to perform.
He had ordered the postponement of
the municipal elections of Freder-
lcksbllrg and Portsmouth, but
thought it desirable that the local
or State authorities should manage
the matters themselves, where they
could do so.
The Intelligence, says: The recent
order of General Schofield. so re-
spectful to the people Ct Virginia,
and regardful of their feelings, is the
best possible negative to the libels
upon them, which are even now used
to tire the Northern heart. Referring
to the subject, the Richmond Dis
patch has occasion, we are glad to say,
for using the following language:
'SWe find that the rigors of the
situation are mitigated by the official
good sense of Il gentleman. No un-
provoked and unnecessary harshness
has marked the Inauguration of an
absolute military despotism in Vir-
glIla. The temple of our civil liber-
ties has not been demolished by q
brief order. No civil officer has been
disturbed in the faithful discharge of
his duties. The sword has not been
drawn, nor the military dictator in
augurated amid blast of trumpets,
the roar of cannon, the clash of
sabres, and the shouts of the sol
diery. Governors, legislators and
judges perform their functions with
assurances of aid and protection in
the discharge OF their legitimate du-
ties

SOMETHING Wrong IN TENNE.

SOMETHING WRONG IN TENNESSEE.
\ resolution has passed the House
OF Represent tatives: instructing the
Secretary Of War to furnish the
State Government of Tennessee
with arms and equipments sufficient
for $500 militia. Governor Brown
low has declared his determination
to employ that number of militia as
an adjunct to his Government, and
has threatened to ''make it hot"
for those who have the hardihood to
oppose his course of management.
Such Governor, with such means of
mischief, will hardly fail to produce
serious trouble. 1t is q singular
fact that Tennessee, which Congress
singled out as a special pet and IA
vorite, has been the scene of more
disorder and difficulty since the war
ended than have occurred in all the
excluded States. While the latter
have been quiet and orderly, recon
structed Tennessee has been con-
stantly agitated bylocal disturbances.
Lawlessness has been carried to such
an extent that the condition of things
has been akin to anarchy, and the
prospect for the future is far lom en-
couraging. The lesson which all this
teaches is that such political charla-
tans as Brownlow should not be en-
trusted with the responsible and i'm
portant work of leading the South
ern States through the mazes of re-
organization. .-Ner Yorh, San.

THE CoLLEcTIoN OF DEBTS. We
learn from q gentleman in attendance
on Richmond Superior Court this
week, that Judge Fowle paid no re-
gard to the stay law passed by the

but his ruling in regard to the col
lection of debts was, that where the
defendant paid one-tenth, the pro
ceedings We're stayed until spring
term, 1868, in accordance with the
ordinance Of the Convention; but
when the defendant did not pay one
tenth, attorneys were permitted to
put i'll pleas which stood for trial at
spring term, 1868, so that collection
could not be forced until spring term,
1869, in no event.

SPREAD THE TRUvu.-

Sf1&EAD The I1SCVH.-SOmC mcdi-
cal men insist that it is undigniticd to ad-
vcrtlsc remedy, however valuable it NAV
be. Queer reasoning this. 1t is like say
ing that an article which the world needs
should be hid in a corner-that benefits
and blessings may be too widely difused-
that the means of protecting and restoring
health should be close monopolv. and
not accessible to all. The argument is
bad. 1t is worse than that--it is inhuman.
Suppose HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TERS-an absolute specific for dyspepsia,

never been known beyond the repertoire of

sequence? Instead Of curing and invigo-
rating millions, the good effects of the
preparation would have been confined to
comparative few. There is the highest
authority for saying that light should not
be hid under a bushel; that whatever is
excellent should be placed as city on a
hill, where all men can take cognizance of
it. 1t is upon this principle that the BIT
