A wild Nan in Maurv.

A correspondent of the Columbia Herald,
writing from Spring Hill, says OLA negro
man in that vicinity, who is. called the
wild Man Of the Woods u
This individual-has lately created a ter
Fible commotion among the blacks of this
district. They say hegis a deserter from
the loyol melish, (which accounts fer his
virtues. Never, perhaps, since IngOmari
played pirate on the wealth and: beauty of
Greece never since the decline Of border
chiyalry filed the Black Forrest with law
less robbers, has people been more start
led than our negroes by the "Wild Man of
the Woods.'' He is described as Of enor-
NOUS stature, black as the wing Of night
raven, and cruel asa Fiji chief. Armed
to the teeth, aud followed by large New
foundIand dog. he roams the woods like an
evil spirit aud wages an irrepressible war
upon the colored race. He robs- che men
and naltreats the women, and so terrible
has he become, that his very name will
make them shudder with terror. The peo-
pie may be seen IN eager groups, discussing
this awful scourge. and laying plans for
his destruction. But so far all efforts have
been fraiGlsss! In vain have the officer Of
the melish ordered him to return to camp !;
in vain have the leagues combined their
strength and their ingenuity to capture
the monster. Trampliug upon every viz
tue and outraging every law Of society, he
still rOams at large, despite the efforts of
the melish, or the flowing tears Of the sa-
bic Madonnas. The darkies continually
bring US reports of his fearful outrages.
but SO far no PeFseus has appeared to res
cue the Radical Andromedss from bis cruel
| embrace.

take command Of the disirict during the
illness of Gen. Thomas. Upon the re-
covery Of that officer, the original order

Fifth District, will be carried out. There
is no prospect Ofthe Immediate retirement
Of any members Of the Cabinet. The re-
lations of all of them with the President
continue agreeable. It seems settled that
Secretary McCuiloch viii continue in Of
fee for financial. If no other reasons, as It
has been represented by gentlemen Of diff
Ferent politics, that his resignation would
disastrOusIy effect our public securities,
both at home and abroad.
Corroborative evidence is furnished to-
day that Gen. Grant yesterday sent to the
President decided and firm letter against
the removal Of Generals Sheridan and
Sickles. The differences were known to
be SO wide between the President and Gen.
Grant, that prominent gentlemen supposed
them to be irreconeialiable. and that the
retirement Of Gen. Grant from the War
Department vas inevitable, bat this after
noon Gen. Grant and the President had
an interview st the Executive Mansion,
which resulted in an adjustment Of the
trouble.

I anfra9e d, New YorIz.

Anew York Constitutional Copven-
ton has been in session for some
weaks, but apparently have made
very little progress. Only one COM
mittee has reported, and that is on
the everlasting question of suffrage
manhood suffrage" !" as it is techni-
cally called by the professional politi-
col philanthropists. The committee
have presented two reports-one re-
commencing this manhood suffrage,
and the other urging that'the ques-
ton of extending suffrage to negroes
be submitted to the people. The
committee were unanimous against
female suffrage.
These reports will doubtless give
rise to protracted debates, but with
what result cannot be anticipated.
The measure that Congress has
forced upon the people of the South
ern States is likely to become trou-
blesome in those States where the
measure and its enforcement origi-
mated. It would be something anus
ing if they had yet to be reconstruct
ed in relation to this matter, and
more amusing if the Southern States,
reconstructed and restored, should be
called upon to aid in the work. Their
people, by that time, will thoroughly
understand the process, and be COM
petent for the task.
But, seriously, this question Of
suffrage in the States, after the Union
is reconstructed, will be found trou-
blesome, unless it be left where the
Constitution left ito the people of
the several States. Either this re-
turn to first principles, or law of
Congress applying equally to all the
States, seems to be the only way Of
satisfactorily settling the question.
The former course is preferable in
every point of view, as well because
it recognizes the rights of the people
of the respective States to regulate
their internal arrangements, as be-
cause it would almost be impossible
to frame a uniform law that would be
applicable to all the States, having
populations as different rs their eli
mates and soils.

DEcADENoE OF IRELAND. -Agricul-
tural and emigration statistics made
public by order of Parliament, show
that in the year 1866, the total de-
crease of land under cultivation in
Ireland was 129,526 acres from tho
previous year. The decrease in re-
spect to the crops was chiefly in
oats, barley, potatoes, turnips and
hay. The number of omigrants who
left the country in the year was
101, 251, or nearly 1900 less than in
1865. The decrease was entirely in
the number of female emigrants, as
nearly 1900 more male emigrants
left the country in 1866 than in 1865.

FINANCIAL MATTERS IN ENGLAND
The New York Journal Of Commerce
say that complaint is made of the
accumulation of gold in the Bank of
England. The rate of interest is
reduced, but nobody wants to bor-
row. There IS surplus of coin be-
yond the wants of business equal to
$50, 100000. The Journal says:
This condition contrasts strangely
with the state of things one year ago,
when the monetary system of Eng
land was passing through q serious
crisis, and discounts were difficult to
obtain, even at the most exorbitant
rates. In May, 1866, the stock OF
gold in the Bank of England was
only eli, 800. 900; now it is nearly
E2l. O00.OO0, or say twice as large
In fact 1t IS at present only little
Short of the maximum amount of
specie which the bank has ever held.
The Bank Of France exhibits n SINH
lar condition-its stock of specie be-
ing ut present no less than G33, 3OO,-
600. which is the maximum amount
OF specie which that bank has ever
held. The London Globe inquiries
into the causes which have produced
the reaction, and attributes the pie
thora of gold to the suspension of
industrial enterprise. The channels
of trade have been contracted, so
that large amounts of capital are no
longer required for business opera
tions. The foreign trade of England
is said to have declined ten per cent.
since September last, compared with
corresponding months in the previ-
Gus year; joint-stock enterprise is
stagnant; there are no more new
railways or public improvements.
In the money markets of Europe, as
in the United States, there is tenn
porary lull.

OUTDREAK OF THE PLAGUE N THE
EAsr.-Thc Levant Herald states that
the terrible Asiatic plague has made
its appearance among the Arabs on
the line of the Euphrates. It says:
The telegraph sends evil news from
Bngdad. What is declared to be the
verltablc Asiatic plague has appeared
at kerbelah, on the Euphrates. and
of the two settled Arab tribes-1, 900
strong-whom it has attacked, 100
have been carried OFF. a telegraphic
report, dated June 1, from the qua
rantine inspector at Bagdad, states
that whatever may be the real cha.
racter of the malady, its symtons are
clearly those of the pest-typhus
fever, glandular swellings, carbun-
clcs and ivid spots on the skin.
The inducing causes of the outbreak
are supposed to have been the MAS
ma following the late floods, the DO
verify, filth and crowded state in
which the people live. Prompt mea-
sures have been taken by the Bagdad
authorities 10 prevent the spread of
the malady. and, thanks to these and
the great heat of the weather, the
outbreak is said to be already subsid-
ing. In the meantime, the Galatia
Board of Health, at meeting held
yesterday, addressed an urgent re-
commentator to the Porte, that the
closest quarantine might be ordered
by telegraph. This has accordingly
been done, and special inspector is
at once to be despatched by the board
to investigate and report on the out

REMEDY FOR Dull TINES.

let their stocks stay shelved until
they become old, stale a4d unprofit-
able, for the sake Of the small cx-
pensc it would cost them to adver-
tise. If they try it regularly and
persistently, they will find the in
vestment to be paying one.
