South has accounts to settle with that

The Memphis appeal, in speaking
of certain Northern democratic news
papers, orators and Congressman, says:
1--WE have grown tired of this twaddle;
these men are very profuse in their
promises of what they will do, but when
the test comes they will do nothing,
and they never have done anything"
The Confederate bondholders in
England are not easily discouraged,
certainly. They continue to hold meet
ings to devise ways and means of get
ting their bonds recognized and paid.
They seem hopeful, and are quite as
cheerful as could possibly be expected
under the circumstances. But to I'M
sophisticated observers here they seem,
in spite of their big wigs and big words,
very great fools.
The records of the Bureau Agents
show that assistance is largely given to
young men at the South, white as well
as black. Why is it necessary Are
they too proud or too lazy to work.
Charity is a divine attribute, and the
best of them, but indiscreet charity be-
ing, and that species of it which sup
ports stalwart, healthy youths in idle
ness and laZiness is the worst of null
sances.
IF Mr.. Seward thinks that because
the people of this country are gratified
with the Recommendations OF our Gov
willing to buy all the icebergs which
Russia is willing to sell, he hes only
added to the list of his mistakes, long
enough already. If Russia is indeed
our friend and ally, let her keep her
useless land.
in Great Britain the Reform
Leagues are mastering their strength
Quietly, but with great efficiency, for
a grand contest with the aristocracy at
the polls during general election. A
cable telegram recently Informed us
that the Parliamentary liberals and
radicals, under the lead of Mr.. Glad
stone, have resolved to give the Derby
Reform bill, lately expounded by Mr..
Disraeli in the House of Commons, a
most determined opposition, and bring
the question to test vote division as
soon as possible. They are, it is said,
confidentof obtaining a majority adj
verse to the Cabinet, in which case
Earl Derby will tender his resignation
AS Premier to the Queen. This event
will most likely lead to n general cleo
ton, by dissolution of the Parliament,
all over the three Kingdoms, and gen.
sral election held just at the present
moment may induce political results of
u character most serious for England.
The general debate on the Reform bill
commences this day.
The differentiation of planters and
freedmen, begun Mt the Wade Hamp-
ton meeting in Columbia, s. c.. has ex-
tended to Florida. The Pensacola Oh
Se'Ver brings a report OF meeting of
white and colored citizens, at which the
speakers were Mr.. Mallory, a member
of JEFF. Davis Cabinet; white officer
| of a Union negro regiment, and HAYS
Satterwhite, an old colored man, the
counterpart, apparently, of Beverley
| Nash. Their speeches breathed the
spirit of the Columbia meeting. NAL
| lory counseled frank acceptance of
the situation, n ready compliance with
the law, and the cultivation of friendly
relations between whites and blacks.
He declared the negroes, being free, are
entitled to, and may be safely trusted
with the franchise, and he called upon
the whites to do all that is possible to
promote their improvment,i in order that
the friendly relations OF the two
| races may be assured. The colored
speakers, as well as the white speakers,
conference.-the separate organization of
the blacks as political party. The
meeting, 1t is said, is one OF several
OF the same character that haze been
held in Florida. s.-
Suffrage for women is making SUBJ
stantial progress in England. One of
Zee III
lament is John Stuart Mill, and we see
that a Committee for advancing the
cause has been formed, with no less a
dignitary than the Dean of Canterbury
at its head. This Committee propose to
limit the suffrage to unmarried women
and widows, who have the necessary
property qualifications. Another sig
nihcant symptom of the progress made
in this direction is found in the fact
that the London LdIU Times, the recog-
nized organ of the profession, declares
in favor of the proposition, saving that
"no, reason has yet been produced why
single women, who keep houses, pay
rates and taxes, and perform most of
ing OF parish offices, should not have
the same privilege as man in the like
situation. They have proper-
ty and rights which the laws affect, and
are entitled to a voice in the making of
those laws. Only prejudice stands ~ the
i'ay, out tbs pttq speedily yield to reG-
son" These are rather extraordinary
words to5be found in such a quarter. It
is. by no means impossible that Eng
land may take the lead, after all, in this
movement.
1t is very amusing to observe the
way in which the English journals
praise Count Bismarck at the expense
of Napoleon. Having truclxled so
many years to the Man of Mystery at
the Tulleries, they are delighted to find
that one European statesman has the
daring to snub him and to expose the
hollowness of his professions. They
nppear,to feel very much relieved at
having this disagreeable but necessary
work taken OFT their hands, and per-
formed in such cool and summary
vary digutfied. Having never had oc-
caslon TO be jealous of Prussian ag-
grandlsement, the English look upon
Count Bismarck's work as performed
in their interest as we'll as in thar of
Germany. The consolidation of aII.thn
German States outside of Austria irtS,
compact and powerful military
league, already threatens the supreme
cy Of France, and relieves England of
her most formidable rival in Europe.
