WHAr Mons OAK WE Do?--The

WHAT More OAK WE Do?-The
New York Stln says: ~ ~
eff it may be said with truth that
no race of suddenly emancipated
bondmen ever exhibited more mode
ration ia the enjoyment of liberty
than the Southern slaves, it may be
said, with equal truth, that no race of
shareholders, OF of property holders
Of any kind, ever exhibited more re-
signation and equanimity under gil
gantic losses than the former slave
owners of the South" They lost
three thousand millions of dollars at
one blow; but they legalized the abo-
lition of slavery, adapted their legis-
lation to the new order of things,
secured to tine freedmen every right
of person and property, gave the
negro judicial protection and reli-
gious instruction, and performed
with fidelity all their obligations to
the General Government"
eff" says the Sun, "the South has
sinned, has it not suffered? If it has
not given proof, in its thorough con-
formity to changed relations, that it
has renewed its allegiance to the
Union in good faith, what proof will
be sufficient? Stripped of three thou
sand millions of property, it has con-
firmed the act by which it was bank
rupted, and gone to work with cheer
full industry to assist in paying the
debt which was incurred in its own
overthrow. If such q people are not
fit to be trusted now, they will never
be fit to bo trusted. Must suspicion,
exclusion and confscation be the per-
petual penalties upon section whose
liberties are inseparable from our
own, and upon whose industry the
future prosperity of the whole coun-
try is largely dependent?"

The crew of the ship Parsee, on
the voyage from San Francisco, for
Hong Kong, mutinied after leaving
the Sandwich Islands. When the
mutiny was discovered, the treasure
room had been entered aud n box
broken open, and it was ascertained
that the crew had conspired to muir
der the captain and officers, take pos
session of the treasure, ($200, OOO,)
scuttle the ship and take to the small
boats. The officers armed them
selves with Henry's rifles, and, after
sharp fight, succeeded in putting
the crew in irons. They were all
negroes, and were shipped in San
Francisco.
The New York Joumalof Commerce
says: SIT appears to be the opinion of
travellers that the negro race is de-
creasing in Africa. 1t is also decreas-
ing among us with fearful rapidity.
BY the time the philanthropists have
established the doctrine of the equality
of the races, it will not be strange if
there are no negroes left to enjoy the
new status"
WANT PAY FOR THEM.-The Mary
land Constitutional Convention has
embodied in the bill of rights de-
claration that "slavery shall not be
established in the State, but, hav-
ing been abolished under the policy
and authority Of the United States,
compensation, in consideration there
of, is due from the United States
Gov. Patton has made arrange
ments for the payment, in New York
and London, of the total interest on
the State debt of Alabama, up to
July 1. The May interest amount
ing to $64, ,731, is already paid; the
interest accruing in June and July
has been forwarded. The aggregate
in ccin is $158,OO8.
The LAST MAN.-The last man in
Tennessee who sold negro slave at
auction and took in payment therefor
Confederate money, is now one of the

There are seve..d men in Georgia
who did the same thing, who want
to be radical candidates for Congress.
The Cincinnati Commercial asks
whether, in the present condition of

The only danger is that they will get

SILVER CHA11cE RECOVERED Til

SILVER CHALICE RECOVERED. The
Charleston Nercury says:
During the siege of Charleston, a
quantity of plate, the church re-
cords and other property belonging
to st. Michael's Church, in this city,
were sent up to Columbia, and stored
there in the vaults of the Bank of
Charleston for safe-keeping. After
the burning of Columbia, no trace of
any of the valuables belonging to the
church could be found, and it was
with sadness assumed that they had
been altogether destroyed in the ter
riblc fire. A few days ago. however,
the Rev. 2. T. Keith, the pastor of
the church, received letter from the
Hon. Alex. Wakefield Bradford, in
which it wns stated that the writer
had seen in pawn-broker's shop, in
New York, n silver chalice, which, by
the inscription, belonged to st. Mi
chael's Church, Charleston. This
letter was properly acknowledged,
and on yesterday Mr.. Keith received
the chalice by the Southern Express
Company.
The chalice, which has now been
returned to its ecclesiastical home,
was presented to the church in 17G2,
by Gov. Boone, who in that year
succeeded Gov. Bull. It bears in
front the royal arms of England and
an inscription reciting the manner OF
it's presentation, and, with the ex-
ceptlon of some slight dints, is in no
way injured.

