LIZ The National Committee Of the

R The National Committee of the
radical party have issued an address, ap-
pealing to the sloiI' to contribute funds
to defray the expensessof the missionaries
now being sent ito, the South for the pur-
pose of teaching the negroes how to vote.
They say they are determined to .'prose-
cute asystematic and thorough canvass of
the Southern States by the most efficient
speakers of both races" IF the object of
this committee, and Of the extremists
whom they represent, were simply to in
struct the blacks relative to the political
duties and obligations so prematurely and
iniiudiciously thrust upon them by Con-
gress, we should have but little to say
against their course but when we witness
thesevils resulting from the Mrangues of
the unprincipled de,nagogues who have
recently come among US, we are constrain-
ed to regard themonly as mischief makers,
whose sole object is to beget in the minds
of The negroes the impression that the
white rebels are their enemies because
they will not admit them to social equality
with themselves, and that their only hope
for lettering their, condition is in acting
and7Eoting with the radicals. These in
cendiary appeals to the passions Of the ig-
norant, unsophisticated blacks cannot but
create enmity between the two races; and
the. recent mobs at Richmond, Mobile,
Charleston, and other places. where these
emissaries have spoken, are the legitimate
fruits of their abominable teachings.

Stanton FOrbifis the Publication c.
Booths Diary.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore tSuas writes:
WASHINGTON, May Is, 1867.-Some
weeks. ago, the leading journals Of the
country almost unanimously demanded the
publication Of copy OF the Booth diary,
which General Butler, i'll Congress, insin-
uatea had been ''spoliasea' since it came
into the hands Of the administration. The
Judge Advocate Generals attention was
called to this general demand Of the press;
and to the propriety of publishing a copy
Of tho diary. Judge Holt at once admit
ted that it would be. proper, and that it
had, in fact, become necessary that the
book should be published but he prefer
red that the testimony Of the witness Con-
ger, who took the diary from Booth
body. should go to the public along with
the copy. Judge Holt, therefore, prom
isea that. as Conger's testimony should be
given before the Judiciary Committee, the
press should be furnished with copy of
the book and testimony relative to its cap
ture, condition then, &c.
Colonel Conger's testimony being closed,
your correspondent, in note to Judge
Holt yesterday, recalled the promise of
publication, and asked to be permitted to
make q copy. To this Judge Holt replied
that he would be glad TO comply with the
request, but he had no authority to furn-
ish the copy, except by express direction
of the Secretary Of War. Mr.. Stanton
was then applied TO- the fact and circum-
stances all explained, but Mr.. Stanton re-
fused to give OF permit copy to be made,
adding: "tThe diary shall not be published
if I can prevent it," The Secretary Of
War did not assign any reason for this d.
termination. It is but just to the Presi-
dent and the Judge Advocate General to
say that they both coincide with the opin-
ions expressed by leading newspapers as
to the propriety of giving publicity to the
diary, and that they are now DESTROYS that
it shall 60 to the public.

AN AFFECTING INcIpENr. As the event
full day Of Mr.. Dayis's release drew to
close, and the shadows Of evening deep
ened into twilight, this distinguished gen.
tleman and his estimable wife went quiet
ly away from their hotel without any at
tendants, to visit the grave Of their little
boy, at the Hollywood cemetery. They
had never seen the tombstone placed at
that spot by their young friends in this
city during Mr.. Daviss imprisonment, and
on their arrival there, had yet to meet an
other evidence of the same feeling of ten
der affection which erected this monument
to 1.-THE Child of Our President" The
children of the "Orphans' Home" of St.
Paul's church had, at their own instance,
and with the permission Of their matron,
gone forth in the morning and decked the
little grave with the fairest and sweetest
flowers of spring. Richmond Dispatch.

AZ Ger. Sclroheld's order requiring
the secret, societies a.nong the negroes in
Richmond, who have aor some time men,
aced the peace Of theF community by pa
rading, drilling and marching about the
city, with muskets, pistols and sabres, to
surrender their weapons, must be regard
ed as wise and proper step IN tbs right
direction. These secret associations meet
and are harangued by the fanatical deina-
gogues who wish to enlist the entire color
ed population in the interest of the radi-
ical party, and their minds poisoned with
the most absurd and mischivous ideas con-
corning their social position relative to the
whites, which, if persisted in. must result
in the most serious disorders, if not blood
shed. The disbanding OF these oath
bound bands Of wicked disturbers of the
peace, at least 50 far as their military &C.
monstrations are concerned, viii have a
tendency to bring about a better state Of
feeling in the community.

report of negotiations between the Liberals
and Imperialists, dated April Dist: Yes
terday a German Princess, wife Of one of
Maximilian's aids, presented herself at
General Diaz's headquarters. She propos-

Belgian corps, guaranteeing the lives of
its members, with permission to return

power to pa rdon Macmillan The siege

AN injurious LAw.-The New York
World calls attention to a most important
law passed by the late Congress, as an
amendment to the 10Th section Of the In
ternal Revenue act, in the following
words mo suit for the purpose Of re-
straining the assessment or collection OF
any tac shall he maintained IN any court. I"
This virtually subjects the property of all
citizens to be confscated by exhorbitant
taxation. Assessors and collectors are re-
lieved from all restraint and can levy their
exactions without control Such vast
power conferred in form so absolute and
irresponsible is truly alarming, and can
not but lead to much oppression and in
justice 1t may, and most probably will
be, converted into practical confscation.

EB with but few exceptions, the re-
lease of Jeferson Davis from his long i'm
prisonment at Fort Monroe, upon his re-
cognizance to appear before the Judges of
the Circuit Court of the United States in
November next, has been approved by
all the generous-ininded statesmen and po-
htical leaders at the North, without dis
tinction Of party. Even among the ultra
radical press there are to be found those
who regard Mr. Davis's release as deman-
ded alike by the dictates Of humanity aud
sound policy. Some few, however, such
as the Washington Chronicle and n Y.
Evening Post, have expressed their dis
appreciation Of his release, and think that
he should not only have been kept in close
confinement, but that he should have spec
Oily been tried and hung for treason
This general acquiescence in and appro-
val of the action Of the Court, on the part
of the Northern press and people, we are
disposed TO accept as at least relax alton
Of that relentless and bitter animosity
which have heretofore characterized them.
And, unless our whilom friends there have
had every generous emotion and humane
impulse extinguished by the disasters Of
the horrible struggle through which we
have 50 recently passed, it is time they
should begin to lay aside their resentments
and consider the great interests of a ruin
ed and suffering people.

The jury, it is fair to presume, is compos-
