1t is natural that after our great revolt
ution of blood, in which five hundred
thousand men laid down their lives for an
idea, that there should be n reaction. A
revolution also of thought and feeling.
The wheels of the chariot of change in
the South are already in rapid motion.
Before the war, the proud Southerner
would have spurncd even the thought of
giving colored man IN office. lie would
have considered such suggestion from
any one, an indigniiy upon himself and
treason against his "peculiar institution :"
A man uttering such sentiments would
have been Immediately beratcd rs an
aboitonist and the angry crowd gather
ing around would,in ninety cases out
of IA hundred, have robed HIM in coat
OF tar and feathers, ard have treated him
to n free ride upon rail, and in such n
manner too that he would scarcely like
SAKE sing, Bless me, isn't it pleasant rid
ing on rail-"
To day, they, of the South, even petition
that black men may be raised 10 offices of
emolument and trust "In jackson Co.,
Alabama, negro school-icacher, named
Carter, his been appointed Registered
Voters, under the Military Reconstruction
Bill. The appointment was made at the
rquest Of a number of the prominent
white citizens of the county. Men who,
in 1860 and 1861, were immured in
apparently impregnabic walls of pride,
are now becoming enlightened to the
sublime fact, that black men are men as
well as white, and according to existing
national law, his vote counts one AS well
rs his white brother, AMI what makes
it better still is that he can cast
that vote where and for whomsoevcr he
chooses.
In Nashville, Tennessee, April 18th,
IA large and enthusiastic mass meeting of
black citizens was held in the open air. no
hall being able to contain the crowd
Resolutions indorsing Brownlow, and de
nouncing Andy johnson and The Conser-
vaiive party, were adopted unanimously"
As the president said in one Of his speeches
sometime since, sit seems, as though the
blacks sore learning whJ their friend
are" A. whole they choose to stand on
the broad platform OF the Republican
party, and Of equal rights 10 all loyal
men. We hope and trust that they may
and will ever follow the advice of Senator
Wilson, Which lie gave them in his speech
at Petersburg, a few days since, he says :
"Walk with your foreheads to the skies,
and call none master but God"
1t is pleasant TO learn that recons,ruc-
ton is progressing favorably ut the South,
though Mississippi and Georgia protest
against such measures, and have issued
an injunction to test the legality of the
law. With politicians the negro is a
being of much Importance. Finding that
negro suffrage is to be maintained, great
change has come over most Of the leaders
They are now anxious to gain the good
will Of the colored man, and thus secure
the aid of his ballot to raise themselves

MEXICO. Orders have been issued by
President Juarcz to all his officers, that
in case Macmillan shall be captured he
shall receive honorable treatment and Il
safe escort to any place on the coast which
he may select as point of embarkation.
Macmillan has also countcrmandcd the
savage order of Miramon, that all person
captured should be executed. The story
that Gen. Escal Q 10 had Issued an order
similar TO Miramon'S, and in revenge for
it, is believed TO have been concoctcd at
the capital. Skirmi'hes were taking place
every day around the gates Of the City of
Mexico, and Macmillan WAS reported TO
be on his way thither, having been wound
ed in the arm at the siege of Qleretaro.
Money is becoming scarce in the imperial
treasury, and the finance minister has
given up his portfolio in disgust. The
Austrian garrison is looking out for the

GEN. l.. &. BAKERS HISTORY
OF THE
SECRET SuI1VICE:

This History was announced one year ago,
but owing to the attempts Of the Government
to suppress it. its publication was delayed 1t
will now be issued unaltered and unabridged
under the immediate supervision of Gen Baker.
1t con aims full and official expose of the in
tricate Vaccinations of the secret enemies Of
the Union.
For startling developments and thrilling ad-
ventures thus book by far eclipses the famous
e1 perence of Pouche and Vidocq The mar
yelous narratives of Gen. Baker are all attested
by the highest official authority. 1t will con-
tain the only official history Of the assassination
conspiracy. full account of this great start
ling and terrible crime from its conceptions in
the haunts of yillany to the burial place of
Booth, has never been placed before the public.
The work also exposes the nefarious system by
which Presidential pardons were and are SO
readily obtained at Washington.
The morals OF the National Capitol are thor
oughly ventilated and there are some strange
revelations concern Rg heads of departments,
female pardon brokers, and distinguished mil
itary characters
Gen Bakers position as Provost Marshal
and Chief Detective Of the U, S. A. during the
war, give him access only to all the facts pub
lished in this work; therefore his History will
be the only work of the kind published.