The Boston Transcript has called
upon its readers tocontribute to the
needs of our brethren In the South.
But in its issue of the 9Th, it poisons
the kindness by taunting the South
with its Humiliation in having to
stfbe fed from the hands Of those
whose children she starved in her
prisons" 7
Surely Massachusetts, forgets what
she owes to the South. We speak
not now, of course, of what she has
made off the South in trade. We re-
fer only to the generous aid the
South gave her when British tyran-
ny was prosecuting the province of
Massachusetts as the State of Massa
chusetts is now prosecuting the peo-
pie who helped to achieve her inde-
pendence.
A letter from Alexandria, Va, of
July 6, 1774, said: "All Virginia
and Maryland are contributing for
the relief of Boston-of those who,
by the late cruel act of Parliament,
are deprived of their daily labor and
bread"
The Boston Gazette, which publish
cd the letter, adds: "Every part Of
this extensive continent, so far as we
have yet heard, appears to be deeply
interested in the fate of this unhappy
town. Many and great are the dona-
tions already received, and many
more we have good reason to ex-
pect."
The same paper contains "resolu-
tions unanimously entered into by
the inhabitants of South Carolina, at
general meeting held at Charleston,
in July, 1774, which declare that the
dictates of humanity made it necessa-
ry to assist and support the people of
Boston. The South not only help
ed all New England with supplies of
provisions at the period referred to,
but the blood of her own sons was
freely shed in her defence against
British oppression.
Bancroft, referring to the year 1775,
says: "The heroic courage of the
Carolinians, who, from a generous
sympathy with Massachusetts,, went
forward to meet greater danger than
any other province, was scoffed at by
the king as an infatuation. And
what return does the world now be-
hold New England making? She
filings bread to starving Southern wo-
men and children, buttered with
vulgar Yankee abuse, and elects dele
gates to Congress instructed to take
every particle of liberty from people
whose gallantry in the war of the Re-
volution helped to win civil freedom
and nationality for all America.

PRICE OF New AT.-The Rome,
(Ga.) Courier speaks of the prospect
for heavy wheat crop in that sec
tion rs most fattering, and says:
Although the present price of wheat
is from 1925 to $500, yet the i'm
preston prevails that the new crop
will open at only about $500
We understand that ample arrange
ments are being made for money to
purchase all that may be brought to

Truth OF HIsToRY.-A Northern
historian has written book giving a
full account of q speech made by
Jefferson Davis at the Nashville Dis
union Convention, how it was re-
ceived, etc. It is fact that Mr..
Davis was not member of that Con-
vention, and during its session was
quietly attending to his official duties
Mt Washington. Is there any limit
to radical meanness and mendacity?
The English authorities have re-
ports from the South of Ireland going

mischief from going forward upper

The New York Independent thinks
that previous to the rebellion" the
students at West Point "were edu-
Gated to hate the flag" AS the New
York Tribune was largely patronized
by the professors, the Independent
must allude to Greeleys poem, "Tear
Down the Flaunting Lie" etc.
A New York company has entered
upon the manufacture of what is
called "peat coal" from the peat of
the Dismal Swamp. The manufac-
turers say that this fuel is about as
cheap us anthracite coal, and that it
burns very beautifully, and produces
the smallest amount of ashes.

How IT Works IN TENNESSEE. The
Memphis AralancAe, of last Friday,
contains some startling developments.
1t says:
Several colored men, whose vera
city will not be questioned by any
Brownlowite in Memphis, have di-
rected our attention to q secret or
ganization that has been stacied by
white Brownlowites among the colored
people of this city.
The organization is ostensibly for
benevolent purposes; but, in one of
its degrees, it requires the initiated
colored man to take fearful oath to
murder those who abandon its ranks
and oppose Brownlowism. Perhaps
the scoundrels who require colored
men to utter such bloody impreca-
tions do not really intend to have
negroes murder those other blacks,
who, having been drawn into such
secret councils, are shocked, and
abandon them; but the oaths are to
inspire terror, and may culminate in
the dupes of such Vaccinations inn
bruing their hands in the blood Of
their fellows. If it does so, the most
guilty murderers will be the white
men who inspire the atrocious oaths.

