Washington News.

The following is a copy of the order of
the President for suppressing armed Or
CARNATIONS in the District of Columbia It
is addressed to General Grant:
Il am reliably advised that there are
within the District of Columbia a number
of armed organizations formed without au-
thority of law, and for purposes which have
not been communicated to the Government.
Being at the present time unnecessary for
the preservation of order or the protection
Of the civil authority, they have excited
serious apprehensions as to their real design.
You will therefore take efficient steps for
promptly disbandiag and suppressing all
such illegal organizations"
This order is dated last Monday the 4th
instant, and applies to all armed military
organizations, whether composed of negroes
or white men.
General Grant reports that. besides the
companies composed of eolored men, there
are four companies of white citizens, whose
organizations are likewise unauthorized.
Hon. E. B. Washburn, who has been here
two or three days. had long-interview with
General Grant to-day, the purport of which
has not been made public; but gossip has it
that the conversation WAS relative to the
probable candidacy of Grant for the Presi-
dency.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The negro militia
ry companies in the District have been for

shows that the debt bearing coin interest

A REMARKABLE RESCUE.

A correspondent of the Memphis
Christian advocate furnishes the fol
lowing incident: ,....
On Thursday, September 26th, while
Mr.. w. A. Swain, of Manlysville,
Henry county, Tennessee, was drawing
a bucket Of water. his little son Henry,
All interesting child of three summers,
was suddenly precipitated into the we'll :,
in which, as is sometimes the case, two
buckets were used. The child, it is
thought impressed with the idea of as
sisting his father, had, unnoticed, taken
hold of the descending rope, and was
thus instantly jerked over the curbing
of the well. The first intimation Mr..
Swain had of the casualty was seeing
the child falling headforemost, and
striking against the bucket.
The feelings of the parent may we'll
be imagined. There was no time for
reflection. The peril of the child called
for prompt, heroic action. In a mo-
ment, quick as thought, Mr.. Swain
seizes the well rope and follows the
child, determined to save him or share
his watery bed. In another moment
he finds his child, convulsively presses
him to his bosom, and rises with feel
ings of triumphant JOY to the surface
of the water. Here he sustains himself
till preparations are made for raising
him securely out of the well. This
was soon and safely done. The child
suffered no injuries other than few
bruises, and when brought to the sur
face of the water, with great GOODNESS
and presence Of mind he inquired for
his hat, which he had lost in the fall
We dare say that such an occurrence,
with similar gratifying results, has no
parallel.

THE Low PRICE OF COTTON ANDsTHE cor
TONTAX. ~ "a

Cotton has fallen to price which
promises to ruin the planter and dis.
hearten the laborer. Sixteencents was.
yesterday, round figure for the sample.
Taking from this the United States tax
and other charges, and the planter does
we'll if he nets thirteen cents. The
most careful managers report that 1t
can not be raised at an expense less
than fifteen cents per pound, and 1t mas
cost many more. The losses OF our
people then will be fearful, even where
the crop has been fair and much more
where it has been partial Q. total
failure. 1t can not but cripple and dis
hearten our industry in such manner
as to make it's effects felt throughout
the country. The evil threatened IS OF
sufficient magnitude to demand the ear
Hest attention of the November Con-
gress. 1t is a question of ruin to halt
the country, and of perhaps fatal injury
to our national finances, and relief
should not be postponed.
A tax like this, of from fifteen to
twenty per cent, upon single raw pro-
duct of the soil, and upon none other,
is grossly unjust, and, like all injustice,
contains the seeds of disaster. IT de-
presses the production and trade III COT
ton. The collection of the tax imposes
additional and excessively annoying
burdens upon the planter, and it is said
to consume nearly all of the tax, s. that
little reaches the Government. 1t puts
both our producers and manufacturers
at great disadvantage with foreign
producers and manufacturers, thereby
increasing the balance of trade already
against us, raising the price of gold and
proportionally destroying the value Of
our currency.
We are glad to see that the cotton
manufacturers of the North are at
length waking up to the fact that the
tax is discrimination against them as
we'll as the Southern planters and la
borers. At a recent meeting in Phi
ladelphia they alleged that it would if
persisted in, drive them out of the mar
ket entirely and leave the whole field
exclusively to British manufacturers.
Congress should act promptly in behalf
of the South, the North and the whole
country, and relieve us of this burden,
too grievous to be borne. Let it, if it
will, tax the idle landed capital of the
South, force the great estates into the
market and into some service to man
kind, and not longer discourage pro-
ductive industry. Fortunately for the
South it will have this year something
besides cotton. The drouth in the
North has damaged the corn of that
section, and we may have some to spare.
For everything we have beside cotton
we have promise of good prices
Our dependence upon and returns from
other products, as we'll as the low price
of cotton, should direct our planters at
tention to wiser variety and to more
intelligent cultivation. -Memphas Post.

Some of the bee raisers in California have
hit upon novel expedient to increase the
product of their hives. They place the hives
on broad-bedded wagon, with springs, and
allow the bees to range at will on the low
lands along the bay of Suisun, San Puebla or
San Francisco, during the latter part of the
rainy season, when the weather is pleasant,
and during the early spring. As the season
advances, and the flowers become more
abundant on the uplands, they drive higher
and higher up the mountains, the bees al
ways returning at night to the spot where
they left the hives in the morning In time
the valleys and foothills become parched
and bare, but the mountain lights still re-
tain their verdant covering, and the bee pro-
prietors ascends until the jumping-of place
is reached, or the clouds in the heavens
warn HIM of the approach of the rainy sea-
son, when he commences to descend. This
system enables him to take thrice the usual
amount of honey from the bees every season.
1t is the favorite one in Contra Costo County,
around Mount Diablo.

GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES FOR SOUTH
ERN RELIEF.-Tbe law of the last Congress
to relieve the suffering in the South was
signed by the President on the 30th of last
March, and orders to Cease operations there
under were issued by the bureau on the 26th
OF August. Relief was therefore offered to
the people of the South, without regard to
color, race or sex, for period of about five
months. The greater part of the reports of
the agents are in. The distribution of funds
to various States was in reund figures as fol-
lows: Virginia, $12,35O; North Carolina,
$32,5OO; South Carolina, $1O4, ZOO; Georgia,
$125, 100; Alabama, $50, 900; Florida, ST.
900; Mississippi, 5000; Louisiana, Sal
100; Tennessee, $4,000; and Arkansas,
$4,000, making total of about $441, ESQ.,
At the last reports small portions of this
money were yet on hand, but it is believed
that every dollar of it will be required to
settle the outstanding bills. The various
reports lead to the conclusion that between
seventy-fve and eighty thousand different
persons were relieved, some of whom were
supported for weeks, and Others probably
for months. More than half of these per-
sons were whites. The supplies furnished
were mainly corn and pork; the returns
made to the bureau, with a moderate esti-
mate for the few districts not yet in gives an
aggregate about $50, 600 pounds Of pork
and 10000 bushels of corn.

NoIIse for Poor aIen.

awe have already frequently reminded our
readers Of the contempt entertained fersthe
Door BY the secession leaders. We learn
that Goy.Yance referred in Ibis speech in
this City, to certain class of white men
meaning poor men-who never owned any
land. who never will, and who never ought
to own land, He said such men should not
be allowed to tax the lands of the rich. We
learn that Judge Fowle took substantially
the same grounds in his speech. Judge
Fowle heard Gov. Vance's speech, and no
doubt endorses it. The latter urged the
people to vote for Judge Fowle, and that
proves they are very friendly. ....,.,
The rich oligarchs first forced our poor
white men into the war. They then had
them killed up in battle to save their slave
property. Those of them who refused to
fight, they gagged, and bucked, and put in
filthy prisons to languish and die. Some of
them they hanged by the neck, and some
they shot, leaving them to be eaten by the
buzzards. Now, when the war is over, and
we are about to establish a new government,
these same poor men are still told that they
are no6odies-that they must not presume to
take an active part in the elections-that
they ought not to be allowed to vote unless
they own certain amount of property, but
that gentlemen of education and refine.
ment should govern I" Such is the talk of
t Vance-Pell- Fowle men. Are our honest,
hardH orking people going to endorse it r
No! The time has at last come when the
people shall govern. The poor man is now
the equal of the rich man. A poor man has
as much political power now as rich man.
Let him exercise it for the good of his coun-
try We. do not want the poor man to in
.ure or wrong the rich, and the Republican
party will see to it that the rich and the
overbearing shall no longer trumple on the
rights Of the poor The Republican party
is for justice and equality. 1t is as just to
the poor and the humble as it is to the rich.
Remember that when you go to vote. And
also that the secession faction is
the friend of the rich, the indolent. and the
proud, and the enemy of the humble poor
people white and black.

Mark his.

Judge Fowle, of the Superior Court,
candidate for Convention on the Conserva-
tive ticket, says that THE RECONSTRUCTION
ACTS ARE UNwIsE, UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND
DESTRUCTIVE OF LIBERTY. He says that
universal suffrage will lead either to anarchy
or despotism, and in any event to bloodshed.
He says that the present State government
is loyal and constitutional, but that it is now
overridden by acts of Congress, and We live
under military despotism.
He distinctly proposes not to carry ont the
"unwise and unconstitutional acts of Con-
gress" if elected, but holds that other terms
should be dictated to Congress by the State
Convention.
He says that a Constitution, comforting
universal suffrage upon all male citizens if
adopted by the Convention, will be voted
down by the white people, that North Caro-
lima will not reconstruct on that basis.
Hence vote for Judge Fowle is vote
for practical disunionist. Let every loyal
man then vote the WHOLE Republican
ticket, and put his mark of unqualified dis
appreciation upon this advocate of disunion.
All who prefer to remain outside of the IN
ion, under military government, will
vote for him; those who prefer to return to
the Union, according to the laws of Congress,
will vote against him. Vote also against
every Conservative, and for the whole Re-
publican ticket. There is no other refuge
Tor our people save the Union of their tore
fathers. Those who advocate immediate
reconstruction are the messengers of peace
and prosperity; but those who advocate
disunion, are messengers of war, bloodshed,
anarchy and famine. Vote them down at
once and forever! Let us have an era of
PEACE.

CoMpULsoRY EDUCATION. why

C0MP EXPECTATIONS NY
shohld I'VE not haveFa compulsory edu-
cationalsystem in this country? That
the best government is that which
Eroyerns the least, is anaold saying, and
comes in that sententious form which so
readily commends belief. That every
man. within certain restrictions, has a
right to do as he pleases is also true
But whether every man has right to
do as he pleases with another being
whom he has brought into the world,
and who will in his turn be man and
citizen, is another question: =. {
It seems to us that it is our duty to
the next generation, which will be call
ed upon to govern the country in our
place, to give it an education. Will it
not demand it at our hands or lay the
responsibility on our shoulders? We
cannot plead the impracticability of the
compulsory educational system, for the
German States have given us ample ev-
idence of what can be done by law and
it's vigorous execution. Massachusetts
and Rhode Island have each semi
compulsory school system, and so far
as the experiment has been carried it
has been successful in these States. Let
us have such system in New York
The generation which is now growing
up in the ignorance of our back streets
will be as bad an element in future pol
itics as their parents are fresh from the
sinks OF European darkness. We owe
it to the future Republic not to allow
these parents to control their children
in the interests of ignorance.-N Y.
