Arrival and Departure of Trains
aNo Negroes Need Apply"

The telegraph a few days since brought
rs the startling news that in accordance
with orders issued through the boards
of registry of the State of Georgia, no
negroes will be allowed to occupy seats
. in the approaching convention of that
Commonwealth, and though the state
ment seems improbable, being entirely In
opposition to the principles enunciated
In the former orders OF the military COM
mander of that State, Gen. Pope, and
through no other source the order could
have emanated, it is possible that that
chieftain has been tempered with by
superiors at Washington, and hence the
OF omulgation of the order.
II this policy has been adopted under
exec utive instructions or otherwise, 1t Is
nothing short of palpable violation Of
the reconstruction laws of Congress, and
the acts of convention held in pursu-
ance of such orders must be invalid and
unlawful. The freedmen, by virtue OF
the emancipation proclamation and civil
rights law, can be regarded in no other
light than as full American citizens, and
rs such they stand upon an equal foot
ing with the whites in every State, and
are to be treated similarly in every par
ticular. The same acts which qualify
them to vote give them the right to hold
office, even to the highest one in the gift
of the people, and if Fred. Douglass OF
any other negro though his skin be as
black as ebony, should receive major
ity of votes in the electoral college Tor
that office, there is no law which could
prevent his occupying the chair once
graced by Washington, Jefferson and
Jackson, and more recently disgraced
bya Pierce, q Buchanan, and an Andrew
johnson.
If they can secure nominations as
delegates to the Georgia State Conven
ton, and receive majority of the votes
legally cast under the registration, they
will be entitled to seats therein, and nc
order or "bull can exclude them from
Its councils, without depriving o
vitality and effect the deliberations o
that body.
1t may not be pleasant for the white
of Georgia to contemplate such an asso
citation, but we do not see how they Cal
help themselves, as by their own treason
able acts they raised their slaves to thei
equals before the law, hence the incon
veniences which they suffer are merel
the results of their own folly and blind
ness,
So far as the loyal majority OF tn
country is concerned, it does not ADM
any special obligation to consult tn
preiudices of rebels, in reconstructin
the civil fabrics which traitors reduce
TO anarchy, and we have much MOI
confidence in the patriotic Ignorance
the blacks, who have ever manifesto
loyal sentiments, and at the risk of the
own lives, aided starving Union soldier
to escape from rebel prison pens, tina
we have in the learning and cast
which has been educated for treason an
perverted by rebellion.

NATIONAL BANK FAILURES. - Several
recent failures of National banks have
caused an immense amount of bowling
about the corruptness Of the National
system. The last case especially, that
Of the Brooklyn bank, caused great
deal of excitement among the working
classes of that city, as they were the
principal losers. We notice that several
prominent papers, too, have Joined in
the clamor for some sort OF reform, in
what particular, however, they fail to
state. The opportunity to throw dirt
at the Washington financial officials is
thoroughly improved. While We cannot,
nor do we wish to deny that there are a
large number Of corrupt banking in
stitutions doing business under the Ma
tional system, we believe that the num-
Der is less than under the old systems Of
many of the States. Before condemnlng
the National system it would be well to
look at some of its advantages, and the
one that most prominently presents it.
self is the vast superiority of our pre-
sent currency over that which flooded
the country few years ago. If We
carefully study the merits and dement's
of the case, we will discover greater
reason to rejoice over the good to which
we have attained than to grieve over 9
few imperfections, from which no bust
ness system can be free.

MURDERoUs AssAULT.-A murderous
assault was committed on c. W, Shedd,
on the road leading from Mount Holly
to Ludlow on Monday evening about s
o'clock. MIR. Shedd who is foreman in
Tarbell & Co.'S rake shop in Mechanics
vile, had been to Reading, on business
for his employers, and had a consider
able sum Of money on his person. He
was attacked while going through a
piece Of woods, skirting the road, by two
men, one Of whom seized his horse by
the head, and the other threw himself
upon his intended victim, striking at
him with sharp pointed weapon, which
was only prevented from doing serious
if not fatal injury by the fact that it
struck Mr.. SIS watch, which was in his
left pocket. Mr.. S. by q powerful exer,
ton succeeded in freeing himself from
his antagonist and, whipping up his
horse, soon was out Of harms way. On
his arrival at Healdville it was dis
covered that the weapon had penetrated
the outer case Of his watch, while his
carriage was somewhat broken and in
jured by q volley of stones thrown at the
vehicle while he was escaping from his
would-be assassins. A party started in
pursuit Of the criminals, but with what
success we have not yet learned,

FIRST DAY OF THE FAIR-UNFAyORABLR
WEATHER.

