THE SOUTHERN PRESS.

The utterances of some of the Southern
newspapers are satisfactory and encouraging.
We quote couplet Of this kind. The Sails
bury IN. CO Old North State, in taking its
stand in favor of negro suffrage, says:
eve are happy to know that public SEN
timent is rapidly undergoing change
Thoughtful men are beginning to see the i'm
possibility of keeping among us and govern
ing population of four millions of human
beings without making them the friends of
the government-which cannot be done
without giving them an interest in the CON
troll of it. This can only be done safely by
investing such of them as may be capable of
exercising il intelligently with the right of
suffrage. We would then propose to invest
such of them with the right Of suffrage as
may be the owners of two hundred dollars
worth of taxable property, or who can read
and write and who sustain n good moral
character"
And another North Carolina paper, the
Wilmington Journal, asks one or two ques-
tions; "How many ablc-boded men do you
suppose there are just at this moment, sit
ting down in the cities, villages and country
"stores,p whiting and specializing about
what the Yankees are going to do next, and
telling each other what Sherman stole from
them? And what amount of time, on a
moderate calculation, is thus consumed every
month, and how much whiskey? II is alb
solutely fearful to contemplate.
''Did the discussion of politics ever do us
any particular good that you are aware of
Can poor folks make any money by ii, or re
ligious people improve their piety by ii

himself flat on his back with big fellow sit
ting on his abdomen, and both arms pinned

The call made by Mr.. Summer, in his reso-
luton for the correspondence of Mr. Seward
on which he based his letter to Mr.. Motley,
will not be responded to even IL II passes
the Senate. The person who wrote the letter
is an agent of Mr. Seward, and is now an
applicant for place 1t is believed that Mr..
Adams, Mr. Marsh, and other Ministers and
Consuls, who respect their own character
more than the em0luments of their offices,
will not remain silent under the implied re-
buke conveyed to them in Mr.. Stewards dis
patch to Mr.. Motley.
The President gives state dinners weekly,
to which he invites certain number of
prominent persons. The judicial, diplomatic,
cabinet and senatorial lists have already
been exhausted, and the list of Congressman
comes next in importance. The fourth din
ner will be given next Tuesday, and the al
phabetical principle which has been adopted
has caused invitations to be sent to the
great impcacher,' Ashley, and such other
friends OF the President as Gov. Boutwell,,
Broomall, Banks, Bingham, Blaine, Blow,
Conkling and Colfax. The toasts to be offer
ed on the occasion have not yet been made
public
A proposition has been introduced into
| Congress to purchase large tract of land on
the picturesque bank of Rock creek for a
city park. The purchase of the land will
cost one hundred thousand dollars, and It Is
proposed TO have it laid out by engineer
officers.
The Library committee will soon report u
bill for the purchase of the unique collection
OF books, manuscripts, maps, and engrav-
| ings belonging to Peter Force, of N. York.
As the collection is mortgaged, this is prob
ably the only way to prevent its being dis
persed, after Mr.. Force has devoted life
| time to its accumulation

We rejoice to see and chronicle the fact
that MIR. Bancroft, of this county, has said a
word in behalf of the irampled cause OF
Popular Education, in this State. He of
fered, yesterday, in the House, a preamble
and resolutions guaranteeing to the Public
Schools the inviolability of the funds set
apart fol their support, and referring in pro
per terms 10 the necessity of popular educa-
ton. That the Democratic majority sum
marily set the whole matter aside by indefi-
nitely postponing tile consideration of the
resolutions, and thus once more placed them
selves in opposition to the interests of the
masses OF our people, is no discredit to this
praiseworby action of Mr.. Bancroft, but
only a new item in the score which will be
one day presented against them, when at
length popular intelligence in Delaware
awakes to realization of its interests and
RIGHTS

II rs FACT demanding remark that not
withstanding the immense interests of this
State in manufacturing industry, our Sena-
tors in Congress seem to have no idea what
ever of afiording any protection to them.
Like Governor Salisbury they seem imbued
with the idea that Delaware has nothing to
be cared for but Agriculture, ignoring the
connection between the two, and the fact
that one cannot prosper while the other Ian

to have no care for legslating in its behalf.
On Tuesday, when the Tariff bill was UNI

made to slaughter it by motion from Gar
rett Davis of Kentucky to re-commit it to thu

THE CITY GOVERNMENT.

