Menaeing Attitude of the Negroes
The white People Taking Refuge IH
the City.
The city continued in a state of great
excitement during yesterday. The organ
lied citizens and police guarded the head
of the Ogeechee road during Tuesday
plight, while armed patrols marched
through the streets Of the city at frequent
intervals.
Yesterday the people were further great.
ly excited by the reports and rumors which
were circulated freely. White men pre-
pared to spend another night in the field.
The cOlored people were very quiet, but
some of their most prominent men de-
Clared that the trouble was not all over
yet.
Last evening the rumors which had been
so freely circulated received authentic con-
frmation. A lady, Mrs. Crawford, resid-
ing six miles out on the Ogeechee road.
came in and said that the negroes we're
massing on the road fully and completely
armed. She feared for her life and fled to
the city. Mr.. John Sloan, a butcher ia the
market, who resides out in the country,
started home by way Of the Ogeeehee road
He was met BY a negro and ordered back,
Two men who came in from the country
over the same road, stated that they passed
about two hundred armed negroes 4 few
miles from town who stopped them, and
asked for sugar cane, and said that they
were coming IN town last night.
On the Louisville road the negroes
heavily armed, were seen coming from the
city, and from all directions about the
country, and massing on Weiter's plania-
ton. They stated that they were going 10
organize and march across, and escort
"Mr. Bradley into the city,
A citizen from that direction came into
the city, having deserted his home IS IN
safe. Other parties who attempted to go
out on the two rOads mentioned above,
we're stopped and turned back. There was
no doubt but that a heavy force of armed
negroes wss assembled IN that section,
and that Bradley was with them.
Two negro women, last evening, brought
10 May or Anderson a letter from Bradley,
in which he stated that his life was threat
ened, and be claimed the protection OF
the civil authorities. The reports Of his
having been in the city we're incorrect
bnt his effects we're novel from the house,
at the corner of BroughtOn and Lincoln
streets.
Last evening the streets we're filed with
citizens who were in readiness to Be
called upon in case Of necessity. A heavy
force Of armed citizens were sent Cut to
watch the Ogeechee and Louisville roads,
who remained there until halfPast eleven
o'clock, when they were relieved BY the
police. Up to the hour Of writing 10
trouble has occurred. Citizens were OF
the alert all night long, ready for any
alarm.-.SdruHnGh Nelrs, November ).

COMMERCIAL LAW.
What Constitutes Delivery.


As the question of what constitutes the
delivery of goods from a vessel has long
been the subject of controversy between
ship owners and consignees of cargoes, and
has led to an endless repetition of litigation,
a recent decision of Judge Blatchford, Of
the United States District Court of New
York, in an action against the steamer
Santee, to recover for a short delivery of
cotton in 1866, is of special interest to the
commercial community. 1t appears that
one hundred and forty-two bales of cotton
we're shipped from Mobile by the steamer
Santee, to Sawyer, Wallace & Co., Of this
city, for which the customary bills of land
ing, containing the following clause,
were issued: ut is expressly under
stood that the articles named in this
bill of landing shall be at the risk
of the owner, shipper or consignee thereof,
as soon az delivered from the tackles of the
steamer at her port of destination (the col
lector of the port being hereby authorized
to grant general order of discharge i'm
mediately after the entry of the ship and
they shall be received either at New York
or Brooklyn, by the consignee thereof,
package by package, and so delivered, and,
if not taken away the same day by him,
they may lat the option of the steamers
agents. be sent TO store, or permitted to
Law where landed at the expense and risk
of the aforesaid owner, shipper or con-
sienee." Besides this cotton, the steamer
had SOS bales for other Consignees. On
the discharge of the vessel, only l29 of the
f42 bales, specified in the aforementioned
bills of lading, were found to correspond
with the marks and numbers; whereupOn
SAWYER, Wallace & Co. brought an action
to recover $4,000, the alleged value of the
missing thirteen bales of cotton, on the
GROUND that the mode of delivery was iT-
regular, or contrary to usage.
The pith of the argument Of Judge
BIatchford, in summing up, Is shown in
the following comprehensive extract: The
general law IN the case of &C ordinary bill
Of lading, containing merely the usual
clause for delivery to the coDsignee at the
port named, is we'll established, that de-
livery on the wharf the goods transported
BY the vessel is sufficient, provided due
notice be given to the consignee, and pro-
| vided, also, the different consiSnments are
properly separated, so as to be open to in
| spection by their respective owners, and a
| fair opportunity is afforded to the consiguee
to remove his goods; but that the carrier
is responsible for the value of the goods if
he dilivers them TO the wrong person,
even though by mistake or imposition"
After demonstrating conclusively that
the contract was plain one, that the libel
ants had it entirely in their power to COM
ply with its terms, by staiioning a
proper person to watch for their cotton as
il left the tackles of the vessel for the
wharf, supporting his position by copious
quotations from analogous decisions, the
! Judge dismissed the libel with costs.

