A colored man in Richmond, virginia, John
Dsbney by name. purchased his freedom from his
mistress lust before the war for $1,000, agreeing
to pay the amount by instsllments. During the
pendency Of the struggle he paid about one-hslf
Of it in Confederate currency, which was at last
so deprecated in value that his late mistress re-
ouested him 10 discontinue the payments until the
close Of the conflict. When slavery was abolished,
tie debt was of course no longer due; but not
withstanding be was advised against such a
course, Dabney lately transmitted TO his old mis-
tress, now in INDECENT circumstances, 5000 in
greenbscks, being the balance OF the $1,000 he
had contracted to pay.

One OF the most inhuman acts we have ever
witnessed was enacted in this city by the radicals
during the late election. A poor old colored man,
sick well nigh unto death, carried to the polls
TO deposit his ballot. So very i'll was he that he
had not sufficient strength and consciousness left
TO enable him TO tell his name, and for that reason
his vote was rejected. He was carried back
under the hill, and has since died. His death was
no doubt accelerated by the excitement and ex-
posure to which he was subjected by the greedy
savages who brought him to the polls; aud the
crime of murder, in our Judgment, rests upon
their heads.-I Natchez DenOcrst.

The last issue Of the Msrksville Villager says:
/" It is astonishing to note the great quantity OF
sweet potatoes which have been planted this
year. There are few who will not make more
than three times the quantity that they can con-
rune. With fair season rice will be in abund'
ance this year. In the vicinity Of this town there
are not less than fifty ponds and coulees sowed
with that grain. Such is agriculture as we under
stand il, and our people will find that they have
acted wisely. The water is receding rapidly. aud
in less than ten days the bayous and coulees will
be dry. Fishing excursions will then be in vogue,
and smusements generally are anticipated.

Congress appears to be disposed to move
promptly in the matter Of the postal tele-
graph, but its head seems at present to be
turned in wrong direction. Propositions
have been made to incorporate new companies
under the sanction and patronage Of the gov
eminent, or to make contracts with the existing
companies for stipulated services to be rem
dered to the Post Office Department; but
these are only weak devices Of the enemy,
designed to prevent the accomplishment OF the
great reform Of the age-the amalgamation of
the postal and telegraphic administrations.
To all such schemes, Congress should turn a
deaf ear. Their object ia to embarrass the
main question, which is the introduction of
the same system in the United States as has
proved SO advantageous to the people and so
remuneratve to the governments In Europe
They emanate from the telegraphic monopo-
lies and private corporations which at present
enjoy the enormous profits OF the business and
afford such meagre facilities to the public
What the people and the press demand is a
complete reform which shall make the
o'Se"N UicBf"ph 40 mucn pupuc III
stituton as the Post Office, and insure
to the citizens as low rates for messages as
now prevail for letters. wepublsh to-day the
opinions of some leading journals on this sub
ject and recommend them to the notice Of the
Congressional committee. It will be seen that
the press and the people generally favor this
reform, and that its only opponents here, as In
Europe, will be found among the officers Of
private telegraph companies and those whose
interests are identified with such corporations

The reception of our new Minister to Mexico,
General Rosecrans, upon his arrival at Vera
Cruz, was Of q very dattering character. The
highest honors were paid to him on his land
ing, showing that he was cordially welcomed
by the Mexican people upon touching their
soil. He was escorted on his land journey to
the city of Mexico by an escort of fifty SOL
dlers. There is no reason to suppose that his
diplomatic mission will not find as much favor
with the Mexican government as that bestowed
upon him by the Mexican public. General
Rosecrans has q very delicate mission in hand
He is, in fact, the advance guard of an active
system of diplomacy in Spanish America
The result Of his labors in the sorcly disturbed
and afflicted republic Of Mexico may have
much to do with our future relations with all
the Spanish American States. No doubt
General Rosecrans comprehends this, and as
the government and the country have reposed
an important trust in him they will rely upon
bis judgment and firmness in dealing with the
authorities Of the republic to which he is ac-
credited, In order that good fruits may come
from his mission. 1t is no easy task which he
has to perform, but his antecedents warrant
the expectation that he will accomplish IL with
credit

Congressional Thanks to General Reynolds.
A resolution was offered in Congress yes
terday to thank General Reynolds for his
liability and impartiality in discharge of the
delicate and important duties which devolved
upon him as Commander Of the Fifth Military
District" If there is a military district which
requires more ability than that just named we
fail to know it. It's government during the
administration Of General Reynolds was per-
haps more difficult than at any previous period
and far more troublesome than it can be here
after. At the close of the rebellion Texas was
the only State which boosted that she was
unconquered. She had, as single instance
In the South, made large sums of money by
the war, which was very popular in conse-
quence. The vast territory was covered by
renegades and desperadoes who gave ale
glance to neither God nor man. II contained
the worst of the Southern, the Indian, the
negro and the Mexican element, and was stu
ated so far out of reach of our general govern
ment that these hybrid elements ran riot in
everything but morality. To be military
governor on the Rio Grande del Norte, where
General Reynolds was 6rst sent was the posi-
ton most fitted to try the ability of any COM
mander; and that it was so well filed is
proof of rare merit. We therefore heartily
approve of the resolution of thanks as shove
mentioned, and IL should be given to the soldier
who 80 richly deserves it.

