foolscap to designate a certain

Of the finest sort was the Royal
Arms Of England. The consump-
tion of this article was very great
at this time, and large fortunes
were made by those who had pur-
chased the exclusive right to vcnd
it. This among other menopolics,
was set aside by the parliament
that brought Charles I. to the
scafTold and by way Of showing
their contempt for the king, they
ordered the royal arms taken
from the paper, and fool with
his cap and bells to be;substituted.
1t is now over two, hundred years

Alexander H. Stevens Views
Of affairs in the South.

-
Alexander Fl. Stevens, says a
dispatch teFthe New York Herald,
in Conversation with a friend who
saw him recently in Philadelphia,
took very Respondent view Of
affairs in the South. He pronoun-
: eed the future before that section
of the country fraught with gloom,
sad disaster, and can see nothing
in the policy of reconstruction
= but the operation of a fearful
scheme, whose ultimate result
will be the destruction of either
the: black or the white race Eye
Try day. Essays, it becomes more
painfully evident that that es-
~ trangement between the races is
wiaening.on-the part Of the ne
groes from the effects of s"ch in
struction as teaches them to dis
trust and oppose the whites, and
,onEthe part Of the latter from an
= abborrence Of the negro leaders,
,and an instructive aversion to be
ruled and iegislated for. by igno-
renee and semi -barbarism. From
whatfeh under his own observa-
tioain Georgia, he was, unable to
detect anything like a spirit on
either side tending to mutual
sympathy of sentiment and inter-
est. Radical emissaries from the
North have sown the seeds Of evil
dissensions with q terrible earnest
ness, and the diametric opposition
ofthe races now visible all over
the South must, in the very. na-
tare of things lead, at some time
ors~ather, to fearful collisions.
This inevitable result, Mr.. StepA-
ems declares, as dispassionate OBJ
server, forces itself irresistibly Oh

desired BY some, and .indifferently
