COMING SOUTH.

The Wilmington Del) Commercial
states that the extent to which the farm
ing communities in many of the North
ern States are moving to more genial
climates aud an easier titled soil, is very
great A real estate agent in Whining
ton, informs the editor of the Commercial
that " he now has on file applications and
inquiries from no less than three hun
bred nqfflea in reference to lands for sale
on thesPe8ihsula. They write from all
the New England States, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and States further
West, while one gentleman writes from
Tennessee" The editor adds that most
of the parties desire a less severe climate,
with shorter winters. The climate could
have had nothing to do with influencing
the citizen Of Tennessee to desire to
change his location. The miserable bur.
lesqGe on republican government which
the Radical party have given us, Is the
moving cause in his case. But this is
not the operating cause with the citizens
Of the Northern and Eastern States 1t
is the productive soil and pleasant cli-
mate Of the South that invite the men Of
those sections to locate among us The
men who come down from the North to
buy lands and cultivate them, are gener.
orally Of the better class of citizens, and
will prove valuable accessions to our Pop
ulation.
It's estimated that one-fourth Of the
lands in the Southern States is in the
market Much Of this land is unsur
passed in richness Of soil, and will yield
the husbandman an abundant return for
his labor provided that labor be directed
to the cultivation Of almost anything but
cotton The war which the Radicals
have made upon the white people Of the
South, since the termination Of the strug
gle in the Geld, seems to have eTectually
destroyed that branch Of industry in this
section. The future prosperity Of the
South now lies in the establishment Of
manufactures Of every description and
the cultivation Of large provision crops.
Let those who buy lands and settle in the
South understand this, and there will be
no disappointed hopes to make them dis
satisfied with the investments they may
make. The movement on the subject Of
immigration, whether from the North or
from Europe, has the sympathies of all
classes of our white population. The
Richmond Whig pithily says the con-
viction Of every rejecting man is that
the only efficient and permanent remedy
for the political, social and industrial
evils from which we are now suffering is
to be found in immigration The South

WAsHINaroN, Jan. 1O.-The President
to-day sent 10 The Senate and House Of
Representatives the following message
A Spanish steamer named Niistra Lenora
DeLaregia being in the harbor of Port
ROYAL, S. c., on the lst of December, 1861,
and Brigadier General w. T. Sherman,
commanding the United States forces there
having received information which he sup
posed justified him in seizing her, as she
was from Charleston to Havana with in
surgent correspondence, the seizure was
accordingly made, and during the ensuing
spring the vessel was sent 10 New York with
an order that the legality of the seizure be
tried. By decree Of Judge Bets in 1868
the vessel was 10 be restored. and by a
subsequent decree, on the 18th Of October,
1863 he referred the adjustment Of the
damages TO the amicable negotiation be-
tween two gentlemen. While the proceeds
ing in admiralty were pending, the vessel
was appraised and taken by the Navy De
partment at the valuation of twenty
eight thousand dollars, which sum that
department paid into the treasury as an
amount of valuation, cannot legally be
drawn from the treasury without the au-
thority from Congress. recommend that
an appropriation for that purpose, and
propose to appoint commissioner on the
part of the government to adjust the case
with the commissioner on the part of Spain
and settle the question Of damages, the
commissioners naming an article from
points on which they may disagree. When
the amount of damages shall he ascer-
tanned, an application should be made to
Congress for a further appropriation to-
wards paying them. (Signed)
ANDREW JOHNSON.

an IMPORTANT CASE.

We extract from the Knoxville Pres
and Herald the following account of the
proceedings in the United States Court, at
Knoxville, relative 10 very important
test case:
In the United States Court, on Wednes-
day, the Hon. c. +. Trigg, presiding, ap-
plication was made in accordance with the
notice served upon the members of both the
City Boards, on Monday, for an injunction
to prevent the old board from giving up
their Offices, and the new one from taking
their seats. Col. John Baxter, after few
preliminary remarks, read the bill. Col.
Baxter then supported the application of
Mr.. Cameron in brief but logical and
convincing argument; showing that from
the statutes of Tennessee, that the Commits
sioner of Registration had no power pyimd-
rily to appoint the judges and clerks of the
election, although there was no doubt that
the Legislature had intended to give him
that power. The election was also void
because the third franchise act was uncon-
stitutional the Legislature having ex-
hausted its power with the second act,
which had been decided valid by the SUI
preme Court He showed in a strong light
the unconstitutionality of the laws in rela-
tion to DISTINGUISHING whole counties by
proclamation of the Governor or
a legislative enactment Conceding
that a majority Of the people of State
might be voters, and still il preserves a re-
publican form of government, be held that
no government could be republican in
which the rights Of the people we're depen-
dent on the will of the Executive. He
alluded to the evils Of an illegal city Cow
eminent as illustrated at Nashville and
Chattanooga, and urged from this that the
plaintiff had such pecuniary interest in
the matter as entitled him to relief from
court Of equity.
Mr. Logan made short argument for
the new board, advancing the proposition
that any Legislature had the right TO define
the qualifications for the franchise, and de-
nying that the plaintiff in this case had
such an interest in the corporation as enti-
tied him 10 relief.
Mr.. Washburn, his colleague, obtained
permission TO prepare and tile brief, and
made no argument to the court.
Col- Nelson, on behalf Of the old board,
made 40 eloquent denunciation Of the un-
constitutionalities of the system Of govern
ment 10 Tennessee, and pronounced a
thrilling encomium upon the Judges Of the
Supreme Cour. for their decision in the test
oath cases, which be claimed covered the
franchise law Of this State.

REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY,

TheNew York Commercial AdUertiser,
(Republican) gives its testimony to the
fact that the leading idea of Radicals
ism. amid the ruin, restitution, and star
walton that is acknowledged, is that,
through universal negro suffrage, ten an"
represented States mast be brought
back in time to cote for the Radical cam
didate for President This, let it be re-
membered, is the key to the whole Radi-
cal programme of reconstruction. All
there is of distress and anarchy, ruin
and starvation, results from determine.

ATLANTA, Jan. 10.-In the convention
to-day, an ordinance was introduced limit
ing the operations Of the relief ordinance
adopted by the convention in December,
to cases prior to the LIST of June 1865.
A letter was received from Senator Shers
man to delegate, saying that the conven-
ton should have no fears, but 90 ahead,
and if additional legislation is needed,
state what it is, and it will be furnished.
Gen. Meade addressed the convention.
He said he was sent to administer the re-
construction acts, which were the law
until decided otherwise by competent
authority, and he should do so
faithfully, for the best interests of
the people, az he understood them; he
said it was popular impression that he
was bound TO enforce the legislation of the
convention, but prior to the adoption of
the new constitution, such legislation was
not valid, and the laws give him dissents
ing power, and he might enforce some
measure, especially any well digeste
scheme of relief.
Ex-Governor Brown addressed larg
audience last night, advocating recon
struction acts, which he said gave the ne.
groes suffrage but not the right to vote /;
he defended Gen. Pope and his admins,
tration, and argued in favor of relief to
State banks.
