Terrible Instruction in Progress.

KISsToN, IA, November l6.-There
is fear of another riotous and revolution
airy outbreak by the negroes here. The
parish of St. Thomas, in the East, is
threatened. On the present occasion,
as in the case of the former rebellion,
there are as many as four hundred
negroes telerably we'll disciplined,
according to military practice. and are
ready to take up arms. The Protestant
rector of St. David parish has been
already admonished by the leaders of
the colored force. A great panic exists
all over the Island in consequence. The
Government and Executive officers are
on the alert. The white population is
seriously menaced.
Severe shocks of earthquakes were ex-
perienced on the days of the llth and
18th insts.
The news of the instruction in Hayti
is confirmed On the 18th of October
the scene in the legislative chambers
was very violent, and the language
used was of the most threatening
character. 1t all arose from a motion
made to relieve Montese, who is in Cape
Hsytien dungeon. The members all
spoke in his defense 1t is stated that
President Solnave becameso audacious as
to secretly incite rabble of women and
boys to attack the House of Assembly.
This they did, amid loud voices from
Solnave's party, and cries of down with
the assembly, and hurting at the same
time bricks, bottles, sticks, etc. The
dwellings of many were stoned. The
American counsel was fred at, but
escaped unhurt A unanimous pro-
test Of the diplomatic corps
has been presented against all such
scenes, and demanding of the Govern
ment to see to it that the like do not
occur again. At last accounts Port su
Prince was quiet The treaty with the
United States is as yet in suspense.

The Legislature.

FRIDAY, November ia joint session
was held for the purpose of eIecting a
Register aud Entry.tsker for the Hiwasse
district, and NJ. F. johnson being nom.
mated, Senator Cate said he had heard
Mr.. johnson was "rebel." Senator
Henderson answered that be was Union
man at the beginning Of the war, but had
to somewhat modify" his views in 1862;
but since the reorganization Of the State
be had been a good Radical and given
Radical votes. This sDeaking ought to
elect him, as the members Of the Legis-
lature have somewhat modified and must
be in sympathy. Senator Cate, however,
was not satisfied.
Representative Hamilton wished 10 be
excused from voting He also had
somewhat modified" since the sugar,
and did not know but Andrew johnson
was before the convention, and he could
not vote for him under any circum-
siapees. He therefore gave his vote for
General jackson, several members an.
nouneing it as for "Sionewall Jackson"
What witty gentlemen these cronies Of
somewhat modified Hamilton are. An.
other vote was also given for General
Vaughan, Of East Tennessee, a Confed-
crate soldier and gentleman, all in joke
Of course. Indeed, IL we are correctly
informed about It, the Legislature is
rather a joke itself For want Of quo
rum there was ne election.

WASHINGTON.
The City now a Strong Military
Post-Radicals and the South.

New YORK, November lS.-The New
York Heralds special says the garrison
of Washington has been considerably
reinforced within the past week or two,
and it now forms military post of more
imposing strength than it ever did be-
fore in time of peace. An anxious in
quirer learns it is because the troops can
be furnished better winter quarters here
than elsewhere.
The Worlds special says, 'the Repub-
lican Senators and Representatives who
have arrived here express determine
ton to stand by the reconstruction
measures, and maintain if majority Of
the white men of the South stand aloof
and take no part in the election, then
they are in favor of placing the govern
ing power in the hands of the negroes
and the few whites who act with them.
Both the President and Secretary
McCulloch are in favor Of Sherman's
proposed FIVE per cent loan bill.

