In consequence of Gen. Roda's proclama-
ton the insurgents surrendered their arms,
and turned them over to the military authori-
ties. From 1000 to 10000 troops and Q
war vessels were ready to attack the city at
noon. All is quiet now. Over 10000 per-
sons have left the city. There is great dis
tress among the poor who remain, and among
those who Fed. All foreign consuls and IA
miles except the Swedish and American left
the city. There are 537 barricades in Cadz.
Gen. Roda entered Cadiz at two O'Clock
this p. NJ, with all his troops. The insur-
gents seem satisfied with the result. Their
feelings are undoubtedly in favor of Re
public. 500 prisoners were killed and wound
ed on both sides during the fighting of last
week.

Latest indications are that Gen. Caleb
Cushing's mission will be found to have ref
erence to the pending negotiations with the
government of Columbia, about concession Of
rights for ship canal across the Isthmus of
Darien, similar to that recently obtained from
Nicaragua All that is positively known Of
Gen. Cushings doings before he left, agree
with this theory, and it is known that our
government was expecting advices from South
America on that subject. 1t is thought some
unexpected hitch in the negotiation has in-
duced Secretary Seward to employ Gen.
Gushing.
\ bill is in course Of preparation, which
will be introduced in the House in few
days, prohibiting Banks from paying interest
on their deposits 1t is held that a large
amount Of money is kept out of circulation,
and in many sections of the country, the
stringeney in the monetary affairs is produced
by the reason that the Banks keep control Of
all surplus currency by paying small inter-
est on the sums deposited with them. To
prevent this is the object of the present bill.
The nomination of Collector Smythe as

a preacher in one Of the most fash
ionable churches Of this city said in his
sermon last Sunday: ~ once babtized
a c0lored lady in the Atlantic Ocean,
and although she was as black as she
could conveniently be, she look cd
beautiful" ''Coi0red lady, is phrase
in harmony with what are called the
advanced ideas Of the age, and with
the hfricanized religion Of the MAORI
ty Of our churches. This Wench also
"looked beautiful" to the admiring
minister. He held her in his arms as
the cold Atlantic wave STRUCK her vel
vety skin, no doubt she clung to him
with hope, if net with tenderness.
Then it was that She looked beautiful.
Then it was that the radiant "coiored
lady" won the admiration Of The rev.
erend gentleman. The impression
was so strong that it survived the
shock Of time, and 50 iudeIIibiy stamp
ed his memory, that he makes it the
subject of a sermon, long years after
wards. An admiring throng Of refined
white people, of old men aud young
maidens-a are treated to the merits of
beautiful black wench, as something
exceeding ali ordinary human excel
Ieuce. The object Of this kind of ne
gro preaching, is to educate the people
in the political doctrines of the Mon
greI party. Hardly prayer is now
offered, or sermon preached, in which
some adlniring reference is not made
to the negro. His name is oftener
spoken in the pulpit than the name Of
Jesus Christ, and the ribald iniideI is
less condemned than the doubter in
the especial excellence of the negro.
Such vile political sinks are these ne
gro-worshipping pulpits.-N. Y. Day

4 Nut FOR LTTZ.

The Radical speakers and uewspa-
pers boasted throughout the late can
ass that the poor man paid no taxes,
but that the burdens Of the government
fell only upon the shoulders of the
rich, who were able to bear them. No
one persisted more in this mendacious
doctrine than the editor Of the LagUir-
e.. On several occasions we exposed
this fallacy through the columns of the
GAZETTE. We kneW-aS well a5 ev-
cry intelligent man in the country
knows-that we were right, and that
the Radical cry that the poor man paid
no taxes was but AN electioneering
dodge. For the benefit Of the would
be poor mans friend" we commend
the following to the philosopher OF he
Inquirer.
At Richmond, Virginia, on Tuesday
last, Mr.. Chase, in his charge to tie
Grand Jury Of the District Court said
1--WE admonish you, gentlemen, to
exercise your utmost vigilance on the
subject. Frauds in revenue are an evil
which the whole land cries out upon.
and frauds upon the revenue are frauds
upon the whole body of taxpayers. and

1t is thus seen that Chief Justice
Chase takes the same views OF the OPP
preston Of the present system OF taxa
tion, brought about by the ''rings" and
the monied aristocracy Of the country,
as the Democratic party holds on this
subject. These combinations are pow
erful, and can, nay, have already shift

a NEGRO 0FFICE-HoLDER.

1t seems that Gov. Geary has deter
mined not only to carry the load
which his Deputy Secretary of the
Commonwealth, Cara, laid upon his
shoulders in his letter to the recent Af-
rican convention in Harrisburg, but to
weight himself even more heavily by
issuing a commission of Office to a ne
gro, in defiance of the constitution
which he is sworn to support.
One Peter Smith, az Atrican, hos re-
Gently been commissioned 55, the Gorer-
nor, as q constable, or policeman, for the
tolca Of LeJeasteia, SchuyihW county.
The Governor, by this action, has set
at naught the constitution Of PenusyI-
vania, which, as every one knows,
does not recognize the negro as quail
fed either to vote or hold Office. He
has deliberately broken his solemn
oath to maintain that constitution, as
well as insulted every white man in
the state, by issuing this commission.
Doubtless, the Governor imagines that
the course he has seen fit to pursue,
will recommend him to the radical
party for denomination. But we are
much mistaken if there be not men,
even in that party, to whom such a
bid for the favor Of the ultra radicals
will bring nothing but disgust. Per
haps the Governor will find out, some
day, that the white men of Pennsylva-
MIA are not, after all, so very anxious
to take the negro into political partner
ship. If the coming legislature dare
to cheat the people out of the right to
settle the suffrage question for them
selves, the Governor will learn, to his
hearts content, what it is to stand up
on a Negro Suffrage Platform in the
Keystone state.

ANOTHER TENNESSEE HOEROR-
BWchery Of an Entire Fdmiy.-A lit
tie over week ago a frightfuI tragedy
was enacted in Fentress county, Ten
nessee, near the Kentucky line There
lived in that section family composed
Of an Old lady, some eighty years Of
of age, and her three grandchildren
one a young lady, another a boy Of
twelve and the third a small girl IN
the neighborhood was a man named
L0gsdOn, ilI-iavOred of face and Of lit

cOgniZant Of the fact that the Old lady
had in her possession considerable a.
mount Of money, the back pay of her
dead son, who had been a soldier, and
he resolved to secure it at all hazards.
Proceeding one night TO the house she
occupied, Logsdon, with knife and re-
volver, murdered the granddaughter,
and left the boy for dead also. All the
money he found, however, was $50,
and with this he fed. The boy, who
fortunately survived, next day told the
tale of the bloody work Of the night,
and the sheriff of Fentress county, as
soon as he could be enotifed, started i'm
mediateIy in pursuit Of the murderer
with warrant. lie passed through
Clinton county, in this State, where he
was joined by the sheriffof Clinton, and
together the two sherilfs made their
way to Hustonville, Lincoln comfy.
Here they captured the murderer at
the house of his father, even aefore ne
had changed his clothing he wore when
he committed the terrible crime, and
which bore the bIood-stains of the cru
ei murder.-LOuisUiHe Courier.
