A DIFFICULTY HAPPILY OBvIATED.
Heretofore q great deal Of trouble and
annoyance nave been experienced at the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, on the
arrival and departure OF trains, caused
by the hacks and omuibuses not having
a regular place 20 occupy. This gave the
railroad officials and passengers much
Inconvenience. Col. Beaumont has set
tied this by turning the matter over to
the metropolitan superintendent.
They will hereafter designate the proper
place for backs, omnibuses and baggage
wagons, and thus removs all cause Of
complaint.

NOT QUITE SMART ENOUGH.-A man
by the name Of Thunderberg has been
passing forged checks in a small way
upon some of our merchants. Lately
complaint was made to the police, but
they could not lay hands on the man
but Mr.. Joe Tag, one Of the victims,
saw him passing up Main street yester-
day and gave chase. ThUnderberg run,
taking the middle Of the street, no doubt
thinking that his pursuer would scarcely
risk his limbs through the mud. Not 50
with Mr.. Tag he gained on biln stead
lily for over two blocks, when the forger
Numbered in the mud, and of course the
game was up then. Mr.. Tag took him
10 the police headquarters, mud and ali.
On his person was found two checks not
yet used. He was locked 81.

THE GAYOsO HOP.-The hop at the
Gayoso last night was largely attendNE
by the " elite" Of u city. The music
was sufficient to tempt an achovite into
enjoying the mazes of the dance, and
deaf must be the ear, or paralyzed the
foot, who could resist the soft seductive
strains. Fair women and brave men
we're there in gala costume. "Soft love
looked love to eyes which spake again. -
&" and all went merry as marriage bell"
Under the direction of "mine host, ."
Cockrell, all was pleasant as a May
morning, while his able corps of assist
ants made everybody feel at home. OF
the supper, we may say it was all the
market afforded, gotten up in the Gayoso
style. The proprietor not only knows
how to keep a hotel, but does it up hand
somely. We look forward with delight
to many a pleasant reunion of a like
character.

THE COLD CHARITIES OFIHE WORLD.
At a late hour night before last, we saw q
sight calculated to stir the better feelings
Of mans nature, and led us to exclaim
Involuntary, May God, in His infinite
mercy, protect the poor" As we were
passing down Main street, the most fash
ionable and popular street of the city, the
wind blowing q perfect hurricane and all
the elements at war with the homeless,
we beheld a poor, tender little girl,
scarcely eight years of age, whose golden,
heecy hair, mild, sad eye, guileless face
and innocent department bespoke her
former and happier days, tearfully plead
ing for a place to protect her from the
raging storm without. One after another
passed her without giving her the aid
her destitute condition so richly merited,
and as each refusal fell on the ear of the
poor pleader, large tears welled up from
her heart, and her despsiring look should
have chilled the heart of the most self
ish. Our fingers touched every corner
Of our lean pockets, but alas, nothing was
therein to be found and with a longing
wish that we had money with which to
succo the worthy INDECENT of our city,
and elewhere, W e passed on, unable to
aid the poor little girl, and wondering
why the city authorities do not properly
attend TO the wants Of the destitute of
the city.

an interview with the judge of the Grim

Adjournment of the Senate-COngresS
and the President Agreeing.


WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Senate has
dwindled down to less than quorum, and
adjourned sine die, without filling all the
vacancies, which, with two exceptions, are
in the West, thus leaving nine postofices
without postmasters in Illinois, and one in
Pennsylyania-the latter believed to be
Milton; and four or five vacancies in Of
fees of internal revenue in Indiana, Hi
nois and Wisconsin. No Consul at Ha-
yana was confirmed. Under the tenue of
the office act vacancies cannot be filled, as
they could be previous to the passage of
that law, by the President during the re-
cess of Congress. 1t is said that Charles s.
Abel was confirmed as Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue for the First District of Penn
sylvania after having once been rejected for
the same Office; and Gov Cummings
having been confirmed IA Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the Fourth District of
that State, leaves the Governorship of
Colorado vacant

udyJ - PIeCloely tHe same dS tue OH6 SUD
mitted in Executive session on the 10th,
and which had been confdentially printed.
The Chronicle to-day says when the Sen
ate adjourned last night, the impression
seemed to be almost universal that there
would be no quorum in either House on
the Sd of July next, as the feeling between
the Senators and Executive was so COM
comparatively cordial. and the intelligence
from the South promising submission to the
terms of reconstruction were so suspicious,
that very few doubted that the great meas
ures had anticipated and foreclosed all
chance of difficulty and dissension.

Senator Wilson's Speech at Orange
COurfhOuse-COnIisc May Fol-
low a Refusal 20 Reconstruct.
RICHMOND, April 2l.- Senator Wilson
spoke at Orange Courthouse yesterday.
He recounted the events which led to war,
and said that after its close the North had
no i'll feeling for the South. The South
was not submissive, and had the measures
now pending been adopted directly at the
end of the conflict the South wonld have
acknowledged that the government was
just ard liberal but when Mr.. johnson
assumed power he adopted different poll
cy, which had brought on all this dissatis-
faction.
President Lincoln had prepared eight
conditions for the pardon Of Rebels, all OF
which met Mr. Wilson's approval. Mr..
johnson prepared fourteen, which were six
too many. He (Wilson) had never favored
the $4,000 clause, for he wanted the South,
except few prominent Rebels, to be at
liberty to go to work. The South had
complained of Congress violating the con-
stitution, and yet upheld Mr.. johnson in
his violations of the constitution in restor-
ing States.
The speaker was opposed to black mans
party, or a white mans party. Let all
who favor human bondage go together, and
all who favor freedom and progress go to-
gether. If any Rebels had cast aside the
decisions, let them come up and join the
Republican party.
Major J. II. Lee, State Senator from
Orange, replied to Mr.. Wilson. He charged
the introduction of slavery upon the North,
and said Mr.. Lincoln did not at first intend
to liberate the slaves, and that the South
ern people were the blacks best friends.
Mr.. Wilson replied that in year the
North would give negroes suffrage. He
said confscation might follow if the recon-
struction bill was not accepted.

