The Washington Star, organ of Mayor
Wallacl, and theless rabid Democracy says
"Too sudden and wholesale q conversion
of the lately defeated Southern malcontents
to Republicanism would he suspicious, and
not nearly as hopeful for the political future
of the South, as the indications that their
change of attitude in reference to negro suf-
fragc and other questions involved in the
scheme of reconstruction under the military
bills, is being gradually and painfully accom-
plished, and meets with considerable opposi-
lion from some in whom the old rebel spirit
is still unconeuered. The press and people
are taking sides for and against reconstruc-
ton, and every day the dividing line is being
more sharply defined. In Richmond, the
Times may be taken as the exponent OF the
impracticable, hard-headed school ofold fogy
politicians, while the Wig represent theii
opponents.
The impracticables continue to stultify
themselves, as they have always done, IN
every possible way. Thus they tell the CO.

while at the same time they boast Of Demo-
cratic triumphs on "great national issues,
said issues generally amounting to just thi'
one of whether these dear colored friends

is deceived, however, consequently there il

Thousands of earnest and benevolent peo-
pie, everywhere throughout the country, will
be saddened to hear of the death Of George
J.. Stearns, of Boston, one of the most kind
hearted men in the nation. This melancholy
event took place at New York, on Tuesday
evening last of congestion of the lungs. The
Boston advertiser says -
Few of our citizens, not in strictly public
lille were so widely known as this energetic
laborer for radical reform. He was one of
the most prominent and liberal friend of Kan
sas in the early and dark days Of the struggle
for that territory, and went into the cause
with his whole soul, from rooted abhor-
renee of slavery. He formed at that time a
strong friendship with John Brown, and in
the investigation at Washington after the
IIarper's Ferry affair, if we remember right
ly, Mr.. Stearns was summoned as a witness
from whose examination more was expected
than was actually obtained. During the war
he was an indcfatigable laborer for the gov
eminent, and it was one Of the most singular
episodes of his life that he was sent into Ten
nessec as a major in the adjutant- generals
department, to raise black troops, Andrew
johnson then being military governor OF the
State. AT the close of the struggle Major
Stearns began at once to agitate for impartial
suffrage, and for this purpose undertook an
immense distribution of papers and docu-
mens, which resulted in his establishing the
weekly paper called the Right Way, which
was only recently discontinued, and of which
| $4,000 copies were distributed in some
weeks. Besides his activity in the questions
growing out of slavery, Major Stearns had
wide interest in public discussions of fl
nance and currency. His philanthropy and
generosity were not limited by any special
class of considerations, but in every humane
and liberal work he was jealous and boun-
tiful co-operator.
| Major Stearns is said to have been about
sixty years of age His personal appear
ance did not indicate this, but on the other
hand he had for some time shown the signs
of overtasked strength and Of delicate If not
decaying health. The vast amount of toll
which he imposed upon himself in his en-
thusiastic labors for others, in addition to
the cares of business in which he had
amassed large fortune, was plainly too
great for him.
His funeral took place from his residence
in Medford, on Friday afternoon. Among
those present were George Thompson,
William Lloyd Garrison and Ralph Waldo
Emerson, the last of whom, as well as the
ministers present, spoke in testimony of the
personal worth of the deceased

AT meeting of the prominent citizens of

Speech of Rev. Daniel watkins. al
Nashville. 8ei'

The .s Conservatives of Tennessee at
tempted recently to hold a Convention OF
colored citizens who would support their
ticket, at Nashville. The result was mis-
cradle fizzle, not more than four or five col
ored men being found who would stultity
themselves in such way. The crowd pre-
sent called out the Rev. Daniel Watkins, an
aged and respectable colored minister, TO
make speech, which he did, and is thus
reported:-
The venerable old man, with great reluct-
ance, took the stand. Silence was restored,
and he delivered a very wise and handsome
speech. He referred to the fact that his
| father had been a soldier under jackson and
had voted until 1884 that for thirty three
years he had lived in this city,-had behaved
| himself as a man and Christian, had OBJ
tanned fair education,-and that all this
time he had been denied the rights and priv
ieges of manhood. He had i'll his early
wears read in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. that all men are created equal that
they are endowed by their Creator win GER
tain inalienable rights, and that the Consti-
tuition was formed to protect and perpetuate
these rights. But, said he, through all these
long wears have been treated as though
,vprc moi n man But now the Congress OF
Tho United States, and the Legislature of
this State. have invested me with the rights
of manhood and ask Conservative gentle

sense, would they not pronounce me fool

GOV. Orr DenOunces the Democratic
Party. ~

u
At meeting of the Charleston Board OF
Trade, on the I'd of April, Gov. Orr, being
called upon, made a lengthy speech on the
subject of reconstruction. Although disfran-
chised himself by the terms of the bill lately
passed, and disappearing strongly of many
of the provisions of the act, he still urged
that the situation be accepted in good faith,
and the necessary steqs be taken TO restore
South Carolina to the Union. With refer
ence to his old friends-the Democracy OF
the North he says
al know there is an apprehension wide
spread at the North and West that after the
reconstruction of the Southern States, we
shall fall into the arms ofour old allies and
associates, the old Democratic party. say
to YOU, gentlemen, however that | would
give no such pledges. We have accounts to
settle with that party, gentlemen, before l,
at least, will consent to affiliate with it.
(Good, good, and applause. Many of you
well remember that when the war tirst COM
menced, great hopes and expectations were
held out by our friends in the North and
West, that there would be no war, and that
if il commenced il would be north of Mason
and Dixons line, and not in the South. You
know, Sir, Qurning to Gen. Sickles) that
faith was pledged, and will now state that
if that faith had been properly carried out,
there is no probability that any state but
South Caroline would have seeded from tue
Federal Union. Again, during the pendeney
of the Constitutional Amendment, every
Northern newspaper, and almost every Demo-
crat in the country, urged upon the South 10
reject its provisions. A lew weeks only
elapsed, and yet we find that on the passage
Of this Sherman bill, our Democratic friends,
acting in conjunction with old Thad. Stevens,
were instrumental in incorporating on that
| bill its most odious features. 1t went back
TO the Senate, was finally adopted, and every
one of the Democratic newspapers all over
the North, so far as / am informed, have
come out and urged the Southern people "a
accept the bill. ! say to you therefore, that
in my judgment,i it is time for us TO seek new
| friends and n new alliance"

The Richmond Wig, of April 5th, thus
describes an accidental meeting of Senator
Wilson with Henry A. Wise, in that city: =
Senator Wilson is still in town. Yester-
day he walked about town and rambled into
the Capitol. He walked into the library un-
heralded, and engaging the services Of Albert
Thornton, took a look from the roof of the
building. AS he was going out of the liz
brary, whom should he meet but Gen. Wise,
and the two had a chat The Senator put
his back against the railing, and the General
stood in front of him with book under his
arm, and they presented curious contrast,
the great unreconstructed and the great de-
structive. The Senator did not seem to be
at all afraid Of the soldier, although said
Senator stood in such position that, with
the tip of his heel OF a slight dig in the eye,
the latter could have tumbled the former
clean over the railing to the floor below, and
no ore could have been the wiser as to who
did it. We didn't see any sign Of the bowie
| knife or a coat of mail, or a revolver on the
| Senator's person by way of precaution
against rebs, but there were outward signs
Of good eating and drinking, greatly in con-
trast with the condition of the poor starved
reb. One thing is certain, Mr.. Wilson may
go where he pleases, no Southern man will
harm him, and he knows it.
