The Responsibility Of Northern
Democrats for the Rebellion.

The New York World is combating the
assertion of the New York Times, that the
Democrats of the North gave great encou-
ragement to the South to Rebel IN 1S6O-G1
Here is what distinguished Democratic
leader of the South, Governor Orr, of South
Carolina, says upon that point
MANY of you well remember that when
the war first commenced great hopes and e.
peetatioas scere held ont By orr friends in the
the North and West M0t there er0uM be no
scar; and that If it commenced ii acould Be
north Of Mason and Dir0n's line and not in The
South. You know, sir (turning to General
Sickles), that faith was pledged; and will
now state that if that faith had been pro
perly carried out, there is no probability
that any state but South Carolina would
have seeded from the Federal Union,"
Governor Orr is correct. Such were the
hopes and expectations held out by tho
great majority OF the present Northern lead
crs of the Democratic party; and had it moi
been for this position Of the Northern De
mocracy, we should probably have had NJ
general Rebellion at the South. 1t was the
encouragement of Northern Democrats tina
led the South to take that fatal step.

RICHMOND, April 15.-To,day the negroes
commemorated the anniversary of President
Lincolns death. About two thousand met
in "A grove at the edge Of the city, ana were
addressed by two whites and several colored
persons. One Of the whites made radical
speech, cautoning them to beware of the
political designs of the whites, and insist on
equality before the law, and in the schools
One of the colored speakers made Il consery-
atiye speech. He said he was raised at the
South. These were his people and he wanted
to be at peace with them.
To night the theatre was densely packed
to hear addresses by r. i. Daniel, City At
toTney; William ii. M'Farand, President of
Council, and Marmaduke johnson, an emf
nent lawyer, delivered by invitation Of the
colored people. Scion Robinson presided.
All the speakers gave them advice as to their
new relations, advising them not to be led
to suspect the friendly intention Of the white
citizens of the South by designing men, who
were forming them into secret societies for
political purposes. Outside the theatre Il
large crowd of negroes were standing dis
suading Others from going in. The audience
inside were about half colored people. Dur
ing the speeches, when the question of peace
between the whites and blacks was named,
there weIe loud cries for peace

ATLANTA, Ga, May 24-An i'm
portant general order on registration
has just been issued by General Pope,
fixing the registration. The States
OF Georgia and Alabama are District

Board of Registration. Registers are
to take the iron clad oath, and ex-

privileges. The right to register and
vote is governed by military author

from registering or voting, is to be

tract with laborers depriving them of
wages for longer time than that is

A Man Assaulted by Robbers in his
own Room He is Stabbed four
Times and. Robbed of S1S,O00-The
Perpetrators of the Crime Escape
81 Recovery of their Victim Doubtful.

;o CHICAGO, May 23.-The papers this
afternoon are filled with minute de-
tails of another shocking robbery and
attempt to murder a sporting man
last night in one of the most public
buildings in the heart of the city.
From the mass of matter published,
L gather the following facts: -
Beynold's Block, near the Post
Office, fronting ON Dearbon Street, is
occupied by numerous business men,
sports. loogers, &c. One man, Geo.
w. Lee, well known sporting man
and horse owner, lodged in the four tn
story. He retired at an early hour
last night, and some time afterwards a
neighbor passing by his room heard
groans inside, and upon investigation
found Lee on his knees half dead, and
covered with blood flowing from sew
eral gaping wounds, and his clothing
as well as the room bearing evidences
of a bloody and terrible struggle. ii
His pockets were turned inside out,
his skull fractured, and his face hor-
ribly mutilated. Medical aid being
called in, he soon recovered sufi
ciently to say that he had been
attacked by some unknown person
having some weapon of an unknown
character, who had thus wounded
him, and then robbed him of eigh-
teen thousand dollars in Government
bonds, and a gold watch and chain of
great value A wallet, containing
seven hundred dollars, however, the
rufian had overlooked. To-day he
is in a very precarious condition, and
the robber is still at large, although
the police are on the alert.
