DICK TAYLOR, WADE HAMPTON AND

DICK TAYLOR, WADE HAMPTON AND
THE MILITARY ACT General Dick
Taylor is on here as representative
of the Louisiana Legislature. He has
recommended to that body immediate
action in conformity with the mill
tary bill, and urged upon the mem
bers, three weeks ago, The necessity
of recognizing the actual condition
of things. General Wade Hampton
was in New Orleans at the time, and
the matter was very freely discussed
between them. Gen. Wade Hampton
went to South Carolina, and embraced
the first occasion publicly to express
his concurrence in the views Of the
predominant political sentiment OF
the country. General Taylor is of
the opinion that there will be q very
feeble opposition anywhere in the
South, unless it is in Texas, in rel;.-
tlon to which he is not posted. The
wisdom of an enabling Act is now
patent, though severely criticised
when demanded by Senator Wade
and Henry Winter Davis. The mis-
sion OF General Taylor is believed to
be from the Louisiana Legislature to
the President, and, after he has had
his audience, will leave immediately
for New York Washington Cores
Pon"ence Philadelphia P7'eSs.

Commerce that Senator Thomas, of
Maryland, withdrew from the bank
large amount of funds for the pur-
pose of discrediting Federal bonds,
was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee. A joint resolution devoting

torblddlng any increase of price, but

to voting, he says:
All who will be entitled to vote

chlsed should use their influence for
the accomplishment Of all possible
good. Let it not be supposed that
they can do nothing because they
are unable to vote The freedmen
are now to vote for the first time.
we should cherish against them no
Ill feeling The elective franchise
is conferred upon them; let them
exercise it freely and in their own
way. No effort should be made to
control their votes except such rs
may tend to enable them to vote
lntclllgcntly, and such as may be
necessary to protect them against
mlschievous influences to which.
from their want of intelligence, they
may possibly be subjected. Above
ali things, We should discourage
everything which may tend to gen
crate antagonism between white and
colored voters.

New York Ladies' Association.

The New York Herald, of Friday,
says:
No more glorious, philanthropic or
timely movement has been instituted
among the charitably disposed peo-
pie of this city for years past, than
the present enc under the auspices of
the Ladies Southern Relief Asso-
clation of this city This society
comprises among its membership
numerous representative of the lead
ing families of this city, and its
officers are Mrs. Judge J. J. Roose-
velt, Mrs. Arthur Leary, Mrs. S. l..
Nj. Barlow and Mrs Algcrnon S.
Sullivan. An appeal is now made for
money and grain to freight the United
States ship Dumbarton, now lying
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which
will be despatched at an early day
on this mission of mercy and charity.
The Dumbarton was ordered to be
made ready for conveying to the i'm
poverishcd South the contributions
of the prosperous and victorious
North; but that no time might be
lost IN saving those that were ready
to perish, another steamer, the Mem
phis, which, at the time of the APP
plication of this society, was under
sailing orders for the ports of Char
lesion and Savannah, was also offer
ed. The Memphis took out to the
ports of South Carolina and Georgia
13, 900 bushels of grain, contributed
through the Southern Relief Copmis-
sion. 1t is now desired that the
Dumbarton will carry with her an ad-
ditional expression of feeling and
sympathy from the people Of the
North, and especially of themetropo-
lis, to thousands of our fellow-coun-
trymen now threatened with the
most awful of calamities-starva
The present appeal should be re-
Ponded to promptly. Every day
through which the Dumbarton lies
unfreighted at her dock will be the
death warrant of helpless men, wo-
men and children The ladies OF the
Southern Relief Association desire
to make it known that they distribute
their charity only through the bishops
and clergy of every denomination
