EDTToRs AVALANCHE: Having noticed
in your paper Of this morning several pub
locations from one .. NJ. Trotter," pro-
posing to organize Relief and Aid Societies,
and other benevolent Institutions for the
benefit Of the destitute widows and orphans
Of the South, deem il my duty 70 publish
nay conviction of the unworthiness Of that
individual, and 10 warn our people against
having anything whatever TO do with any
Of bis putative benevolent. schemes.
In 1854 this man was trayersing the
States Of Mississippi and Alabama on just
such pretense as the one now set up, and
on the complaint Of parties who declared
that he had fraudulenily converted 10 his
own use funds and property entrusted TO
him for the benefit OF the destitute, l had
him arrested, and thorough investigation
made into his conduct in the premises. The
result.wns utterly unfayorable TO Trotter
80 much SO, that cannot withhold this ex-
preston of Ay convictions that he is not
Trustworthy in connection with any benevo-
lent purpose.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
n. B. FORREST.

to the fact that since the Increase Of com :

gentlemen have been better enabled to
bring their wives and daughters here than
heretofore, and to indulge in the gaietes
and dissipations of the capital

day evenings ale very largely attended,
The visitors are, however. almost wholly
from the north and east, but very few
Washingtonians mingling with them
shoddy appears in all its glory at these
receptions Of Speaker Colfax Suffers
and contractors, bummers and cotton
thieves, accompanied by their wives and
daughters, may be seen there. Yankee
schoOl-marms and successful pedlers. the
perpatatic book -vender and the white era
waited parson may be heard in the Speak
er's saloons, dilating on the snfulness of
the southerners and the superior status of
the people OF the north and of Yankecdom
In particular. There, too, may bcsce the
military men without merit--such as But
Ter, Banks, Loan, Schenck and the host of
Quixotic heroes who have disgraccd their
country and enriched themselves by their
doughty deeds. Thad Stevens, with his
saturnine countenance, the very impcrson-
alton of an earthly fend, is there too. al
ways surrounded by bevy of puritanical
misses who look upon the Pennsylvania
Apollo as their beau ideal of a statesman
'Tis worthy of remark that the best society
as it is called, is never seen there. For
eign ministers nor any oftheir families, or
attaches even, make their appearance
among the mongrel groups who fill the

The Buffalo Courier is strenuously op>
posed to the calling of National Demo>
cratic Convention. 1t very sensibly re-
marks, in alludipg to the movement, that
"At present there is positively nothing
for National Convention to do. except to
furnish capital for the radical dlsunionin-
lists. The Rump Congress is precipitating
the party it purports to represent to des-
truction, and in the name of common sense
why should the Democracy interpose to
prevent the consummation so devoutly to
be wished !
When the radicals have perfected their
revolutionary schemed and are ready to
present their programme to the people of
the country, there will be ample time for
the lovers Of constitutional liberty to ar>
range the details of the Presidential cam-
pagn There IS nothing to be gained and
much to be lost by hasty action. Our
platform is the restoration Of the Union,
as every body knows. and yard or two
Of we'll worded resolutions will have no
beneficial influence. The agitators for
Convection, nine times out Of
ten, are played out politicians, who wish to
air their ancient rhetoric and gaivanize
themselves into fictitious life

more for us just now, than we can possibly
do for ourselves"

..acnf OF the fs.asks.

In advance OF the coming Mayoralty
election IN Georgetown. the blacks of that
city held meeting and adopted a plat
form embracing perfect equality betwee n
whites and blacks, which they succeeded
in getting 4 candidate to accept. This
action may be regarded as the first rrac-
teal Development Of the impartial suffrage
system, and will, probably, be followed up
at the election in Washington. The gist
Of the principles comprised in the George
town platform are contained in the follow
ing questions:
"Wiil you. if elected, so execute the
laws and ordinances cf the city as to admit
of no distinction on account OF color, as
required by the act Of Congress knowa as
the Civil Rights Bill?
"Will you. when laborers and mechan-
les are to be employed 10y the corporation,
so distribute the labor as to give employ>
ment to whites and blacks alike"
This may be considered as opening the
ball on the part of the blacks, and is sig
nifcant as indicating the probable shape
which impartial suffrage would take else
where as well rs in Tic District of Colum-
bia.