FIRST DAY OF THE FAIR-UNPAyoRABLR
WEATHER.
The Vermont State Fair opened this
morning at this place under very IA
vorsble auspices, except the weather,
which was very unpropitious, the clouds
being lowering and threatening, which
undoubtedly retarded people from Wis
iting the exhibition, or making entries.
At II o'clock it commenced to rain.
which of course spoiled the exhibition
for the day. The entries are large in the
several departments, especially of cattle
and horses aud in Floral Hall. The ex.
hibition of horses and trials o. speed
commence on Wednesday. A special
premium has been offered in addition to
the regular lists, for the fastest and best
walking horses. Trials of speed will
take place at o'clock on Thursday after
the delivery Of the address by President
Angel. The grand race will take place
at o'clock on Friday.
The number OF entries at this writing
is nearly seven hundred. The entries in
the miscellaneous department include
trunks, harnesses, roofing slate, organs
and variety of other musical instru-
ments, knitting machines, water wheels,
vegetable cutters, washing machines,
faging stone, oriental chairs, buggy
wagons, mop wringers, samples of linen,
oil paintings, Chinese table, moss work,
breakfast shawls, moving machines, re.
versatile ploughs, patent dumping
wagon, rubber horse, mowers, hay
tedders. patent wheel hubs, &C., &C.
The entries Of short-horn, Ayrshire
and grade cattle are large and indicates
that the farmers Of Vermont are giving
much attention to the improvement of
these choice breeds.
On Thursday there will be q trotting
race for horses which have never beaten
$50 in public, for which premiums of
$50 to the first, $50 to the second, and
$40 to the third best horses are offered.
Mile heats, best two in three, to harness
or wagon.
On Friday, the last day, at p. m, the
great races of the exhibition will take
place embracing contest, mile heats,
best in 5, for purses of 500, $50 and
$40, open to all horses, and race to be
sandwiched in between the heats of the
foregoing, for premiums Of $50, $50 and
| 800, the terms Of the latter race being
mile heats, best in 8. This featur of
the exhibition will attract large crow DIS
from Boston, Fitchburgh, Springfield,
and the north. Extra trains are to run
from Boston, Fitchburgh and Spring
field. The rain has prevented the regu-
lar order of the exhibition, therefore
there is but little to report at present
wiring, and it is impossible on account
of the storm to examine the articles or
animals in any department. The fol-
lowing is the programme for tomorrow,
the second day:
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IL.
10 q. m.-The Judges will meet at the
secretary's Office, when they will be pre-
sented with their respective catalogues
of entries, and proceed 10 the discharge
J o. the duties assigned them.

THK CRETAN STRvGGLB.-The latest in
telligence from Crete, received at the
Greek Legation, charges Omar Pasha
with practicng deceit in order to palliate
his conduct, and states that he obtained
certificates from some of his fellow SOL
diers denying the reports Of the cruelties,
with q view Of influencing public
opinion by the interested statements Of
those in pay Of Turkey. The Cretans
say the facts can be proven by eye-wit-
nesses that Omar Pasha, on retiring
from Sphakia, burnt all the villages in
his rear in the Province Of st. Basile, the
most notable Of them being Myrtos
Lencogia, and the Monastery of Preveli.
At Mesogia, in the Province Of Kissa-
mos, he seized Mr.. KOstando, an elderly
gentleman, forced him to apply fire to
his own hut, and then burned him to-
gether with the straw. At Patolari he
mutiliated gentleman ia a nameless
manner, plucked ont his eyes and then
murdered him. At Cornitader he slew
three nuns, besides committing similar
cruelties at other places named in the
dispatches. The Turkish troops de.
feated by Gen Coroneos burned several
villages on their retreat toward HeraC'
leon. At Melompanulla they massacred
an old blind man and another citizen
and an insane girl. They slew the monk
Gideon Momolake, planting his head on
the cross which surmounts the cupols
of the church. The accounts further
say that the Cretans, having fought for
a year against terrible odds, will never
return to the Turkish yoke. Upward Of
twenty thousand Cretan families, mostly
women and children and old men, have
been sent to Greece. Athens, Syria anC
all other Grecian cities have become sc
many huge relief committees. The
Grecian ladies, particularly, are indefati
gable in charitable zeal, but cannot af
ford all the relief needed without the as
sistance of Christian nations.

