THE WHITE MEN TO BE EXPELLED FROM
THE SoUTH.-There is nothing more GER
tain than that, under the negro rule which
the Radicals have imposed upon the south
ern States, the white people will be COM
PEELED to leave, and that ere long the whole
southern portion of our country will be a
vast negro province. Ex-Governor Perry,
of South Carolina, in late letter, truth
fully and forcibly says:
alt is idle folly to tell the people of
South Carolina that capital and immi-
grants will flow into the State when recon-
structed on the Black Republican platform.
On the contrary, as soon as this negro 60
vernment is organized, every dollar of
foreign capital in South Carolina will be
withdrawn, and not one cent will come
here seeking investment. Nor will any
foreigners move here to settle, under ne
gro rule, and the confusion and disturb
ance which it will give rise to in the State.
Mr.. Calhoun predicted, years ago, that if
the negro was set free the northern people
would insist on his right of suffrage, and,
if allowed, the negroes would seize the
government and the white people would
have to leave the State"

The jurors in the Surratt case report
that if, under the charge Of the court,
they would have been permitted to find
the prisoner guilty as an accessory to the
plot to abduct Mr.. Lincoln, they could
have found verdict of guilty in thirty
minutes.
Lawyers here say the dismissal of Mr.,
Bradley from practicing at the bar will not
hold good; that the rules and practice re-
quire that specifications should be regu-

had an opportunity to file his answer and
be heard by himself or counsel.-Sun.

Destructive Freshet.

NEWARK, N. j., August l0.-A freshet
IN the northern part of this city on Friday
destroyed about 100000 worth of pro-
rerty. Recent rains swelled the streams
emptying into the Morris canal, which
broke. The water poured into the Aque-
duct reservoir, which also burst, flooding
large portions Of the seventh and eighth
wards. The stone bridge at the upper end
Of Broad street was swept away. The
principal private losses were by Palmer s.
Co, printing ink makers, $4,000; Raven
hills straw hat factory, $4,000; Nichols s.
Tompkins, saddle cloth factory, $4,000.

Sanford COnOyer's Last Trick.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE papers
presented by Durham, alias Conover, for
pardon contain no word impugning Ash
ley, Butler, or other persons. Those
which protested to disclose the plot were
filed subsequently and apparently in de-
spair of obtaining pardon without them.
There is the highest authority for saying
that when the disclosures came officially
before the President, he decided to sub
NIT them to the public without further in
vestigation, or any attempt to gather adj
ditional evidence, which was said to exist.

SUPPOSED ASSASSINATION OF A SPY.-The
New York Evening Express of Saturday
gives the following account of a mystic
rious affair which that paper believes to be
true:
Some few months ago gentleman en-
ployed in fashionable Broadway dry
goods store accidentally encountered an
in Dublin as a member Of the Metropoli-
tan police force Of that beautiful city. The
ex-M. P. did not seem particularly graft
fled at meeting with his quondam acquain-
lance, and as soon as he decently could,
took his leave. The dry goods man heard
or saw no more Of him, and was fast for
getting his existence, when q paragraph in
one of the morning papers giving an &C
count of the finding of the body Of dead
man in the river, with bullet-hole through
his head, attracted his attention. The
description of the murdered man tailed
so exactly with the appearance Of his old
and intimate friend that he thought it
right to repair to the Morgue, and the first
his worst suspicious were but too we'll
louuucu. AuSlS, ollClShCU on viz vi luS
marble slabs, unknown, with pallid brow
and staring visage, lay the body of the man
to whom, as subsequent developments went
to prove, had been meted out the dire
penalty of death for being, as supposed,
an informer. In about five weeks after
his visit to the Morgue the gentleman we
have spoken of received letter dated
Dublin from the brother Of the ex-police-
man. The writer stated that rumor had
reached him, which he found impossible
to trace to any reliable source, to the
effect that his brother had been shot in
New York and thrown into the river, and
that he would feel obliged if his friend
would call at the British consulate and
make inquiries about the matter. The
mention Of the British consulate solved
the whole mystery of the tragic fate of
the ex-polceman, whom he now felt Ger
tain had met his death whilst following the
vocation of spy in the Empire city. He
had an Interview subsequently with an
official attached to the British consulate,
which convinced him that his view OF the
case was correct one. In this connection
it may be mentioned that two Of the Irish
informers have died violent deaths, that
another barely escaped with his life from
the knife Of an Irish-American.

A NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND
A few days ago Mr.. W. W. Weeks adver-
tsed for place at which boy could be
taught trade. On the day following a
man having the appearance of mechanic
called on Mr.. Weeks, and representing
himself to be Mr.. Williamson, machinist,
of Richmond, engaged the boy, who was
to 90 up the next morning. As the
stranger was about TO leave he asked the
change for ten-dollar bill, which was
being made up when he discovered that
he had in changing his clothes left his
pocket-book at home. But nine dollars
and seventy cents of change was collected,
which the stranger asked the loan of, say
ing that the boy could get it when he came
up the next day. A Mr.. Williamson was
found at the place stated, but he did not
want boy, nor had he authorized any
one to act for him in the way stated.

communication to Secretary Stanton sus-
pending him from Office, and directing
him to transfer the records, books, etc., to

duties of the Office at once.
At noon the President received note
from Secretary Stanton denying the Pre-
sident's right under the Constitution to
suspend him without the consent Of the
Senate or some cause but inasmuch as
the General commanding the armies of the
United States had notified him (Stanton)
that he had accepted the appointment of
Secretary of War ad interim, he (S.) had
no alternative but to submit under protest
to superior force.

canvassed by the friends of the road. The
people there seem to be alive to the fact
that the success Of this great work now
depends upon the action Of the people on
the route, and are determined that the five
hundred thousand dollars called for from
Kanawha shall be forthcoming. The great
and practical question now is to carry the
road through the mountains to the head of
navigation that done, the completion of
the road to the Ohio river is also secured,
for the success Of the road depends upon
its being through route to the West. We
understand that the election in Kanawha
is the first to be held, and her action will
undoubtedly largely control the action of
other counties. And from present indica-
tions it seems beyond question that Kama
