WHAT CONFISCATIoN WILL LEAD TO-
The New York Times says:
"The coniiscation resolutions adopted
at the late meeting of negroes i'll Rich
moud prove the hauetul effect of the polti-
cal teaching which they receive from the
Ilunuicutts Of the extreme Radical party.
In the eye of every thoughtful man, con
fiScation admits Of only one Interpretation.
1t is the equivalent of general spoliation,
bloodshcd, and anarchy. There can be no
liberty without order, and no order without
ample protection for the rights Of property.
Invade these rights, and inculcatc the idea
that one class shall be permitted TO seize
aud enjoy the lands and houses of another
class, and from that moment the South
will become second san Domingo, 10 end
only in the determination of whites or
blacks. This may bc a strong statement
of the case, but it is the truth. And the
men who 90 about familiarizing the ne
groes with the demand, and persuadng
them OF il, Justice, should be dealt with by
the military commanders as inccudiarlcS."
The confscation resolutions We're not
adopted. They were referred to a com
mittcc, and thus got out of the way. But
it is said they were universally popular
with the more ignorant. We can add &c
what the Times says, that if ever conlisca-
ton is commenced in the South, it will end
in the North. The taste for plumber will
not be satisfied by what little property We
have. "A word to the wise is sufficient"

Interesting Matters I'm New Orleans.

Quite an interesting controversy has
arisen, and is likely TO be submitted tn
General Grant FOR decision, growing out OF
an election for directors of the New Or
leans, jackson and Great Northern rail
road, lately held in New Orleans. On the
return Of General Bcayrcgard from the
Confederate service his friends obtained
from the military authorities possession OF
the road and made him its president. AT
the late annual election for directors, the
Creole General formed ticket of his par
tiSans, and had appointed the judges to
hold the election and declare the result.
Under the act of incorporation the Cover
nor of the State and Mayor of New Or
leans were each empowered TO appoint
three directors. Subsequently, the com
pany being in need, another act OF lcgisia-
ton was passed, authorizing large suhscrip-
ton on the part OF tie State and city, and
at all elections since then the Co
vernon and Mayor have cast their votes
for directors on the stock represent
ed by them respectively. At this last
election the Governor, Mayor, and
Union citizens combined, and made
new ticket for directors, composed
exclusively OF Union men. The judges of
election appointed by Beanregard and
friends as above, finding that the votes OF
the Governor aud Mayor would Dust the
Bcaurcgard directory, decided that, le-
gaily. the said officers had no right to vote
for the State and city. The vote of Go
vernon and Mayor, if counted, would have
defeated the Bcauregard ticket two 10 one.
The Judges OF election, by this exclusion,
rejected the rebel ticket. The Union
people are indignant over this outrage,
and intend TO appeal to General Grant for
orders directing General Sheridan toplacc
the road in the hands of those fairly elected
and friendly to the Government.
The Union people of New Orleans are
preparing letters and petitions 10 General
Grant iavorIng the removal OF the Con-
tcdcratc Colonel Thomas +. Adams from
the position OF chief of police of that city.
They insist that the chief OF the rioters on
the Both OF July should not have the CON
troll OF the police while the present system
Of registration and reconstruction is going
on. They allegc that the police are in
colorcd men from regiStcring.-

HENRY S. FooTE states that a southern
member of the late Congress, from the
State of Alabama, informed him "that
when the first military reconstruction bill
was pending in Congress, President John
son formally advised him and other mem
hcrs from the South to return TO their re-
Spcctivc homes and aid in causing the con-
stitutional amendment to be rejected, pro-
missing that in the event of their success
in attaining this object he would veto the
military bill, and if even it should be
passed over his head, he would refuse to
execute it,"
If this be not an improbable offence
what is one p WASHINGTON Chronicle.
But who believes this story?

THE Corn CROP MOVING OFF.-Proba-

were shipped from the lower Rappahan-

a vast deal to go forward. Unfortunately
for our farmers, most of it had been sold
at prices ranging from 10 to 50 cents a

We understand that most Of the crop in

that the quantity is large. 1t will not get

How THE ILLINOIS EIGHT-HoUR LAW
WoRKs.-The employing printers and pub
fishers of Chicago held meeting on Fri
day upon the eight-hour question. No
positive decision was reached, but 1t was
understood that they are about unanimous
in the determination not 10 recognize the
law unless there is corresponding de
crease in the rate of wages. The dircc-
tors Of the Northwestern railroad have de-
cidcd to inform the men in their employ
that those who choose to do so can re-
strict their labor to eight hours at a pro-
portionatc reduction of wages. The Of
liccrs Of the city railroads have decided to
make the same offer to their men, and
there is said to be scarcely doubt that
all the railways centrcing in Chicago Will
take the same action.