Senator Cameron has written let
ter to deny that he thinks Of resigning
his senatorship in favor of Secretary
Stanton, as the first step in the inge-
nicus scheme to make Stanton President.
1t ia jolly green in so sharp an old
schemer as Cameron not to see that the
story ia a joke, and still more so to sup.

capable of such an act Of self.sacriace
for any object,
1T is officially ascertsined that since
April 10Th, 1866, eight thousand par
dons have been granted by the President.
During the past two years there have
been on file in the Attorney Generals
obi ce about four hundred applications
for pardon of persons excepted in the
amnesty proclamation of May 20, 1865,
which have not yet been granted. About
one hundred OF these are pardoned by
the proclamation Of Saturday, and the
other three hundred come within the
exceptions of that document.
The Secretary of the Treasury has to
this date removed the injunction or CO.
vest from l84 of the Missouri State
bonds and two Of the Tennessee bonds
which were some years ago distracted
from the Department of the interior
while held in trust for certain Indian
tribes, the amount stolen being $3.50, 900
Holders OF bonds thus relieved from ca
veat having presented required proofs
that they procured these in good faitt

Charlotte Hall School,

The Summer session Of Charlotte Hall
School closed on Friday last, August 9th.
The final bicnuial examination commenced
on the preceding Tuesday and ended lhurs-
day evening, August the Sth. The exam-
animation was followed by the usual Com
mencemcnt exercises on Friday morning,
after which tie whole was concluded by a
grand ball, given by the students on the
evening of the same day.
The school when dismissed numbered
sixty odd pupils and is in prosperous con
dit;on. The examination is said to have
been honorable to pupils and professors
alike, evircing, in the one, good scholar
ship, and in the other, a careful attention
70 all the essentials of useful and classl-
cal education, both eliciting the applause
and commcndation of Examiners and Irus-
tees. The oratorical and dramatic cxercl-
ses Of tho Commencement were edifylng
and entertaining and would have been
creditable to Older years and longer eNpe-
rience. The students were addressed on
the part of the Trustees by Col. c. Bill
Kingsley, nd also. on invitation OF the
Trustees, BY Rev. c. X. Nelson, of St.
Johns College, Annapolis, in speeches ap-
propriatc to the subject and occasion, and
which though delivered exclusively to the
students, were no less interesting to the
large audience in attendance.
The Ball, the grand finale, was decl-
ded success. With well-appointcd arrange
ments, fine music and brilliant company
"all went merry as a marriage bell.

SrrRArr TR1AL.-This trial has been
brought TO close for the present, the jury
failing to agree in verdict. They were
out some seventy hours and upwards and
are represented to have stood eight for ac-
ouittal and four for conviction. At the
close of the trial, Judge Fisher dismissed
Mr.. Bradley, the senior counsel f or Sur
ratt. from the bar for alledgcd disrespcct
to the Court. The dismissal, under the
circumstances, is said to have been without
authority of law, and we notice the mem
bers of the bar have held a preliminary
l.eeting in regard to it. The course of the
Judge during the trial was partial, partlzan
and disreputable aud, in the opinion of the
profession, his conduct towards Bradley was
both tyrannical and lawless In the rapid
nrogress of events it is likely, when Surratt
is tried again, he will be tried by a negro
jury.
