R S. B. Mallory, formerly U. S.
Senator, and afterwards Confederate
Secretary of the Navy, in late
speech at Pensacola, Florida, gave
utterance to the following worthy
sentiments:
SAT the South where negroes con-
stitute, and especially in Florida,
where they will fer yet long period
constitute nearly a majority of our
population, the ballot, qualified or
otherwise, was natural consequence
of their acknowledgements result
which would not follow their free
dom in the Northern States, where
in point of numbers they were unim-
portant. AS the negro was now en-
titled to vote, it was the interest of
the State that he should be educated
and enlightened.
Ne wise man will hesitate to do all
in his power to elevate and improve
the character and condition of the
colored race, between whom and the
Southern people an indestructable
bond of sympathy, based upon a
thousand happy memories, exist
Let US fully and frankly acknowledge
as well by deeds as by words, their
equality with US, before the law, and
regard it as no less just to ourselves
and them than to our State and her
best interests, 70 aid in their educa-
ton, elevation, and enjoyment of all
the rights which follow their new
condition. ....

H To day "wednesday is the
day fixed on for the adjournment of
the Ohio Legislature.


H On the first of January, 1861,
the public debt Of the United States
was $3.50, ,243,721. On the 31st of
August, 1865, it had reached the en-
ermeus sum of S2,757, ,689, ,571-the
increase being directly chargeable to
the Democratic party. That is the
amount that four years Democratic
war has entailed upon the tax payers
of this country. And still they want
the amount increased over one hun
dred millions more, to pay rebel
shareholders for the slaves which
their rebellienbliberated.

Will there be War In Europe
From the New York Post. !

l
The beauties of the famous Euro
pean system are fairly shown by the
fact that all commercial operations
are made uncertain, all the future of
a hundred and fifty millions of peo-
pie is overcloude'l; anxiety, suspense
and panic are felt from one end of
the European continent to the other,
merely because one man happens to
be suffering from dyspepsia, or
wounded ambition, or has taken per
sonal -ofense at another who lately
6utwitted him.
"The uncertainty in regard to the
future action of the Emperor Napo-
leon, and the fears that he will adopt
a warlike policy, create widespread
distrust among business men, and
great depression in consequence ex-
lists in commercial and financial
circles, both in this city and
in Paris" So says the Atlantic Ca
bic. There is no question OF what
the French people want-of their fu-
ture action; nobody stops to ask
their opinion, er breads their policy.
The peoples policy everywhere is
peace, it is only when one man seizes
the supreme power, makes himself
master of people, and is able to
make them do his will, that we hear
ef war panics, and of lasting suspi-
cIen and fear, prostrating commerce
and running industry.
Will Napoleon go to war? He is
now fifty-nine years of age; with a
constitution somewhat impaired !;
with several failures reckoned against
him by the French people; with a
"W orld's Fair" on his hands, the ex-
penses of which he has cunningly
and meanly settled upon the different
governments whose people take part
in it; with an heir to his throne,
growing up but not yet of age to
take part in affairs; with growing
suspicion among the French people
that their master is after all bit of
q blunderer; with a man before him,
Count Bismarck, of greater ideas,
more powerful will and real courage,
at the head of united and victori-
ons Germany.
This is Napeleon's s position in brief.
He has himself given some hostages
for peace-but aside from these, he
can scarcely afford to go to war in
Europe. Te make war on Prussia is
to venture on what, if he il defeated,
would ruin him; it wsuld be war
in which he must ruin his adversary
or be ruined himself We do not
think Napoleon s position yet SO des-
perate that he is likely to dare and
risk so much. 1t is true, his curses
are nowadays coming home to
roost; his plans, SO long maturing,
have one after another failed; he has
lost all the reputation he once had
for strength and successful cunning;
his temper is doubtless somewhat
affected by his failures. But ne is
vet firm on the throne he stole, and
unless he has become blind at last, it
is hardly probable that he would
venture on the great game of gen.
eral European war.

War in Europe.

