The Catholics are building a large
and imposing convent in Maysville.
Two negroes confined in the Flem-
ingsburg jail awaiting transportation to
the penitentisry, last week succeeded in
cutting through the worn out iron bars
across the window and one escaped.
The other might have easily secompa-
MED the fugitive, but declined because
the state was obliged to feed and clothe
him two years. He has since been sent
on to the coveted state clearinghouse at
Frankfort.
The slight frost Of last week is re-
ported by our Kentucky exchanges to
have resulted harmlessly.
The Paris Citizen says that Mr.. Thos.
Austin shot white squirrel in Bourbon
county q few days since.
The Maysville Eagle notices sales of
fat cattle in Mason county at seven to
seven and half cents, and Of stock hogs
at five cents.
The Lexington Observer and Re
porter gives the following account Of a
successful confidence game We under
stand that one Of our banks was hand
somely chisled out Of 5000. A man
calling himself Fanchion came here
some twelve months ago, spent his
money llDeFhliNf DDuEul Dut uOistS anu
stock, and had all the appearance,
habits, ETC., of a wealthy man. A few
months ago he returned, to complete las
he pretsndedl the purchase Of fine
Fayette farm, bringing with him some
S25 600 of drafts on various banks. He
bought fine stock from several of our
breeders, and succeeded in getting draft
for $4,000 cashed, and disappeared. The
draft turned out to be for 5000, raised to
$4,000. The bank just now believes in
total depravity.
Elsewhere the same paper says VIM.
Warfield, ESQ, left on our table q sample
Of wsol taken from Cotswold eve. The
sample is over eighteen inches long, and
we understand the fleece weighed four
teen pounds,
The MaysvilIe Bulletin says: We
have reasons to believe negotiations are
in q state of favorable progress, by which
the owners Of the Maysville and Lexing-
ton railroad win surrender that part of
the franchise ana all the work done from
Maysville to Paris to the citizens of the
counties interested, upon their subscrib-
ing $500, 900 toward the completion of the
road We believe this sum can be raised
in twOsweeks upon the execution Of the
contract. Daylight dawns. Let us put
this road through. This is the first really
practical suggestion yet made.

The Vicksburg Times of the 18th pub
fishes letter from Col. w. H. McCardle,
in which he expresses the hope and wish,
should the convention project be sus-
tanned, and the people of Mississippi
alter their organic law to suit the con-
gressional reconstruction plan, "that
Mississippi will leSd OF proMptIy, and
elect two colored senators and five
representatives, to the congress
of the United States" He advises
the colored men 70 nominate the best
and truest men of their own race as can
didates for congress, and he advises his
own race to cheerfully and cordially
unite With them and vote for the colored
candidates. He argues that the true
men Of the stste cannot take the test
oath, and adds:
"Unless, then, we unite with the
colOred voters, and help them by our
votes to elect honest and intelligent
black men to congress, we must OF
necessity consent to be represented by
worthless adventures from abroad; fel
lows destitute alike OF character and
ability-vagabond who have come here
for the sole purpose of breeding strife,
nurturing discomfort, stirring up bad
blood between the two races, and using
the black men as mere beasts OF bur
den, upon whose broad shoulders they
hope to ride into office. At their former
homes these miserable Wretches never
had character or consideration enough to
be elected to the Office of constable I; but
here in the south, with the assistance of
the negro voters, they hope to become
marvelously great men,
To those who say they are afraid to
20 70
congress, Col. McCardle says in reply:
"I, for one, have no such fears. Their
interests are my interests, and 1 am not
afraid to trust them. The people Of the
south trusted the whole race during the
war, and by the great mass Of blacks
that trust and confidence was not be-
trayed. They followed us to battle,
nursed US when sick and wounded, and
served US with unshrinking fidelity.
Those of us who had wives and children
left them at home under the protection
of our fsithful slaves, and the history of
the world cannot show brighter ex-
ample of honor, constancy and devotion,
than was displayed by the black race
during the Elbr."
The colonel argues that congress has
elevated the black man to the dignity Of
q citizen and voter, not for any special
love to the negro, but because Of radical
hate for his former master, and an earn
est desire to retain political power by
the negro's aid. He states his unaltera-
able opposition TO the military bills; his
determination to register, if permitted,
and to exercise the privilege allowed
him, of voting against a convention. But
should the convention proposition carry,
rs be doubts not it will, and the negroes
be made citizens and voters by congress
aud the action Of the southern people,
theEr&e favors the course indicated in
his letter.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The reasons
| preferred by the radical Louisianians for
Sheridan's removal are: First-He has
not arrested any one concerned in the
July riots. SecOnd-That the chief OF
police, who then ofiieiated, is still in
office and on social terms with Sheridanis
staff. Third-He refused TO approve the
removal of the chief OF police, which was
made by the new mayor, and the ap-
pointment Of q union soldier in his stead.
Fourth-No eolOred men have been
placed on the police force. 1t is further
stated that the president cannot be
blamed, for he has not even inteFfered
With Gen. Pope, the most vigorous of the
district commanders. The president,
however, declines to interfere with Gen.
Sheridan, but considers and refers only
questions OF law propnunded to him by
the citizens Of Louisiana to the attorney
geneTsl,
As showing the condition Of the treas
ury 1t may be stated that between now