The German Opposition TFiumphs
over Bismark-France and Russia
Act In Concert, etc, etc.
New YORK, April 22.-The Herald's
correspondence says the members Of the
German opposition party are in legislative
triumph over Count Bismark, by the vote
rendering the government amenable to the
representative body on all matters relative
to federal taxation. The vote was yery
close, the Liberals carrying their amend
ment to the tax duty clause, in draft of the
constitution, by a majority of three only,
but the result argued badly for the fate OF
the new normal military budget of Prussia
South. Germans naturalized as citizens Of
the United States, are in danger of being
held TO military service on revisiting the
States which have entered into the now fa~
nous secret treaties with Prussia, Bavaria,
Wertemburg and Baden.
The Herald Constantinopie correspon-
dence says that France and Russia have
made joint movement to recommend the
Porte government 10 cede Gambia to
Greece, and that the approach towards a
unity of action in such direction was re-
garlled as demonstrating that England is
likely TO be left out of the consultation for
the arrangement of the affairs Of the sick
man.
The Herald's Mulinger, Ireland cores
pondence reiterates the assurance of the APP
proach of another Fenian rise far more ex-
tensive than that of the 9Th of March, for
the execution OF which, he says compre-
hensive plan is being arranged in London,
Paris and Dublin.

THE FEELING OF SOUTHERN MEN
TOWARDS THE NEGRO.

From the Mobile Advertiser and Register.
"The Southern people desire to see a
fair trial of the negro'5 capacity for self
government, and, most assuredly, every in
terest of the South urges her to desire also
a successful issue of the experiment. 1t is
difficult to overestimate the value of the
addition of four millions of industrious, in
telligent and upright citizens to the popu-
lation of any country. If the freedmen
prove to deserve this praise, they will con-
quer, eventually, ever prejudice against
them that is not founded upon a law of
God They will elevate themselves, and
contribute their full share to the general
prosperity, and they will settle a question
which has puzzled the world for forty cen
turtles.
"Let us help them in this work, as far as
we fairly can, safely can"
The above remarks of the Richmond Err
amiaer express the sentiment of true South
ern men with regard to the negro. 1t is a
sentiment which Radical cannot compre-
bend if he would, and which some of them
would not comprehend if they could.

aIusiny Among NEGRO TrOOps-SeVe-
raj Killed = An Exciting Day I'm

=
raj Killed : An Exciting Day i'm
Camps
From the San Antonio Herald. 10th.
About noon Yesterday our city vas thrown
into great excitement by the rumor that
the United States colored troops stationed
at San Pedro Springs had mutinied and
killed several of their officers, and also that
the war having been carried into Africa,
many of the negroes were killed. There
had been hurrying to and fro among the
military stationed in the city, and they
were soon off at a double-quick. The ru-
mors continued growing in number and
varying in details, until there was no way
Of getting at the truth without going to the
seat of war, and we went. We found one
officer-Lieut. Griffin, we understood the
name to be-lying MORALLY wounded, his
head split open with a sabre; another
wounded in the hand while the negro SER
geant who had struck the blow with the
sabre was lying dead on the spot where he
fell. From citizens living in the vicinity,
we learned that this sergeant had protested
before the officer of the day, Lieut.. Griffin,
against the tying up by the thumbs ofsome
Of his company, and that the officer had or
dered him to his quarters, which order he
refused to obey, threatening TO report to
Gen. Merritt Whether the officer then
attempted to shoot or not, we could not
learn, but Immediately the sergeant drew
his sabre and cnt. Another officer then
shot the sergeant through the head, while
the latter officer was wounded in the hand
by still another soldier; in the meantime,
the whole camp was alive, and numbers of
bullets went whistling through the air.
The dash and holiness of the senior officer
present is said and believed to have done
much toward quieting down the mutiny,
which at one time indicated an indiscrim-
mate massacre of the officers in camp.
Gen. Merritt was very energetic in exam
lining into the causes and ascertaining who
were the instigators.

Loan TO the City of st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, April 22.-The Mayor and
City Comptroller have arranged with the
national banks of the State of Missouri
for temporary loan of six hundred thou-
sand dollars, which will enable the city to
pay the interest on her bonds due in June,
July and August, and also meet all other
obligations. This loan was rendered neces-
sary by the change in the assessment law,
under which the city receives taxes in No
vember instead of June, as heretofore.
The State banks have all been made agents
of the city for the sale OF bonds.
The Fenians serenaded General Pile
Saturday night, in complement of his ad-
vocacy of tho resolutions OF sympathy for
the struggling Irish, past at the late session
of Congress. The General responded in
an eloquent speech in favor Of universal
freedom.
