II is matter of surprise to many,
that the colorsd people should attach
themselves TO the miserable scum that
drift to the South from the land Of
Radicalism. II is to be regretted in
asmuch as 1t detracts from the char
acter Of the better class Of freedmen ;
but the circumstances which led to
the intimacy, were peculiar, and pre-.
vented the blacks from seeing that
they were STOPPING very low to get
down to the level of their Radical as
sociates. They have, however, been
taught some bitter lessons, and lit
tie farther acquaintance and reflection
will enable them to correct their grave
error, and prompt them to dissolve
an association which their self.respect
can not sanction.

KELLY, Of Philadelphia, appears to be a
hrst-class batherskite and coward. His
speech at Mobile was an insulting harrsngue,
ten times worse than Buffers in New York
last fall, for which he was driven from the
stand. Every one Of these political peddlers
going down South 10 set the negroes against
the whites, deserves to have milestone tied
TO his neck and be cast into the Gulf Of
Mexico, and were it not that II Is just this
sort Of mar,yrdom thet they are seeking, in
order TO iniame party spirit at the North
against the South, they ought TO be accom-
modated. As 1t is, we trust white people
wSi keep away from their meetings. Let
them severely alone.-M Y. Day Book.

TIE Juror about the eight hour
system of labor Is gradually making
its way to the South, but we hope il
will not mislead the minds of our
people. A life of ceaseless toll is
far from being blessing, and all
that can be done to mitigate or
abridge the evil, is gain to the cause
Of humanity. But there ever will
be a contest between capital and la,
Dor, and the ingenuity of man can
devise no compromise that will per-
manently settle it on terms other
than those dictated by the law of sup
ply and demand. The price of labor,
like the price Of anything else, is
governed by this memorable law, and
capital can never be forced to pay
for eight hours labor the price of
ten; and if the laborers of the coun
try resolve TO work but eight hours,
they may as we'll make up their minds
to be content with proportionate
price. The man of capital can do
without labor, longer than the laborer
can do without employment, and this
inequality in the ability to endure
will always give capital the victory.
Constitutional provisions, or legisla.
tive enactments may fix the DAYS
labor at eight hours, as six per. cent
is fixed as the rate of interest, but
the current value of the labor and
Of the money will still be regulated,
by supply and demand. 1t is as idle
to expect the law to fix the price of
labor at so much per. hour, under all
Circumstances, as the price of wheat
1T SO much per. bushel regardless
of the cost Of production and the
amount on hand. It is strange,
therefore, that sensible mechanics and
aay-laborers will work thems selves
into an excitement about SO very
humbug as is the idea that they
can get ten hours puy for eight hours
abor.

The Hon. ~ ". D. Stokes was met and
received at the depot on last Monday night
and conducted to one Of our uptown hotels
by Bob Curry, Sligo Worthen, Cal. Sweeney,
and Cravens--the well named. We have
nothing to complain Of for this particular act
Of respect. Perhaps it behooved some one to
show the doughty guest bis way to bed and
board. The night was dark and threatening,
the roads bad and perilous and tho mans
conscience not the clearest. Without COM
pany every gleanlaOf lightning would have
seemed fash from an assassin's gun, every
rut a pitfall, every tree guerilla, and would
have been 80 published in the next number
of the Press and Times. Therefore il was
eminently proper that an escort and commit
tee of reception was in waiting. 1t was no
less proper that such an escort of honor
should have been composed Of such material
as the quartette named. A renegade rebel, a
fellow countryman Of Beast Butler, fatter-
or aud a craven, should by all means have
lackeyed the writer of the Duncan letter, the
er-jayhawker and Brownowite into a res
pectable town. We congratulate this self
constituted committee-these obseqpious
funkeys-upon this clear understanding of
their own illnesses PARIS Intetlgencer, rs.

The Attorney General has at last,
published his opinion on the recon
struction bill, and it is most clearly
against the narrow contracted views,
and petty tyranny of Sheridan, as
manifested by his conduct in New
Orleans. We do not know that this
opinion will be regarded by the sa-
traps, but if observed, it will not fail
to give their respective provinces a
far more favorable position than they
are likely to reach if left at the mercy
of intolerant and ignorant military
rulers.

WE congratulate the community
upon the disappointment of the Rad :
icals, on the day Of the speaking
judging from results at other points,
they hoped for disturbance of some
sort, to serve as pretext for quar-
tering some of Brownlow's ruf6ans

furnished, and we do not believe that
a crowd so orderly and attentive has
assembled in a Northern Radical
church since the CONNIE cement of

harm in this case, and none should
commit themselves to Convention or
no Convention until they reach a
point from which they can see, more
clearly, the consequences of either
line Of action. Confscation seems
to be the bugbear with the advocates
OF reconstruction, but it is folly to
suppose that the measure will be
abandoned or enforced on account of
any action the South may take under
the military bill. The call of Con.
ventions will fasten upon the South
incurable political ills, and no Con-
ventions will simply leave it under
rulc--a fate far preferable to
that of the luckless victims of Brown.