Mr.. Bradford, Of this city, has introduced
into the House. bill "To amend the Char
ter of the City Of Wilmington of a very i'm
portant character. The first section CON
tains the most important proyisions:-
BE ii enacted, DC, That at the annual
election Of officers of the City of Wilmington
to be held on the first Tuesday of September
in the year 1867 and on the same day in
every third year thereafter the voters in the
respective wards and precincts shall vote for
Mayor, Alderman, Assessor and Treasurer
who shall be elected by plurality of all the
votes cast in the several wards or precincts
of the said City. And the Mayor, Alderman,
Assessor and Treasurer of said City shall
hereafter hold their Offices respectively ioi
the term of three years, to commence on the
day next after their election, excepting the
Assessor and Treasurer, whose terms shall
commence on the first day of January next
| after their election"

THE TRrE ARGUMENT.

About the poorest. ihinest and most con-
temptible argument urged in opposition to
any project OF impFq5 sl.ent in the city is
one which to the mind OF some persons
seems conclusive and unanswerabe--tha
the improvement will benefit private pro-
perry holders in its neighborhood. That this
is no argument whatever is easy to see. If
ii were valid it would prevent every measure
Of improvement, however necessary. Every
stroke of a hammer, or pick, or shovel on
the public streets is benefit to the pro-
perry owners in the immediate locality.
The building Of culvert, the paving of a
street, the laying Of crossing, though done
at the public expense, puts money in the
pockets of those who live near.
There is only one test for propositions OF
city improvement. 1t is: Will this be tc
the public advantage Of the city Of Whining
ton: There may be some persons who will
receive little benefit by it-some, perhaps
none at all. Even in the most necessary
improvement a portion of the people may BIZ
so peculiarly situated that they will have ne
share in its effects. Yet if the great mass o
citizens will be benefited, the improvement
should be made.
These suggestions have peculiar peril
hence at this time in connection with thu
proposed avenue to the Delaware. TIL,
question is, will it benefit the whole cit,
enough to warrant its construction? If so
let it be built with the city's money, withou
hesitation or loss of time, for time is none,
/ 10 all live neonlc.

and if the writer should then prefer, he or
she can afterwards easily find publisher
without the "serial" preliminary. Some
times this first appearance is by several
short productions instead of one long one.
Henry Ward Beecher, for instance, is at
present vigorously at work upon his first
book. 1t is true that several volumes have
been issued with his name upon their title
pages; but all these have been compilations
of paragraphs. newspaper articles, sermons
or lectures. Hawthorne, again, wrote many
short magazine stories and sketches before

Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis, whose
novel "Waiting for the Verdict" begins in
The Galory, for February 10Th, has already
made these Introductory experiments. Her
powerful and wildly realistic stories of

EVERYBODY REMEMBERS the burning Of
Chambersburg, by the Rebels, in 1864. 1t
was one of the most atrociou' acts of the
war. Yet General Early, by whose orders
it was done, has the hardihood TO say, in a
book recently published -
" For this act, alone am responsible, as
the officers engaged in it were simply carry
ing out my orders, and had no discretion
left them. Notwithstanding the lapse OF
time which has occurred, and the result of
the war, / am perfectly satisfied with my
conduct on this occasion, and see no reason
to regret it.
There is one place in the country which
in future years this incendiary will be apt to
avoid, and that is the town of Chambersburg.
If not, his reception there might give him
reason to regret" his visit.

THE CURRENCY.

There are some subjects, on the theory
and facts Of which students and philosoph-
ers agree, but that of Finance, in this coun-
try is not one of them. Whether our true
policy at this time should be contraction
and return TO specie paying, or whether
the currency is not in excess of the demands
of trade, are views totally opposite, argued
with great vehemence by numerous and re-
spectacle parties and upon which they can
come to no agreement.
Whatever theory is correct it has beer
evident for some time that leading business
men and financiers are averse to contraction
and Congress has explicitly declared itself OF
the question. We are likely to be commit
ted to the present amount of currency
whether that is too great or not. In The
House, at Washington, on Monday, Mr.
Grinnell's resolutions were adopted. as fol
lows:
That the public interest demands that ther,
shall not, during the current year. be any re-
ducti0n Of the amount Of outstanding Unitet
States notes. commonly called ''grcenbacks.