THE TROUBLES BETWEEN TURKEY AND
GRERcE.-Our cable kilograms, via Vienna,
published this morning bring The important
intelligence that the Greek and Turkish Minis
tiers had left Constantinoplc and Athens. The
previous reports of the Grecian government
having rejected the Sultan's ultimatrm are
also confirmed by special despatch to o
Vienna newspaper which states that this rejec-
ton was made "amid great popular enthu-
siasm." The indications now are that war
is imminent between the two nations---a con-
1ct which, considering the strength and
resources of the presumed beligerents, cannot
be OF long duration, unless the great Powers
OF Europe see ft to take part. This latter
event Is now hardly probable, as the Austrian
Ambassador at Constantinople has been with
drawn on the representations Of the French
and English Ambassadors at Vienna to the
Austrian government that her attitude on the
Eastern question was endangering the peace
Of all Europe. Should such lamentable
event transpirc, however, IL would be likely
TO plunge the whole Continent in desolating
war.

ANOTHER AMERICAN IDEA-JoHN BULL IN
FAVOR IT.-One of our latest cable dispatches
informs us that the low rate of postage for
newspapers and the ''free exchange system
Of this country are being discussed in the lead
ing journals and recommended for adoption IN
Great Britain under her new and more liberal
form of government. Education Of the people
is now felt to be necessity. Everything
must be done to encourage IL. The point,
however, in this piece of news Is tnls-that
Great Britain is becoming Americanized and
that she begins to know il. Our institutions
must become moro and more hers.

Woman Suffrage in the District Of Columbia.
Senator Wilson has introduced bill SO to
amend the suffrage laws of the District of
Columbia as to give to women Of all colors
and races, as well as men, the right Of suf-
frage. AS Congress has exclusive powers of
legislation over the District of Columbia in all
cases whatsoever" here is fair chance to try
the two houses upon this very interesting
question. There are few outspoken members
of the Senate in favor Of woman suffrage, and
first and foremost among them is "Old Ben
Wade" who goes for the whole programme of
negroes rights and womens rights. Senator
Pomeroy, of Kansas, has so far advanced in
the cause Of woman suffrage that he has pro-
posed to make it part of the supreme law of
the land. But we like the idea of Mr.. Wilson
of first trying the experiment in the District of
Columbia.
We remember the time when, in full view
from the west front of the Capitol, there was
regular slave pen, which was also market
where niggers were bought and sold. The abo-
litionists first raised hue and cry against that
pen, and they kept it up to 1850, when
among the compromise measures Of Henry
Clay passed that year was provision abolish
ing the slave trade in the District. Some
twelve years later, during the rebellion, the
holder and broader experiment was tried Of
abolshing slavery IN toto in said District, and
year or so after that an act followed estab-
fishing universal negro suffrage in said District.
These measures over reserved bit of territory
over which Congress possesses absolute
authority were deemed judicious experiments
and were demanded for the sake of consis-
tency, in view Of the legislation resolved upon
in Southern reconstruction. So now, in view
of constitutional amendment establishing not
only manhood suffrage but womanhoOd suffrage
throughout the United States, Mr.. Wilson
doubtless thinks it wise first to try the expert
ment Of woman suffrage in the aforesaid Dis
trict to see how it will work. Very well. We
believe at medical institution in this city they
keep dog for purposes of vivisection, and the
dog, it is said, still lives, though dreadfully
disfgured and mutilated. So, as the District
Of Columbia has not only survived but has
emancipation and negro suffrage, we cannot
imagine why there should be any hesitation in
trying therein the experiment of woman suf-
frage. AT all events, let Senator Wilson push
forward his bill, so that the country may know,
so that General Grant may know and so that
the women may know who in the Senate in
favor of negroes rights will dare to oppose
womens rights. -ssr.r

The Removal Of the Hell Gate Obssruc.
lions.

Mr.. Schenck's resolution calling on the Sec
rotary of War for information as to ''what has
been done towards removing the Hell Gate OBJ
structions" is most timely. As yet we do not
know anything about the matter. Plans should
nave been completed long since. These should
snow thorough cross section of the river at
every ten feet for the whole distance along the
nne OF the work. A Typographical survey Of
Tue Dottom should also be made, showing its
INES OF equal level, and in such complicated
matter wooden model of the river bed should
De made rom the surveys. This would enable
the engineers to study the effect of the currents
and the best method Of removing the rocks.
AS to the bids which have been offered. we
have very little confidence In them. There
has been work enough done under water in the
last ten years in different parts Of the world to
render the whole matter one of approximate
mathematical calculation. Any bid not based
on such calculation is not worth listening to.
for 1t will be failure and prolong the time for
the removal of the impediments to navigation.
II our United States military and civil engi-
neers are not capable of devising q method to
carry out the work let us acknowledge our
ignorance and import foreign engineering
brains from some European schoolhouse.