If there is any city in the United
States in which the negroes and the
radicals ought to be allowed full
sway, Washington is the one. Con-
gress is directly responsible for the
proper government of that place,
and the laws which have made ne
groes equal, in respect of political
rights, with white men, ought to
have q fair trial where Congress can
witness their operation. Hence, we
do not chronicle the radical and
negro success in that city on Monday
with any feeling of modification.

The Montgomery Mail, in alluding
to a proposition to send Dick Busteed
to the United States Senate, says:
GAS for toadying such man be-
cause he occupies Il seat upon the
bench, or because he may possibly
prove recreant to the party which
placed him in office, such thing is
unbecoming the dignity of Southern
people. The man who would betray
one party would betray another.
eff we cannot find good, consist
ent, honorable Southern men who
can take the test oath in tho United
States Congress, let us elect to the
Senate such men MS Millard Fillmore,
Franklin Pierce, Robert G. Win
throp, Erastus Brooks, John p.
Stockton, Daniel w. Voorhees, or S.
S. Cox. 1t is not necessary that the
Representatives elected by Alabama to
tho United States Congress should
be citizens of Alabama. The Consti-
tuition of the United States merely
requires that they should be citizens
of the United States. Rather than
elect such men as Swayne and Bus
teed, (Gen. Swayne will please pardon
the connection who are merely do
miciled here, and are not of us, let
us elect straight-out Constitutional
Union men, wherever they may be
found. The MAJ nominates Millard
Fillmore and franklin Pierce as can
didates for the United States Senate
from Alabama, in the event of 're-
construction.

The Evansville Indiana) Daily
Sentinel, one of whose editors was an
officer in the Federal army during the
war, writes double-leaded leader in
favor of Gen. Robert e. Lee for the
Presidency. AS o remarkable tribute
to the worth oe sle leader of the
armies of the late Confederacy, we
copy it:
eve to-day nominate Gen. Robert
E. Lee, of Virginia, as our favorite
for President in 1868.
Gen. Lee stands before the world
an American nobleman; Christian
without ostentation, and soldier
without peer, living or dead.
eve ask not whether this purest
and noblest of living Americans led
forth the legions Of Virginia in de-
fence of his native State in on aggres-
sive war upon its sovereignty by the
F'ederalists of the North; or whether
partisan legislation has stricken down
his rights as citizen in the Federal
istic system of concentralization. We
see only the man, with his spotless
purity of character, nobility of per-
son, true Christian greatness and
peerless honor.
Acknowledged at home and abroad
as the greatest and purest amongst
us, we deem him most amply quail
fed to administer with dignity and
truth the principles for which his
illustrious kinsman, George Washing
ton, fought, and which the bitter
passions of degenerate sons have SO
long imperiled.
"Gen. Robert E. Lee is the first
choice of grand army of Democrats
in the North, who are not afraid to
urge his claim before the country for
that position for which God especially
endowed him. The timid men of the
party may tremble when his name is
spoken, but the brave applaud.
eve believe that Gen. Lees nomi-
nation by the Democrats of the North
would be hailed with delight by every
lover of true manhood and nobility
of character throughout the world"

AID FOR THE SOUTH. is stated
that the subscribers to the English
cotton famine fund desire to appro-
pirate their surplus funds, amounting
to the large sum of 5000, 900, in gold,
to the relief Of the Southern States
of the American Union. 1t is known
but n small portion of the funds
would ever be claimed by the sub
scribers under any circumstances,
and, therefore, it is not likely that
there will be any difficulty in the way
of its suggested application. 1t would
be magnificent donation. The Ii
verpool american says:
"There may be some legal obsta-
cles to its immediate use for this pur-
pose; but, as the character of the
suffering will admit of no delay, it
has been proposed to send forward a
portion now, and retain O part until
such time rs might be fixed for its
withdrawal.
cat present, no demand is more
urgent, no people more necessitous
than the sufferers from old wrongs,
civil war and recent fire and flood, in
the Southern States of America.