boon 10 the community in which the
banks are located.
The temptation to contract on tue
assignment ofprudential reasons, under
such circumstances as now exist is too
great to be resisted. A shaving business
Is too profitable to be abandoned for
regular and legitimate banking, and
when it is possible, and to oil the extent
they can, the banks will resort to it.
Without some compulsive restrictions
nothing else is 10 be expected No bank
should be chartered without requiring 1t
to loan money at legal rates to the
amount Of three for one OF its capital,
whenever reasonable securities are
offered, and loans to that extent are de-
handed by the people. This may be
done safely and proftably by any banks,
not bogus; and if they will not give so
much for the privilege of their charters,
they ought to be deprived of them, in all
cases in which it can be legally done.
Bankers are privileged class, beyond
the equivalent which they render at this
time for their privileges. They live
better than other people, on the fat OF
the land. Their directors and controlling
men give no five, or three, or two, or one
per cent. for money-while all Others
must do it or go without-not they
How is this2 We may take occasion to
look further into this matter hereafter,
and more especially, particularly and
individually. How is it that, when
ample securities are offered, money
enough can hardly be obtained from the
banks of Memphis to answer market
purposes2 How is it the people have
no money, while the banks hold them
selves forth as having ample capital and
ability to supply the wants of our citi-
zens2 Was not the promise Of loans in
their contracts with the State the very

If the bankers are to make
out case of necessity, in which they
are unable to do better, it is proper the
public should be advised of it. The
object Of their incorporation, and the
condition of it, was that they should
serve the public as well as themselves.
If they are unwilling or unable, their
charters are forfeited, and should be
given to others. AS it is the duty as well
as the right of the press to deal with
matters affecting the public interest,
even though those of individuals may be
concerned, we invite communications,

Radicals denied all intention of en-
franchising the blacks, and when it was
charged on them, called it Islander, Dem
ocratic clap trap, etc. Soon after, and
when loyal leagues began to be
formed, and it was also charged on them,
they concealed and denied that. And,
when the existence of such leagues was
known and advertised fact, it was soon
further charged that their intention was
to arm, instruct and drill the negroes,
and to accomplish by force so much of
their purpose as they should be unable
to do without it This also they denied /;
although it is now too true to be denied
even by them that every one Of these
charges were true. Events, crowding
one after another, have demonstrated
that all their purposes were selfshly
partisan, and to the Southern whites, ma
lign. Their whole work has been "un.
derground for the thirty years it has
taken to accomplish it. They love
darkness rather than light because their
deeds are evil, and there is nothing
damnable which may not be expected of
them, because there is nothing too base
for them to do which is in the compass
of their power.
Bat We are pleased to see that now
even the Northern portion Of the Radical
party itself is beginning to finch from
the banquet spread by its Southern CO.
AUDITORS. 1t is hopeful sign of return
ing sanity, and shows that the hand.
writing, which the late elections have
placed on the wall, has been read by
them. They are already reforming.
The Radical Cincinnati Commercial, in
an article which denies that the Alabama
convention is composed Of unworthy
and ludicrous materials" comedies with
many Of its Northern contemporaries in
saying that there is in the convention
an unwise longing for vengeance upon
the task.masters and rebels Of other
days that we view with apprehension.
The proposition to pay the blacks
wages for their services from the
date Of the proclamation Of emancipation
to that of the actual emancipation is
a grotesque folly. That to confscate a
railroad in another fslly. The sue
cess Of the Convention in framing new
State government depends upon the
capacity Of the members 10 lift them
selves above the atmosphere of passion
and revengefulness. Nothing short Of
enfranchising all, and starting fair for
the future, will command the sympathy
Of the intelligent and insure the success
of reconstruction as proposed"
The day is dawnipg. The country is
becoming sane. The time is near when
the Southern white vandals will find their
occupation gone. With reference to the
fact that the Alabama Convention has
sent on TO Washington for instructions,
the Commercial further says;
We think the proposition Of the Ala
bama convention 10 embroil the State in
perpetual difficulty by DISTINGUISHING the
class heretofote most conspicuous and
influential, will be decidedly discounte-
nanced and will come TO an end. IL is
OF no little consequence that the Ala
bana convention should 90 right in this
matter; and as the Alabama Radicals
are asking advice, We trust they will get
a wholesome article, not only from the
Republican politicians in Congress, but
from the press Of the North.