of the Southern States. The British Mir.
istry, not accediug to the last proposition
MIR. Seward now valves it, but declines
any sort of arbitration, saying that the ap'
pointment by England aud the United
States OF a joint commission would be
equivalent TO an acknowledgment of her
wrong-doing toward the United States, in
recognizing the belligerency of the South,
and that there is no necessity for an arbi-
tration previous 10 the superintendent of

The stringent condition of the money
market in New York continues to furnish
the subject for much speculation in fuan-
cial circles here. Your correspondent had
an interview with Secretary McCulloch this
morning in order to ascertain what course
The Treasury department would pursue.
Mr.. McCulloch expressed in strong
language his determination to break up
these movements which tend TO bring about
a financial crisis as to controlling the cur
rency, he was clearly of the opinion that
he had the necessary power to reissue
legal tenders to the amount on hand I'M
cancelled. The law restricted him as TO
the amount he could retire, but did not
forbid any reissue. AT present he be-
lieyed there was was no occasion for put
ting out the legal tenders on the market.

voice cried, "Where are your" He
answered back, You arc foolish

Now little George became very an
CRY, and still harder he began to shout
nicknames into the woods, all of which
were echoed very faithfully back
again. Then he ran into the woods,
and sought all through it for the sup
posed boy, but he could find nobody.
George ran home, and complained to
his mother how bad boy had conceal

"This time, my dear little boy, you

The "Yes-But" Generation.

Bishop McTyeire found some of
them in Texas-he writes:
The discomfort of many of the In
habitants is profound, and would be
strongly against the country, if one
did not consider the underlying cause.
With certain persons, in the absence of
some one good-nothing is good. One
pines for an apple orchard; his wife
can't have any preserves, as she used
to- Another cannot forget the conve-
nience of Hghtwood knots and spring
water, and longs for Carolina sand
bank, where lie can make five or six
bushels of nuhbin corn per acre. Some
have more considerable objections.
Here is the substance of a converse
ton with well-to-do person:
"This is great country you live in y
said I.
Eyes, but it's so far to town or any
where's" was the reply.
"You have fine roads; l never saw
their equal"
eyes, but it's terrible travelling
when it rains"
81 never saw better beef than yours"
ayes, but people don't want to eat
nothing but beef"
"Such delightful climate-your
health is good"
Eyes, but the Northers are awful on
the Constitution"
"Your land is rich; it produces so
abundantly.'
eyes, bnt the grasshoppers have eat
up my green's patch
"Your hogs will fatten on grass
hoppers."
Eyes, but it worries 'em to death to
catch the things
"Your chickens are lively-they can
catch EN-"
Eyes, but it makes their meat taste,
so they say"
By this time there was twinkle OF
humor ia the turn things had taken,
and l took leave-"Good-by, my in.
consolable friend-may you come to a
more cheerful mind-good-by, till we
meet again"
Eyes, but we may never meet again
in this world"
And rather hope we won't Deliv'
er mo from the yes but generation-a
people who love to be miserable, and
who take pleasure in taking the Other
side against Providence.
