day evening, an old man by the name
of James Mason, of Crab Orchard,
arrived in our city on the train from
Frankfort, and started down Floyd
Street in search of clearinghouse.
When between Main and Market
Streets he was halted by three men,
who demanded of him his lie or his
money" He was so taken by sur
prise that, before he had chance to
speak word, or to comply with the
polite demand of the highwaymen, he
was knocked down. They took from
him his carpetsack and hand trunk.
They also took from his person his
overcoat, in the pocket of which was
a fine pistol.

NEW York, Dec. Il, 1867.
Editors journal:
To write all that one thinks about
this wonderful city would hardly be
prudent under all circumstances, for
one must needs say things that very
few would believe. On the surface
of society all seems fair and cheerful,
but 60 below and see the under strata,
with its squalid poverty and destitu-
ton, It's wo- begone misery and wretch
edness, and belief itself is staggered.
That human beings can live at all
from the proceeds of the scraps that
they may gather out of the street
sweepings, as the rag pickers do, seems
perfectly incredible. Men. women
and children search as eagerly for bits
of cloth, cigar. stumps, broken glass.
&C., as the gold digger for the precious
ore. The most Of them appear to be
foreigners, and proba bly, have no idea
of the vastness of our country, and
the great demand for labor in the
rural districts, never having passed
beyond the city limits.
There are numerous other objects
of interest in and about this great
city that time would fail US to even
make mention of, but of them many
of your readers have already heard.
The Croton Water Works, the spaci-
Gus buildings, the Central Park, the
extensive wharves and magnificent
ocean steamers, are all objects that
won Ia demand attention
But the time has arrived for our
departure West, and so we must bid
farewell to Gotham and its busy tribes,
perhaps forever.
Yours, as ever, ROVER.

Regulations which formerly were local are
now universal, and national fame, or at least
national notOriety, is 10 longer The slow growth
of years, but the immediate creation of the
locomotive, the newspaper. and the tele-
graph. No man can speak one emphatic
word that is not instantly repeated by innu-
nlerablc echoes from Maine to Louisiana. The
South sends her orators TO Connecticut the
North pays the debt by sending Henry Wilson
to Charleston. IL is natural tlen that the
Presidential candidate should be like George
Francis Train or Colorado Jewett--a man
with the world for his home, spending
his life in steamboats, and cars. NO
candidate will stay at home if he can
help it, The candidates are all fitting, fitting,
and every day adds to the number. We do
not know that all the gentlemen we have men
toned are Presidential candidates, but Rumor
will have it that they are. Yet what poiitl-
tai capital can Gen. Sherman make of

ambitious Congressman hope to secure by
shooting at buffalo, and being shot at by
Sioux and Cheyennes; what good will 1t DO

for the perils of the railroad, have indeed
about one chance of the Presidency to ninety
nine of a collision or an explosion, and travel
may teach them this truth. A far better re-
suit than the mere making Of a President may
come from these journeyings. If the people
learn to know the leaders, the leaders are
taught by the people. No man can travel
far and intelligently observe without
discovering that the almost universal
sentiment demands the speedy reconstruction
of the Southern States. The responsibility OF
success is weighty, and it rests upon the North
We have placed ten States under military rule !;
we have prescribed the qualifications of voters,
and given the ballot to hundreds of thousands
who never before possessed it. We have begun
the experiment, and must watch 1T TILL the end.
Upon all our public men, therefore, we
urge cooperation in the work OF re-
construction, and securing all rights for all
men. Whether it is to the East. West
North, or South that they turn their steps,
let them not forget that the great
work before us is not the making OF
a President, but the restoration of the coun-

New-York tribune., 1867-05-14

Senator Wilson is talking in Georgia to mixed
gatherings of white and cOlored people, and he
speaks plainly. He tells them that the people
of whom they are part, are the superiors OF
Presidents Congresses and Supreme Courts
This will no doubt shock the sensibilites OF
Gov. jenkins and his friends only less than
Mr.. Wilson's statement that Congress will not
submit to the dismissal of the blacks from en-
ployment on account of the way they vote
Mr.. Wilson clinches this pOine by the declara-
ton that men base enough to punish the black
man for his enfranchsement have no right to
complain if their property is confiscated. The
provocation for such a warning as this is
ample, and those to whom it is addressed have
every reason to profit by it. The fact that a
Northern Senator can speak truths like these
to the common people of the South is in itself
roo sSnrinO
