Mr. WELLS, Special Commissioner of
the Revenue, has written letter to Eng.
Ish bond holders, in which he answers
the question "whether the interest as
well as principal Of the FIVE twenty bonds
will be paid in gold" as follows: |
would say that have no doubt whatev-
er that a Il such payments will pc made 10
gold. II the law does not beyond a doubt
express this TACT, you must remember
that there Is no such expression in the
British consols or in the French rents;
and it would be absurd to suppose that
great nation like the United States is
going to conduct itself, in regard to
principal and interest of its debt, other
than in accordance with the recognized
laws of commerce and morality"

Better Not.

talk" A Greek aphorism has said the
same thing substantially before him. 1t
may have been said, a hundred times by
persons, independent and ignorant OF
each others sayings. 1t is according to
the operation of the human mind, as that
OF Shakespeare, akin to this, is: ,...
, MlIow OF the sight of the mean, to do i'll deeds
Makes i'll deeds DONE
And as doing and thinking are often
exponents Of each other, we naturally
and fairly infer from the quiet exhibi-
ton, three or four days ago, of the
thoughts of the New York World, that
they have some parallel in the design and
doings of the party of which it is the
ablest and truest representative. .r
The Uolrd shows how the the Repub }.
llcan members of Congress might or rath.
er how they will, in a certain contlgency
be superseded by the action Of the Pres
ident, aDd Congress composed of South
ern and Northern Demo Gratis take their
place. This scheme we gave to our read
ers yesterday morning We now give
below the Southern aspect of the same
case, from the Richmond organ, the En-,
qu'rer, with its own italics
"Northern sentiment ,cW sustain as t,
resisting to tie last cctre0,jty hat ole
scheme Of Congressional Reconstruction
'ch'ch d'als at the supremacy o/ the ne
gro. That most infamous conspiracy TO
degrade and dishonor the white race. we
must now resist to the last gasp utterly
regardless of the malignant efforts of a
moribund effeto Congress to precipitate
the deba6ement and ruin of :he white
raccj provided we keep before the North>
erp people the fact that we are wiling
to return to the Union upon any condi>
tons which do not require the African
cation of the South"
The reader will notice that the only
essential differences between this rant
and nonsense, and that which was not
long ago applied to the United States
Government is, that the negro now oc-
cupies the same position, in the antipa>
thy and the railing, that all Northern
people did then. and that the "last gasp"
Is the ultimatum, instead of the "last
ditch" Of the rebellion era. But the in
telllgen reader knows that in neither
case was there any disposition on the
part OF Northern people or Republicans,
to place she Southern people under the
domination Of either Yankee or negro,
but simply to maintain the Union on the
basis Of law and loyalty. Nor is it like,
ly, that the fury of those, who are with.
out loyalty and who openly proclaim or
coyertly betray their int ntion to resist
law, will trighten them from the position
and purpose which they have already
mslntained at so great a sacrifice.
The backward movement of violence
lnumated.by the World and u enaced by
the Enquirer will not greatly alarm any>
body IN the North. But it involves re.
suits, which the blacks viii be likely 10
regard wish apprehension, that may lead
to consequences which no man North or
South can contemplate without deep con,
Germ. The best way for all is to keep to
the course prescribed by law. We have
seen enough of the contrary course to
make US at least cautions about menacing
OF abetting either violent resistance or
violent usurpation. .--PdtsJurgh COM

Netting; 3; Of q tho 'coiso,Tl,sa People, :