WEST PoINT-SoUTHERN BoYs
AHEAD.-We learn remarkable fact
from the New York Times, of the 5th

just graduating at West Point, every
one of the first six scholars is from
the South. Ruffner, of Virginia,
leads, and Sears, of Virginia, is third;
then, there are Mallory, of Alabama,
Rogers and Haupt, Of Georgia, and
Griffith, of North Carolina. In the
next six, there are three Tennessee

while Turtle, of Massachusetts,, Greer,
of Pennsylvania, and Heintzelman, at
large, occupy the other three places.
Thus all of the first six and nine of
the first twelve places on the scale of
general merit, are taken this year by
men appointed from the South. This

CRIMINAL EXEcUTIoN.-The unfor-
tunate man, S. d. Hodge, was exc
cuted yesterday, between the hours
of II and o'clock. He was escorted
from the prison by the sheriff anu
his deputies, with detachment OF
the United States troops now on gar
rison duty in this city. The bearing
of the prisoner was that of one who
did not dread the extreme penalty OF
the law that was about to be inflicted
upon him.
On arriving at the place of execu-
ton, he was conducted to the scat
fold by the sheriff on one side, and
Rev. W. z. Boggs on the other. He
made no confession, but persisted
in his innocence; and when the cap
and rope were adjusted, he said, il
substances: "A1y friends and gentle
men: I bid you all farewell. I hope
to meet you in better place. False
hood brought me to where am"
He made no further confession.
Sheriff Dent then proceeded 10 exc
cute his duty, the prisoner having
bade him and the minister (AIr
Boggs) farewell, and, in few mi
nutes, he was launched into eternity.
After hanging some time, DR.. Coues,
the United States Surgeon at this
post, and DIR. A. W. Kennedy, exa-
mined the body and pronounced life
extinct. The remains were then taken
charge of by Sheriff Dent, placed i'll
neat coffin, and buried in the vici-
nifty of the place of execution. There
was large concourse of spectators
present, but the arrangements made
by the sheriff were carried out il
good order; and thus has passed AL
other human being to his last dread
account.

SAN FRANCISCO, July ISL ?. y.

SUFFRAGE for all of. every race ana
color is proposed to be engrafted upon
the Constitution by the aid of those ne
gro States, or enforced by Act Of Con-
gress as Mr. Sumner proposes. Man
hood suffrage" is insisted upon by the
republican leaders in Congress, as a
doctrine upon which they mean to stand
or fall. This is the u n expression, to
indicate that all men shall vote, Ash
atics, Africans aud Indians. We be-
lieve that this doctrine if carried into
effect would be our destruction. There
are 40, 900 or $4,000 Chinese in this
State it is supposed, nearly all of whom
are males over twenty. one years of age.
The number Of Indians not having tribal
relations with the Government is also
large. The Chinese can all be natural
lied upon this theory and then can all
vote. About twenty-five cents q head,
| say, twelve thousand Eve hundred dol
lars, would throw the Chinese vote one
way or the other, and the price would
rise according to competition. The
| Central Pacific Railroad with ten thou
sand Chinese lahorers, could out vote
the entire voting population of the min.
ing counties, through which the road
passes. Gangs of Chinese would be i'm
ported for their voting rs well as work
ing qualities.-R. Haight's recent speech.

THE diplomatic correspondence on the
Luxembourg question has been published
in England, and shows that war was
fully as imminent between France and
Prussia as reported at the time. 10
fact all the nations believed that peace
was hopeless, and it was only BY the
persistent efforts Of England, through
Lord Stanley, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, that the conference assembled
and peace was finally assured. Some
Of the English papers assert that Lord
Stanley brought peace BY guaranteeing
the neutrality Of Luxembourg, or in Other
words obligating England to take par
in a war between France and Prussia il
one should arise hereafter.
