EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF
SPEAKER CoLFAX. was stated that
Mr.. Colfax, in recent speech, threat
ened President johnson with hang
ing. This was Indignantly denied by
his friends; but we now find, by a
full report of his speech, published
on his own authority, which is equiva-
lent to a confession. that what he did
say on this subject was quite as bad,
if not worse, than he was originally
charged with. The Speaker of the
House of Representatives threaten
ing in public speech to hang the
Chief Magistrate of the United
States like common malefactor, is
one of the most disgraceful exhibi-
tions of partizanship that ever ram
pant radicalism has yet made. It
was generally supposed that the
Speaker of the House should be q
gentleman. All the traditions of
Congress and the responsibility of q
Constitution which created the Office,
presuppose that fact; but that the
Speaker should threaten the Chief Ma
gistrate with the ignomiuious death
of felon. only shows to what ter
rible state of decentralization the lead
ing politicians of the Republican
party have sunk. It is but in accord
ance with the instincts of gentleman
ly society, that man using such Ian
guage would at once forfeit his status
and be expelled from all association
with gentlemen. We can only say
that Mr.. ColfaA, by his own confes-
sion, has disgraced his character and
has entitled himself to denial of all
the courtesies of respectable society
henceforth.- York Herald.

What will the President do if Con-
gress tries to suspend him, pending
impeachment? Here is the answer
his organ gives:
"In respect to what the President
would do if approached in either of
these directions, we have not thought
it worth while to consider, but natu-
rally suppose that he would not will
lingly submit to the degradation of
the Executive Office thus, however
he might feel disposed to make any
personal sacrifice to maintain public
harmony. "-NationM Mtelligencer.

EMPLOYMENT FOR FEMALES
editor of the Albany Knick is now in
Europe. Writing from Cork, he
states that females do the clerking in
that city, whereupon he urges the
following reasons why they should be
employed here:
Females may sport fifty dollar
mantles, but they never get on fifty
dollar 'busts. Females never spend
q whole weeks wages on billiard
tables. Girls never kick up row,
and get dragged to the station house.
Fast horses they avoid, and roulette
tables and game cocks. Who ever
saw female hanging round o gam
bling table, or betting her last five dol
lars that she can tell where the little
joker is? Who ever saw o female
clerk, after the store was shut. ram
bling up Broadway, raising thunder
and breaking things? Who ever saw
a respectable girl knocking over Try
goods boxes and standing M. P. 's'
on their heads? No one; and yet re-
spectacle young men do these things
nightly. When was q female clerk
ever arrested for having suspicious
character locked up in the store with
her after midnight? In view of all
these facts, is it any wonder that the
merchants on this side run to female
clerks?"

THE SOUTHERN CONVENTIONS. The
opinion prevails extensively through
out the country, that the Reconstruc-
tion Act of the fortieth Congress
requires majority of all the regis
tered voters in the Southern elections
to authorize the holding of constitu-
tional conventions, which is errone-
GUS, as the law reads as follows:
eff a majority by the votes given
on that question shall be for con-
vention. then such convention shall
be held, as hereinafter provided; but
If a majority of said votes be against
convention, then no such conven-
tion shall be held under this Act, pro-
vlded that such convention shall not
be held unless majority of all such
registered voters shall nave voted on
the question of holding such conven-
ton"
The debates in both houses of
Congress, pending the passage of the
bill, embraced succinct explanations
of this point, and it is very strange
that some OF the leading journals in
the country could have made such an
egregious blunder as to assume that
the convention question will be lost
in Louisiana unless it receives q ma
joritH of the registered votes.

