sEvERE.-The New York Day Book has the fol.
lowing scathing satire Oh the folly Of the American

people
It is the fashion, just now, to represent the
country RS fourishing beyond all precedent in our
or any other nations history, and it is claimed
that Europe net only stands in awe of us, but is
extremely desrous to learn all it can from our su
perior knowledge, enterprise, &c.
Now, when we reflect that the abolition party in
power is the tool Of European monarchists, crea-
ted by them for the sole purpose o. overthrowing
republican institutions; and that they have, to o
great extent, accomplished their mission, and
are working like beavers to s'rcfor,n" the Con-
stitution, and ,lot out utterly the work Of Wash
ington, it is ridiculous rs i. is said to see tho
monarchists patting them on their heads, and tell
ing them what smart fellows the yankees" are.

is said, really wants to make him knight as we'll

A Negro Applies for Admission to a Georgia
Bar.
We copy as follows from the Savannah Repu6li-

We copy as follows from the Savannah iteph0ta-
can of Friday:
Superior Court, Chatham, County Your humble
petitioner, Aaron A: Bradley (colored), comes and
and immunity to practice law. Because your pc
titioner is a full member of the Superior Court
or the State of Maine, and full faith aud credit
shall be given in each State to judcial proceedings
OF every other State" Article 4, Constitution
United States.
Also, articleG says this is "tlle supreme law of
tho land, and the judges i'll every State shall be
bound thereby; anything in tho Constitution or
laws of the State to the contrary Notwithstanding.
And your petitioner further submits to this lloll
orable court tho opinion of the Sapreme Court OF
the United States, December term, 1866, page 423,
in these words, to wit: "But If he ranks as cti-
zen OF the State to which he belongs, within tho
meaning of the Constitution of the United States,
stituton clothes him, as to the rights of person,
with all the privileges aud mmunities which be-
long to the citizens Of the State"
"Aild if persons of the African race are citizens
Of the State and Of the United States, they would
be entitled to all OF these privileges and immuni-
them, for they would hold these privileges and
immu,iites under tho paramount authority of tho
Federal Government and its courts would be
bound to maintain and enforce them. And if the
States could limit or restrict thenl or place the
party in all inferior grade, this clause Of tho Con-
stitution would be unlneaning, and could have no
operation. This is evidently not the construction
or meaning Of tho clause in question. It guaran-
tees rights to the citizens, and the State cannot
withhold them" Page 423.
Your humble petitioner, therefore, comes and
prays this honorable court to grant him the privi
lege and immunity Of practicing law in the Co IL
ty Of Chatham, and State OF Georgia.
AARON hLPIERA brady, Atty.
The laws of Georgia do not authorize or contcnl-
plate the admission Of persons Of color to the Bar,
and as this is matter entirely of internal police
aid municipal regulations, over which this State
has absolute and exclusive jurisdiction, it is my
deliberate judgment that this court has no power
to grant the thin petition, the petitioner being
person of color. W. B. FLEMING,
Judge e. D. Georgia.

Tho Disturbnncc on Plantation near Sn-

vannnh Terminated.
The Savannah Ne,5s and Herald, of yesterday
morning, has the following account Of the manner
in which the difficulty on the CHEYEs' Plantation,
opposite that city, WAS brought to an cnd
TEE DIFFICULTY ON THE DELTA PLANTATION SETTLED.
AS We suspected, the difficulty on the Della Plan
tation has been greatly exaggerated, and the dis
content and turbulence Of few misguided freed
men has been magnifed into formidable insur-
rection. For this the public are indebted to the
nlischievous intormeddlilg OF q negro emiasary,
Of the lately emancipated slaves than themselves,
and to sensation molgers who have given currency
to unfounded rumors and reports. The following
we believe, is about the upshot of the whole mat
ter, as ascertained by our reporter:
General R. Z. Scott, commanding the District
of South Carolina, arrived here about two O'Clock
yesterday morning, on the steamer Pilot Boy,
from Charleston. About nine O'clock the General.
disorder, taking with them the negro Bradley the
reputed adviser nnd counsellor Of the freedmen on
Mr. Cheres' plantation.
Our reporter understands from General Scott
that the whole trouble has been moro ima ginary
than real, and that the only arms the negroes had
were clubs. When he arrived on the plantation,
they met him without any show of resistance, but
said they had beon instructed that they could not
be removed from the lands for two years. Some
Of them had boon bern on tho plantation and
thought thoy had q hfo estate in it. The General
told them differently informing them that the
condition of things had changed; that they were
now free to work where they pleased and for whom
they pleased, but that they could not occupy the
lands without the consent Of tho owner.
After talking some two hours to the negroes,
answering their questions and giving them some
good adyice some Of them expressed their wiling
ness To contract with the recent lessee OF the
place. and the others agreed to leave at the expi-
ration Of week.
The General has ordered Capt Brandt to select
three disintcrested parties, who, in accordance
improvements made by tho freedmen on tho place,
for which they are to DO paid, and at the end of
the week those wishing to remain will make con-
tracts, and the others will leave the plantation.
