/ feel the great danger that will in
evitably befall the colored race of The
South by pursuing extreme, or what
are commonly termed radical meas
ures. The white Radicals wish to
make cats paw of us by throwing us
"to the 'front.'" in political point OF
view, as they did in the rebellion, be
cause we are ignorant and do not I'M
derstand their schemes. Why do they
court the favor of the freedmen? 1t
is because you are ''loyap' to them. l
contend that your best insterest is to
be loyal to yourselves, for your own
advancement, by not adopting their
wild policy.
The freedmen can live happily and
prosperously in the Southern States
only by standing on a Conservative
platform. True, these Radicals have
made us voters, to suit their own sell
fish ends, but have they not prohibited
us, at the same time, from exercising
the right of sitting in the jury box
and the right ofholding office? They
say that we shall not vote for those of
our own color, and that it is a high
crime for us to vote for whom we
please. Are we not capable of think
ing and acting for ourselves2 If not,
we are, in my opinion, no better than
political slaves-mere tools, to be
used when needed, and then thrown
aside. Never will / consent to thus |
encourage the wild schemes of these

ECONOMY.

1t is not our purpose, as a journal
ist, to dictate to any one in reference
to the management of their domestic
affairs; but we feel impelled, by a
sense of duty, to submit to our read.
ers few reflections on that subject
We need not tell the people that, as a
mass, we are poor and oppressed.
This we all feel and know. The hard
times of to-day, will be harder next
summer. In many sections of the
late Confederacy, the wall for bread
comes to us from starving populace.
The failure of the crop last year, and
the rather unauspicious prospects of
this season, admonish us of coming
day of priyaiton. Under such circum-
stances, all Of us, without exception,
should at once retrench our private
expenditures to the lowest figure con-
sistent with ordinary comfort. If q
coveted article of dress or ornament,
or furniture can be dispensed with, it
should not be purchased now. If the
palate Graves luxurious food, let us re-
~ .-~-L--
pinched by hunger, and deny ourselves
mere superfuities, that we may thus
save few dollars tor the dark hour
that is coming, and enable us to give a
few dollars, from time to time, to the
poor widows and orphans of the
South who are this day houseless and
almost friendless. Common humani-
ty dictates this course. Christian du-
by commands it. We admit the prop
osition to be generally true, that every
nan has a right to spend his own
money according to his will but, in
lines like the present, we do not be-
ieve that any man or woman of the
South, blessed with superfuity, has
light, under the Divine law, to squan-
Ter money for gaws and luxuries,
whilst the piteous cry for food comes
O them in the midst of their splendid
evelries. We are not about to sermao-
ice. We leave that to better men.
We submit these hints in all serious
ess, expecting that persons of hu-
nanity and good sense will think upon
he suggestions, and govern them
elves accordingly"

We find published in the Clarion an
able letter from Hon. Fulton Ander-
son, one of the most eminent lawyer
of Mississippi, giving his opinion as
to the wisest course to be persued by
the South in the matter of reconstruc-
ton. 1t is certainly the most conclu-
sive argument in favor of the adoption
of the provisions of the military bill
that we have yet seen. Mr.. Anderson
at least is one of the men in Mississippi
who cannot be accused of seeking po-
litical preferment or position, and his
views upon this important question
should meet with due consideration.
Mr.. Anderson thinks that the South
will not be making concessions to the
Radical party in adopting the military
bill, or surrendering any question of
honor and principle. 1t is a measure
that must be adopted in order to pro
tect ourselves from further oppres-
sions.-Southern Liberty Herald.

The annual election for directors of

largest that has ever been given in
any election of the company, and the
present board of directors have been
re- elected by great majority, by the
private stockholders and vote cast to

Mississippi
The Legislature at the close of the
session passed an act taking from the
Governor and the Mayor of New Or
leans the authority to vote the stock

which together would be one hundred

law.
The governor and mayor appeared

ests of the State and city, but the
commissioners refused to receive their
votes.
There were two tickets, which re-
ceived the following votes:

The English Reform Bill.

Though the Government has succeeded in pass
ing its Reform Bill in the English House of Com
mons. the opposition of Gladstone and Bright was
50 determined, and their exposure 50 searching
that no permanent result has been secured. The
Liberals will create a popular feeling in favor o.
4 further extension Of suffrage, and their day o.
triumph viii surely come. The mass meetings
are large. frequent and enthusiastic, and are per-
vaded by the feeling that the ministerial party
have no faith in the people. We shall be obliged
TO await the slow progress of the mails, to estimate
at their real value the success of Disraeli and the
opposition of the Liberal leaders. The telegraph
gives us meagrc results only and fails to record
the terms of the compromise. What the opposi-
ton propose to demand appears from a speech by
Mr.. Otway To his constituents. He said
Looking at household suffrage as the proper
resting-place of the franchise in this country, he
was prepared to approach it by degrees, and there
fore he had readily supported Mr.. Gladstone's
bill of last session as being the right and best
course. The days of IS rating, or any other
rating, are now thoroughly passed away, and the
best course for the Liberal Party now to take was
to propose household suffrage, pure and simple.
Such Il course would set the question ut rest for
many years 10 come; and what, he would ask,
was there To prevent the elective franchise being
bestowed on the poor man as well rs the rich
man? Their opponents always argued as if in
conceding the franchise they Were fighting against
an enemy. The present measure was one which,
in Its present form, was altogether unsatisfactory
to the country and if it could not be amended so
AZ to bring il into harmony with the demands of
the Liberal Party, it would be far better that the
bin should be rejected on the third reading, and
the passing of a really substantial measure defer
red to another session. At present, the treatment
of this question was in the hands of a Govern
lnent which had always been the avowed and I'M
compromising opponents of reform. Would it
not he better, therefore, when they were about
cfiecting a great constitutional change, that it
should he effected by friends rather than by those
who had always shown themselves to be opposed
to change? He, for one, could not assent TO the
doctrine which they now heard put forward in
certain quarters, that it would be better to pass
measures of reform this session, because he
held that it would be n great calamity to pass n
bad measure. This measure of the Government
was incuably bad, because it established AN in
dividual distinction between the rich and the poor
voter.

\ YANKEES PORTRAIT OF NAPOLEON AND EUGE-

from Paris in dispraisc of everything about the

Those who expect to find in the Emperor a fec

seems to be in the prime of life and the full vigor
of health. lie has none of that sleepy, drowsy
look represented / in pictures. His eve is not heavy

when he chooses to lift his head, is brilliant. He
acts like a misanthrope. The expression on his
face is that ola man .ndcd-tired out with Jetes

crouched up in the corner, indifferent To all the
plaudits oi the great crowd, not even deigning to
look on the assembled multitude who watch for

She never appears but the people go into costa
cics. She sits upright in her carriage, bows to
the right and left. not with the air of patronage,
but with genuine goodness and delight, with a
smile that is 50 peculiar 10 her Majesty. Like
Abigail of old, she seems to attempt by her own
courtesy to make up for the churlishness of her
husband. She is Spanish, and her style of beauty
so unlike that of the French that it is marked.
The French ladies are not beautiful, tried by any
standard. either English or American. They are
shorC. dark and fat. Their dress is not becoming:
it is neither tasty nor elegant. The noble ladies,
as they ride in their coaches, are by no means
attractive.
