The South and the Military Bill.

From The baltimore Sun, llH,
The measures introduced in Congress since
the passage of the Sherman military act, to
provide a more efficient Government for the
Rebel States" especially the bill OF Senator
Wilson for calling conventions under it in the
several Southern States, naturally eXcites doubt
and hesitation with the Southern Legislatures
as to what should be their action. Besides the
bill of Mr.. Wilson, there are the resolutions of
Mr.. Kelley for inquiring who shall call conven-
tioIs, etc, and the bill of Mr.. Sumner providing
a republican form of government and distran-
chising all who participated in the Rebellion,
and prescribing rigid form of oath. The main
object OF all seems to be TO clOthe the military
officer in each of the five districts with fuil
would render the tate OF any present action
of the Legislatures very uncertain, especially
so under the persistent efforts OF the few radical
whites to unite the COlored people in solid oDpo
sition, and TO hold conventions OF their own.
In North Carolina the white so-called "loy-
alists,n under the lead or Governor Holden
have called meeting to be held in Raleigh, on
the 9th, to consult together and mature
plan to call a convention of the people of North
Carolina TO frame a Constitution preparatory
TO the admission of the State to REPRESENTATION
in Congress, IN accordance with the terms pre-
scribedn in the Sherman law. The proceedings
of those who called the Convention appeqr in
the Raleigh Standard (Holden's paper) of the
18th inst. and the following shows what they
are atter:-
at was also unanimously resolved that the
Chairman OF the meeting confer with the
colored people of the State, and ascertain their
views and wishes, with view to prompt and
harmonious cooperation of all the loyal
people of the State in the work of reconstruc-
tion.'
AS a matter of course, the colored people
would be expected by all to take such indepen-
dent part IN the elections as other voters may
take under the bill, and therefore any special
efforts by few to enlist them as a class against
the great body of the whites can only be mis-.
chleVous. 1t will be seen by a Washington
despatch that the Wilson proposition, making II
incumbent on the military commander to call
the Conventions and register voters, is to be
reported on favorably. Its adoption will solve
| the problem of the threatened conflict by State
and popular agencies in calling Conventions.

A shinIoad OF Charity.

Several weeks ago the Government, instigated
thereto by Mrs. General Fremont, granted the
use of ship to the Ladies' Southern Relief AS
socation, to transmit their gifts to the suffering
and starving poor OF the Southern States. AS
one of the active managers of that charity, she
supplied the Government with information,
subsequently confirmed by the statistics and
reports OF General HOward's Bureau, regarding
the extent and amount OF that suffering, which
demonstrated that, while the operations of the
Freedmen's Bureau were relieving distress,
much remained to be relieved for which the
resources of private charity were better suited.
The DunbartoD, which is the name of the
vessel obtained by Mrs. Fremont from the
Government on behalf of the Ladies' Southern
Relief Association, is now lying at one of our
wharves ready TO receive her cargo. All con-
tributions from other cities and from the coun-
try at large should be Immediately transmitted,
for the purpose of freighting her with bacon,
clothing, drugs, and everything else needed ior
the relief OF the suffering South besides the
corn, to the purchase and sending of which the
Southern Relief Commission has, we believe
voted to contine its efforts.
We are informed also that the application oil
MRS. Fremont to Congress for an appropriation

TURKEY.

CHANGE OF TURKISH MINISTRY.


The following despatch, dated Constantine
pie, February l6, 1867, has been received
Two days after my last note the tide suddenly
turned Ria Pasha went out and Fuad Pasha
came into power 1t is generally believed that
this was brought about by foreign influence and
that 1T is connected with some plan of the Great
Powers to change the position of things in
Turkey. 1 think this view is based on the
speeches of Queen Victoria and Napoleon.
My own information is that the fall of Ria
Pasha was as unexpected by the Ambassadors
of France and England as by any one else, and
IL is not known at the Embassies here what
plan England, France, and Russia have agreed
upon, IL upon any. The Porte has received
positive information that Lord Stratford is to
be sent here on a special mission in connection
with the Eastern question, but the English
Embassy has no information on the subject
whatever except the town talk,
The most trustworthy Greeks say that the
weeks in Eprus and Thessaly, whatever the
Great Powers may do. An American naval
officer, just from Belgrade, assures me that
SerVia is determined to flight the Turks, and
war in that quarter is almost certain. Fuad
Pasha will use all his influence to preserve
peace.
The war in Crete goes on. Two battles were
fought ten days ago, which were favorable TO
the Cretans. The Turks have come back to
Canea quite demoraliZed. Our Minister here
and our Consul at Crete are very much annoyed
and chagrined that our vessels of war have not
yot appeared at Crete to take off women and
children,

The Austin Sanitary Flour.