FILLING VACANCIES. The New
York Times says:
"One of the greatest difficulties
experienced by the department at
Washington in regard to filling places
connected with the internal revenue,
vacated for misconduct or ineffi-
cheney, grows out of the fact that
where one bad man is removed, ten
worse men make a rush for his place.
1t is so easy to get testimonials, poll
ticians are 80 easily induced to favor
and press personal applications, and
the department is 80 apt to be utterly
misled and deceived as to the charac-
ter of applicants, that in nine cases
out of ten the chances are that the
worst men will succeed, because they
are the mostpertinacious. An honest
man, who is content with the salary
to which he is entitled by law, can
make very little money by accepting
a Government Office. It is only the
men who intend to use their posi-.
tions for purposes Of plunder and
unlawful gain, who are resolute and
determined in their efforts to obtain
appointments. We are very glad to
be assured that, in two or three cases
now pending, the department under
stands the Importance of making no
doubtful appointments"

The President and Reconstruction.

During the frequent interviews be-
tween the President and his Southern
friends, he has stated his views re-
garding reconstruction matters at
great length, and has advised them to
appeal to the courts for satisfaction if
they feel that the military authorities
have deprived them of any of their
rights. He has been particularly
pointed in giving this advice to par
ties pardoned under his recentamnes-
ty proclamation, and they have OBJ
tsined permission from him to report
his statements. In several instances
his friends assumed the authority
from the permission to repeat, to put
them in writing, and one of them has
been seen by your correspondent,
headed, "To whom it may concern, t"
which embraces opinions about as
follows: The President stated to the
writer that he could not reopen
registration without mourning certain
risk of impeachment, although he
had been advised to do 80 by some Of
the most earnest supporters of his
policy. who argued that If he assumed
the power to do so under his autho-
rity rs Gommander-in- Chief, giving
orders to military subordinates, he
would be supported by the Constitu-
tion-loving and law-abiding portion
of the people. On the other hand,
other equally warm supporters of his
policy bad advised him, that if he
attempted to assert his military power
in directing the manner of the exc
cution of civil duties imposed on
military authorities by direct Act of
Congress, he would be assuming au.
.thority not vested in his office. either
by tine Constitution, the Articles of
War, or by any law now in existence.
He also stated that the promulgation
of the amnesty proclamation would
result, if properly managed, in dis
rupting the Republican party, be-
cause if the courts decided, as he
thought they should, that the classes
pardoned by it were restored to their
full rights rs citizens, and the leaders
of that party would persist in sup
porting the military authorities in
their refusal to allow them to regis
ter, the natural consequence would
be that the people would flock to the
support of the Judiciary. The letter
or circular concludes by personal
appeal from the writer to give its con-
tents wide circulation. and post
script is added, stating that Mr.. John
son, in his desires to peacefully
settle the differences now existing in
the country, sincerely hopes that his
friends will seek every opportunity to
allay all bitterness of feeling engen-
dered by the political situation, and
cheerfully submit to the decisions of
the proper tribunals, whatever they
may be.-Cor. New York Times.

MURDER IN ST. MATTHEWS PARISH.

ed on Monday last, on the plantation
of Major Thos. B. Whaley, in st.
Matthew's, by Moses Livingston,
(also colored. The cause said to be
jealousy and the murder has been
characterized to us as most heinous-
the victims head having been frac-
tured with an iron bar, and his throat
cut. In the absence, however, of
reliable particulars, we forbear saying
more at present. The murderer was
brought into town on Thursday after
noon, by three freedmen acting as

Eleetins Colore.l Men.

