The various committees eXerted them

well did they succeed. The impromptu

partakeD of. Dancing vas kept up till

All Hands Up!

On Easter Monday last, after Mr.. Gales
had spoken and Mr.. Battle had spoken, and
Gov. Worth had spoken, all in the interest
of conservatism, alias Rebeldom, Mr.. Taylor
was called upon by the crowd, and follow
ing in few remarks, lie closed by calling on
the colored people to know what thew
thought of what had been said. He said he
wanted all the Republicans present to hold
up their hands, and instantly all the hands
of all the colored people of both sexes were
held up! This showing of hands," AS it
is called in England. was conclusive. II
proved beyond all doubt that the Easter
Monday meeting, called by the Sentinel and
Gov. Worth, and addressed by the latter.
was unanimously against Gov. Worth and
his faction
All hands up for the Union, and all rebels
down where they should be. Good!
The Sentinel knows all about this result of
it's own meeting, but it still claims that the
meeting was success" for its side. We

The Sentinel of Monday evening said that
the meeting of colored people in Capitol
Square was an "ordelly body y on Tuesday
it claimed the meeting as success for the
Conservative, rebel faction; on Wednesday,
having heard of the meeting at the End
Baptist Church, the Sentinel was silent
dumb as a catfish. On Thursday it busters
somewhat, and quotes approvingly the fol-
lowing from the Richmond Examiner:
! ut is not difficult to see where all this will
end 1t must result in war of races, when,
for their own protection, the respectable
whites will have to enter into societies;
| pledging themselves to employ no colored
! man tor any purpose-no colored barber, or
shoemaker or hackman. or waiter, or black
smith, or carpenter, or bar tender-and
eventually no colored ploughman or reaper"
There is in the above palpable threat,
that if the colored man does not yield up his
| freedom and vote for " old massa," he is to
be starved out-tortured into submission on
bread and water Those who starved their
own race, conscripted, shot and hanged
whites for opinions sake, will certainly not
stop short of the same bloody political perse-
cutions towards another race, for whose
rights they entertain no respect. Stick pin
there.
The bare assertion of the Sentinel that the
meeting on Monday last was called by the
colored people, is also unsustained by public
evidence There was no call for Messrs.
Gales. Battle or Worth. but when they clos
ed there was an universal cry for Messrs.
Harris and Taylor. These gentlemen, with
the aid of Mr. Jones, closed the meeting in
fine style, But who called it? Really, we
shall have to ask Stephen"

DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS COMING TO
THE SoUTH.-A correspondent of a
northern journal writes from New York
that the Democratic Central Committee
of that city have determined to organize
a grand campaigning expedition through
the Southern States during the coming
summer, with view of preparing in
that quarter for the approaching presi
dental election. The best speakers are
to be put in the field, and there will be
no want of funds. The exertions the
Republicans are already making to Sc
cure the suffrage of the freedmen would
seem to have suggested this proceeding.
1t is understood that the President, in
stead of coming to New York, as he
promised he would after the adjourn
ment of the Senate, will make pill grim
age in the same direction, and immedi-
ately precede the Democratic orators.

Georsia-Treason Rebuked.