Meeting: q tho 7coiosssd People. 80
Our State exchanges, this week,
bring us notices of several meetingl
ofthe colored people. held in various
Districts. In Sumter, as wa learn
from the MesCs, meeting was held,
but the report" was not received
until just before the paper was going
to press. The report is as follows:
,"On the evening of the Sth Of
April, at a mass meeting of the co.
lored citizens of Sumter, Mr.. Abra.
ham Rufin was called to the chair.
and Mr.. Samuel Lee was appointed
secretary. 80.
"The chairman, in few well-timed
and appropriate remarks, explained
to those who were present the object
of the meeting-which was, to take
into consideration the best and most
efficient means of bringing about
more kind and friendly feelings be-
tween the two classes of the people
of our town"
The Mews says:
'"We will take occasion in our next
to make such remarks, in connection
with the same, as will at once illus
trate and verify the effect produced
upon our white citizens by this praise
worthy action of the freedmen"
But, in other communities, the
feelings and purposes of those con-
scerned are shown to be hostile to the
best interests Of the people, white
and coloFed- in this State. TheDar-
lington So,tthe,'ner notices a meeting
of the colored people of that town,
to listen to q lecture by the Rev. B.
f. Whittemore, and organize a M.
tional Republican party. No notice
having been given of the meeting,
the editor was not in attendance, but
learns, from those who were present,
that:
ga studied effort was made on the
part of the speaker to convince the
freedmen that his true friends were
those of the radical party; that the
white men, here were not only their
enemies but enemies of the Govern
ment ct heart, and were only pre-
vented from showing it by their
weakness. Of course, all the stale
arguments of the old Abolition party
were brought forward to work upon
an ignorant and simple people, to
get them ready to endorse the plat
form made in Charleston. Our in
formant tells us that contrast was
drawn between the Democratic and
the Republican parties, where the
speaker made it appear to the salts
faction of his audience that the
former had all the bad, and the latter
all the good, qualities of the nation !;
and then called upon the house to
say-by rising-which they would
endorse. Of course all rose up"
The Greenville Diountaineer, of the
llth, also publishes a report of the
proceedings of ga meeting of the
colored citizens of Greenville." At
this meeting, the officers and speakers
all seem to have been of their own
class; but all tho speeches were in
opposition to the sentiments uttered
by Beverly Nash ut the great meet
ing held in this city last month, and
advocating and espousing the policy
and cause of the Republican party of
the North.
There are evidently some agencies
at work, seeking to form discord-
ant party among the freedmen, as
opposed to the whites of the South.
Our whole people, both white and
colored, should be on the alert to
counteract their schemes.

reason, we say that such articles, art
coming from a leading and infiuen-
tial journal, are.anjust in their alle-
cations and mischievous in tht r ten.
denotes. X z
But the evil intent of the article
we comment on is more fully deve-
loped in the following paragraph.
Speaking of the people of the South
ern States, it says:
"Having failed to overcome the
power put forth by the Federal Go
vernment in support of the Union
having tried Intellectually by the force
Of arms to- assert the sovereignty of
the Southern States, in the secession
ist sense of the term-having denied
the title of the Federal Government
to coerce rebel States into submis-
sion, only yielding when further de-
nial had become impossible-they
propose now to transfer the struggle
to the courts, and to attain their ends
by bringing the artillery of the Fede-
raj judiciary to bear upon Congress.
The effrontory of the spectacle is as
notable rs its novelty. In my other
country, the parties to these proceed
ings would have figured before the
law in q totally different character.
They would, long ere now, have been
required to answer for their lives as
rebels awaiting punishment"
We speak of the ''evil intent of
such writing as this-for such intent
is patent upon its face-to rekindle
and infiame those sectional preju-
dices and animosities which, we were
all fain to believe, were buried, with
the hatchet, beneath the apple tree
at Appomattox, and which every
good citizen would be rejoiced to see
remain unexhumed. There is no
struggle" to be transferred" for
the struggle ceased two years ago;
nor could the ends sought to be at
tanned by that struggle" while it
lasted, be accomplished by even the
''artillery of the Federal judiciary" :"
The Times knows this, or, at least,
ought to know it, from the extracts
which it has published from the
Ph@ni.r and other Southern journals.
From these it learned that the peo-
pie of the South were earnestly de-
sirous to engage in the work of re-
construction, under the laws of
Congress; but its present editorial
ignores this fact. and is designed to
cast odium upon that people of whom
the editor, in the Philadelphia Con-
vention, expressed q worthier, and
certainly more correct, opinion. We
entreat the Times and other Northern
journals to aid us in the work of
restoration and peace, rather than
fan to life the expiring embers of dis
cord and strife.