600 OF currency interest, $1,000, 600 Of
gold loan of 1857, and $50, 900, 600 of COM
pound interest notes, besides the current
expenses Of the government. To meet
these demands the secretary will have
from internal revenue, say, 800, 900, 900;
customs receipts, $50, 900, 900; miseella-
neous receipts, $50, 900; three per cent.
tax authorized by the last congress, $50
100000; and his each balance of $780,

"A correspondent of the Albany NelOs

in their crops, which look promising.
The majority have turned out their cot
ton, and much Of the corn is laid by.
The next few weeks, the writer says, will
probably decide the crops Of that region,

occur to mar the present prospects.
The people Of Barlow county have

ADARK PICTURE.

n
We take the following picture-darki
but true-from the Louisville Courier, 9
journal conducted with singular vigouE
and ability, and which we always read
with pleasure and profit:
Two years have now elapsed since the
bloody drama closed. Two years since
the struggle began to infuse new life into
the dead avenues of trade, to perpetuate
a noble civilization upon new ideas, to
rebuild churches and schools, to plant the
yine and orchard, and exalt people,
conquered it is true, but proud and self
reliant still. Would to God we could
curtain from view the hideous present
and the still more hideous future. Des-
pair has done, and is doing, Its work.
Famine revels where plenty overnowGd,
and the wolf is still at every mans door.
Whole districts are depOpulated, and the
fiend of desolstion holds high carnival
over one-half at least of ten states, and
gFeedily demands an undisputed empirei
and alas too soon it must be his.
Without food t6 eat, or seed TO plant,
or stock and implements to cultivate the
soil, and without money to buy, insuited
and outraged and murdered by those who
were idJ6ig luotI sAdfCS Vic 6WoAN Vi
Damoeles suspended above their heads;
the bsyolet, & their hearts; q govern
ment that pia-s up wrong qpon YFong,
and offers no word of concilistiOn or
kindness, even amid the gloom of des-
pair. Sad indeed Is the condition Of the
people of the south.
Emisssries traversed the country ap-
pealing to the colored masses to sssert
not only their equality with the white
race, but their superiority to it, and none
dare open his mouth against the mon
strous assumption.
Coufiscation is promised, and the negro
must play his part in the plot to effect it.
Riots must take place, and, no matter by
whom brought on, he is never wrong but
slweys right. Organizations have been
effected amongst them, denOuncing the
penalty or death against any colored
man who may vote for a Cenfede-
rate or one of their own color who
was free before the war. The
states, in short, are territories, that they
may be converted into republican states,
ruled by the negro, and all who do not
wish to be ruled by him must get out Of
the way.
And still they ask the south to recon-
struct under the Sherman bill. Never,
never can she do il. She has a glorious
past. She will not mar her future by
such treschery, such baseness, notwith
Brown Of Georgia, and Orr of
South Carolina, and no matter who else
may be for it. Better, far better, submit
to confiscation or the gibbet than to such
dishOnor