The following correspondence has taken
place between Gen. Pope, commanding the
Georgia district, and Gov. Jenkins, of
Georgia:
Gen. Pope asks Gov Jenkins, if he had
seen General Order No. 1, issued April 10th,
in reference to organizing the State under
the military bill, before he Gov. Jenkens)
issued the address to the people of Georgia,
advising non-action until the question was
decided by the Supreme Court.
Gov. Jenkins replies that he had suppos
ed that he was exercising such freedom in
expressing OF his opinion relative to public
matters, rs seems still accorded to citizens of
the Republic, and did not imagine that it
was abridged by the accident of the writer
or speakers holding office. In the future,
he should do and say what he believed was
required by duty ami his oath ofoffice. This
| the Governor hopes will not involve either
conflict or controversy between them in the
execution of their respective trusts, as he
thinks it need not. Everything of this char
acter he desires to avoid.
Gen. Pope says, in reply, that Gov Jen
kins' explanation is satisfactory, so far as
the past is concerned. But, being sent to
execute the laws of Congress, he will carry
out the provisions of the military bill, which
recognize the existing State governments as
merely PROVISIONAL the object being to al
low these to continue for the administration
of State laws, during the progress of recon-
struction. Had Congress contemplated OPP
position from the civil authorities, it would
have leeislated the State governments out of
existence. Gen. Pope requires that the civil
machinery of the States shall not be per-
verted to Illustrate the execution of the laws
Civil officers are required not to use their in
fluence to prevent the people from submit
ting to and carrying out the laws of Con-
gress.
After discussing the matter fully, he says
that lie will be compelled to remove all Of
fcers, who, while in office, use their influence
to prevent the execution of the laws, but
hopes that harmonious relations may con-
tinue between the military and civil authori-
ties
We noticed in the papers recently, but did
not publish this letter of Gov. Jenkins, da-
ted at Washington, in which he advised the
act until the Supreme Court could pronounce
upon it. We are glad that Gen. Pope has
administered this rebuke 1t is well-timed.
But such Governors as Jenkins, Orr, Worth,
and the Mississippi Governor-we have for
gotten his name-can not be trusted in the
work of reconstruction. They need con-
slant watching, and they will give trouble
to the commanding Generals. Congress
ought to have wiped out the rebel State Or
carnations in the reconstruction act. 1t
will not be too late to do this when that
body re-assembes in july

SUFFRAGE IN EURoPE.-To one who
follows the development of popular
rights in different parts of the world
with care it must be interesting to OBJ
serve the attitude of the ruling classes
in England and in Prussia, respectively,
on the vital question of suffrage. it
was only after spirited agitation OF
years. duration that the /" tinaIity'' of
1882 was reached in the former country.
To-day England again is in the midst
of turmoil on the same subject, and
though the ruling elasses-the aristocra-
cy and landed proprietors-seemingly
acknowledge the necessity OF further
concessions on their part to the people,
they seek to hedge in the exercise OF the
franchise with so many conditions that
the question of right seems to be ignor-
ed. In Prussia and the North German
Confederacy universal suffrage was in
troduced at once The King OF Prussia
at first opposed it, but the clear-headed
Bismarck triumphed. Heis said to hold
to the belief that if not given the PEG
pie would take it, sooner or later, and
exercise it against the Government. In
late deb tie in the German Parliament
he said:
Universal suffrage is a legacy which
has been transmitted to us by the ma
tional aspiration for German unity
The Governments would prefer differ
ent system, but they have not proposed
any substitute. l know nothing more
absurd or more pitiful than the Prus-
sian law which sanctions election by
classes and by indirect suffrage, caprice,
and harshness, accompanying the tax
rated suffrage. 1t would not be pru-
dent to combine the right to the suffrage
with social or class distinctions. Indi
rect suffrage alters the expression of
public opinion direct and universal
suffrage will introduce talent into Par
lament"
These observations were received |
with loud cheers, and in the same sit
ting vote by ballot and the eligibility
of all public functionaries, including &C.
clesiastics and judges, were adopted

PROFESSOR AGAssIz's MUsEUM.-The
report of Professor Agassiz, director Of
the Museum of Comparative Zoology at
Cambridge, for the past year, has been
laid before the Massachusetts Leeisla-
ture. The principal work of the year
was the reception and arrangement of
the immense collections made in Brazil
by Professor Agassiz, yet there are still
about sixty kegs and cases not unpack-
ed. In the class of fishes no less than
fifty thousand specimens were actually
counted, representing over two thou
sand two hundred species, two thousand
of which are probably new to science
The various departments of the institu-
ton have not been suffered to languish,
however, and considerable additions and
exchanges were effected.
AS it was deemed best to begin the
Museum in small building, and en-
large as its wants increased, the present
building has become full to overfowino.
The collections of reptiles is probably
the largest in the country, and NAV
compare favorably with those ofthe old
world. That of fishes exceeds anything
now existing, exceeding those of tie
British Museum and Jarden DIES Plan
ties taken together. The number of spe-
cies Of this class of vertebrates is more
than nine thousand. No museum is
richer in its collections of radiates.-
Certain branches of natural history have
been fostered, to the neglect of others,
in order to fill wants not supplied by
other museums, and to avoid the mis-
take often made by such institutions of
each other.