GAeOS1h{3 SOkOIG1A MEN,
At the meeting in Charlottesville,
which nominated Judge Rives and
James Taylor (colored) for the Con-
vention, Fairfax Taylor (colored)
presided. and John Wood, Esq,
acted as secretary. We perceive in
the report of the proceedings, that
there was some objection among the
radicals, both white and black, to the
electing of negro to any Office at
the present time; but the meeting
was of different opinion, and nomi-
mated Taylor by a three-fourths vote.
Mn Poore, an ex-Federal officer,
from Gordonsville, recently nomi-
mated by the colored people of
Orange for the Convention, ad-
dressed the meeting:
He told them he was from Ohio,
where the State election would be
held in few days. He said the
conduct of the oolored people at the
South would have great influence OF
the elections at the North; that the
Democratic party was opposed to
negro suffrage, and if convention
like this should throw overheard a
man like Judge Rives, Republican,
it would be used against the Repub-
lican party and the colored people.
He therefore urged them to nomi-
nate Judge Rives.
Fairfax Taylor earnestly opposed
the nomination of colored man,
making a speech which evidently
impressed the audience. He sold
that the colored man who had been
put Ill nomination was his son; but
that he was too deeply impressed
with the impolicy of running a CO.
lored man to be Influenced by even
that. He said he spoke for his race,
and he warned them against SO i'm
prudent step. The colored man,
he said, was not qualified for such a
responsible position, and they were
not yet out of the woods. It would
impede their progress to put colored
men forward as candidates for the
Convention. Hopkins was also op-
posed to colored man. He said the
colored man didn't have the sense to
do anything. He wanted white
man, but radical white man, whom
they could trust.
DIR. Dinwiddie, of the Registra-
tion Board, demonstrated against the
nomination of colored men. He
asked: Is it policy so to do? He did
not deny their right; but he asked if
it was policy? He affirmed that it
aDas not If they sent colored man,
the day would come when they would
rue it. The time would come when
they might elect colored men to Office
when they were better educated
and better qualified for such respon-
sible duties. But to do so at this
stage would injnre the Republican
party-it might ruin the Republican
party: He begged them not to do 80
foolish thing.
81. G. Harris (colored) took the
same ground. He said it was danger
Gus to send colored man to the
Convention. But these remonstrances
were of no effect.

Tuesday Morning, October 8. 1867.
Tho Local Press and Its Benefits.

Tho Local Press and Its Benefits.
We penned a few remarks the other
day, concerning the influences and
benefits of the newspaper press gene
rally; but in taking these general
views of the vast usefulness of free
press, in any country, we are prone
to overlook the good results, of
course on more limited scale, which
the humblest representative of news
paperdom, in q town or village, is
instrumental in producing. People
generally, in communities, are slow
to recognize the services of their
local papers in developing the re-
sources and subserving the more i'm
mediate interests of the places in
which they are published, and too
frequently let their journals drag out
n feenie ez;s::oaco, oT sssiii for want of
that support to which they are enti-
tied.
We venture to say that, if the re.
spective histories of many of our
most fourishing towns and cities
could be analysed and dissected, that
it could be successfully shown that
much of their success was owing to
the influence exerted by the newspa-
per; published, perhaps, once week,
but which every week brought to the
notice of its readers in other locali-
ties the benefits, advantages or at
fractions presented by the town or
village in which it is published.
And not only does it do this from
week to week, but it often takes a
wider range of influence, and bene-
fits not only its immediate locality,
but the entire section adjoining, and
not unfrequently extending these
benefits to the whole State. Rail-
roads have been built, businr 3s
houses established. trade and COM
merce extended, mineral resources
pointed out and developed, the vir-
tues of healing springs made known,
establishing popular places of resort,
and thus adding to the wealth of the
neighborhood-and all, very likely,
brought about by the local journal,
which may have been so little es-
teemed. So quietly and unostenta-
tiously has it done its good work,
that the successful and thriving COM
munity do not acknowledge the
agency it most surely had in sowing
the seeds of that prosperity which
the business portion of the commu-
nifty, as well as its tradesmen, are
reaping.
What the leading journals of the
great cities of the Union, with their
widespread circulation and almost
unbounded influence, effect for the
nations prosperity and advancement,
the local journal of remote and
obscure locality will be sure to effect
in its sphere, if properly sustained.
We would, then, urge our people not
only to subscribe and pay for the
news journals published here and in
other cities, but also give a good sup
port to their local or District papers.
They will, in the end, whether the
printer succeeds or not, reap the
benefit.