There seems to be trouble brew
ing in Europe. Napoleon and Bis
mark can neither of them well indulge
the idea of superior, and the result
may De war between France and
Prussia. Napoleon some time since
commenced negotiations with the
King of Holland for the acquisition
Of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg
as necessary for the security of the
French frontier. Bismark protested,
and has thus far been successful in
defeating the acquisition. Both
countries are arming and the result
may be war.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette ]
WASHINGTON, April II.
THE INJUNCTION CASES.

THE INJUNCTION CASES.
About two hundred persons were
present In the Supreme Court to- day,
during the proceedings consequent
upon Judge Sharkey's motion for
leave to file his bill praying for an
injunction against the President and
General Ord. The attendance of at
torneys was unusually large, there
being considerable desire to hear the
argument on behalf of the Govern
ment. Attorney General Stanbery
appeared for the President, and
Robert j. Walker for the State Of
Mississippi. Each speaker occupied
rather more than an hour. The At
torney General took the broad ground
that neither the Supreme Court nor
any other court, can make the Presi-
dent party in any case, that he is
amenable to no tribunal but the Sen
ate, sitting as high court of i'm
peachment. Having laid down this
position and fortified it with refer
ences and authorities, he went on to
intimate that the President could
not obey the mandate of the court,
even If a subpoena were issued, and
in such case the court must direct his
arrest for contempt. This would
initiate quasi criminal proceedings.
If he refused to purge himself of con-
tempt, the court must send him to
jail, and ne should thus haye the
Executive branch of the Government
practically overthrow by the Judi
cial branch, and the gravest conse-
quences would fellow. The Attor-
ney General, in concluding, stated
that he was directed to say that the
Presidents opposition to the military
reconstruction bill ceased when he
had vetoed it. Now that it had be-
come law in constitutional man
ner, he regarded it his duty to see it
faithfully executed.
1t is stated on good authority that
when Mr. Stanbery receiyed notice
of the design to file this injunction
and bill, which was the evening be-
fore its presentation, he had two
hours interview with the President,
in which he told Mr.. johnson that
any further attempt to impede the
execution of the reconstruct ton bill
would only lead to useless trouble,
and possibly to renewed strife. At
first the President objected to the
position taken by Mr.. Slanbery, but
finally yielded. The Attorney Gen
erals argument to-day was very ear
nest and impressive.
Mr.. Walkers reply was adroit, and
he rather evaded the point made in
the Presidents behalf, and presented
arguments showing that the Court
has original Jurisdiction in a case
wherein state is party, and there
fere in this case.
1t is not known when the Court
will decide whether the bill can be
filed, but everybody expects the de-
cision early next week. Ne one ap-
pears to believe that leave will be
granted.

w The Luxemburg and Eastern
questions are not the only disturbing
influences in European politiaA-
There is trouble between England
and Spain. The British ship lorna
do was seized in Spanish port on
suspicion that she was a Chilian
privateer, and the officers and crew
were imprisoned. A demand for
their release was refused, but shortly
after the most of the prisoners were
set at liberty, as was alleged on
grounds wholly irrespective of the
demands OF their Government
Some of the officers were retained to
be used as witnesses in order to in
sure the condemnation of the vessel
as prize, and call for their re-
lease was refused.
The British have saved Spain from
destruction too many times to feel
much respect for her majesty, and
have consequently taken prompt
measures to bring about the liberia
ton OF the eaptives. A feet, has

re- The Conservative bid for the
negro vote at the South still contin-
ues. Now that the ''nigger" has
been transformed into a respectable
colored gentleman, and citizen of
the United States with voice at the
ballot box, our conservative friends
find no difficulty 10 associating with
him on a platform of equality. Cir
cumstances alter cases, and Demo
cracy is no stranger to their sudden
changes of base in the political field.
The ballot can't change the color of
the African gentleman's skin, but it
can conquer conservative prejuaices
against that celor So the Con-
servatives Of Chattanooga, a few
days since, held ''large and enthu-
siastic mixed" meeting, at which
they declared themselves strongly in
favor of the rights and education of
the black man, and at the same time
were very careful to impress upon
his mind that they, and not the
Northern Radicals, are his true
friends. The world moves.