The Stockton (Oal.) Independent Of February
hour:-
This is the brand printed in large letters on
the buckskin sack containing the celebrated
flour with which Gridley realized the sum of
1868 for the Sanitary Fund. The flour has
been in store for some time In Sacramento. and
was brought 10 this city by the steamer Arrow
on Monday night. Captain II. S. Sargent took
it to his store on Hunter street yesterday morn
ing, and many called during the day to take a
look at it,. Notwithstanding the fact that il has
passed through the tropics twice, and has been
carried over twenty-three thousand miles, it ls
as fresh and good as the first day it was manu-.
featured. 1t was made at General Bidwelpa
mills at Chico.

The State Election TO-day-What the
Republicans Confidently Expect TO
Accomplish.
CONCORD, N. H., March 11.-Lsrge numbers
of voters are coming into all sections of the
State to throw their votes tomorrow, and
among them a number of Washington clerks.
All the towns except Newcastle will choose
local as well as State officers; and the cities,
except Manchester, Portsmouth, and Dover,
choose municipal officers. The Republicans
are confident that they will carry the State by
at least 1000 majority. The Democrats are
sanguine that the Republicans will not have
over 1000 majority. The only hope of the
Democratic party is dsaffected Republican,
the Stearns men-and they reckon this class at
1000. The Republicans hold that the whole
number of dlsaffeCted will not exceed fifty, and
these are to be found in Franklin and Lebanon,
il anywhere.
The closest Congressional District in the State
will be the First District, where the contest lies
between Ella and Marcy, the latter of whom was
a Democratic member of the Thirty eighth Con
gress. The Republicans are confident that Ella
will be elected. The Legislature will be largely
Republican. The leaders of that party estimate
one hundred majority in the House out of three
hundred and fifty members, and three majority
IN the Senate out OF twelve members. The rival
candidates for Speaker in the House will be L.
D. Stevens, OF Concord, and MaiOr-General Grif
TN, OF Keene. There are no large political meet
ings in the State tonight.

OBITUARY.
DIR. Edward RuggIes,

The artist whose beautiful cabinet pictures
have been known during the past five years
under the name of the "Ruggies Gemsn died
suddenly at his residence ia Brooklyn yester-
day morning. His age was about fifty years.
Dr. Ruggles was born IN Fall River, Massachu-
setts, and began the study of medicine at an
eally age. After the usual course of lnstruc-
tioE in this conntry, he went to Paris TO perfect
himself in his profession, aud while in that
city pursued the study of art as a pastime,
witbI no intention of deVotng himself to any
other profession than that of medicine. A few
years later he returned TO the United States
and soon obtained q large practice as a phys-
clan, still amusing his leisure hours with the
work of an amateur at the easel. About five
years ago, at the earnest solicitation of his
friends, he consented to public exhibition OF a
few OF his pictures, and the success which
attended this Introduction of his works to the
lovers of art finally led him TO relinquish his
practice and devote himself to painting the
cabinet pieces which have become so popular.
Dr. Ruggles painted rapidly, although carefully,
and his industry was remarkable. Sometimes
he produced more than hundreds mall pictures
in the course of single sc ason, and all were
eagerly bought. Most of those which were ex.
hibited here last season were painted at his
summer residence in Hyde Park, but the greater
number of his works were produced at his
studio in Brooklyn, to which very few persons
ever had access.-M. Y. Euening Post, llM.
Sir George Smart.

Gently IN London, at the advanced age Ofnlnety

ist, and was director of music at the coronation
of King William and Queen Adelaide, and al
that or the present Queen of Great Britain. Iu
1911 Sir George received the honor of knight
hood from the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lieu
