Et- Beast Butler made speech to

EE- Beast Butler made speech to the
negroes in Richmond on Monday last. :
He plastered them immensely with the
lnost fulsome praise. He acknowledged
that the NEGRO race had produced no Cae-
sar, Milton, Shakespeare or Newton" and
asked whether it is ''fair to ask them to
show their Shakespeare now ?" By no
means, Mr. Butler. They never will pro-
duce such character; they never can.
He told them that sit may be laid down
as rule that the man who tills the soil
should own it," that sin the South large
quantities of land are held by few men,"
and that if they would just be patient it
would come to them in very short time.
This he said els inevitable as soon as fair
play in Legislation takes place" Which,
being interpreted, means that Congress in
tends to ''legislate' the lands in the South
to the negroes who till them, just as he
appropriated to his private use the mevea-
BILE property of the Southern people dur
ing the war.
Butler advised tho negroes not to chang
around cities" but to ego to the country,
and there engage in the noblest work of
man." Very good advice; but the ne
groes will pay no attention to it. They
are too busily engage just nov in making
constitutions, overhauling our defective
laws, and patching up our dilapidated af-
fairs, to think about going to the country.
Sambo is too sharp to ''cngage in the no.
blest work of man." so long as he can
''hang around Cities and live without
work
Butler said he had 'heard of the organ
ization of immigration societies here" and
asked, in establishment, ''why do this
when there are SO many strong armed la
borers on every side 2" He thought it was
wrong in our landholders to prefer white
men to negroes for neighbors, and con-
temptuously said that "of all landholdors
the foreigners are the worst, the most gree
dy. and will be the first to sell their land
to negroes" If Butler and his radical
companions prefer the association of ne
groes to that Of respectable white men, we
have no objection; it may be more congo
aial to their degraded natures; but we do
object to bringing down the white men of
Virginia to their degraded standard.

''Members of Congress and others in
Washington are somewhat excited over a
rumor that the Supreme Court, at an early
day, will reverse it's decision of last spring
declaring that it had no jurisdiction re-
garding the legality of the reconstruction
laws of Congress- A new case, involving
the constitutionality of the reconstruction
acts Of Congress, is to be brought up in
the Supreme Court in a few days, and it
is asserted that the court will decide said
acts unconstitutional and all operations

will involve the State of Mississippi, and
the decision of the Court, it is said, will
be that Mississippi is legally in the Union,

SIDEWALKS. The sidewalks of this city are
proyerbially wretched. No city of its size on this
side Of the Atlantic Ocean has such irregular,
uneven and scraggy pavements as Alexandria.
In dry weather, without one pays more atten-
ton to his feet than to the pretty faces he meets
on the street, he vii! be always stumpiug his
toes against the lnnumerable projections
which rise above the general level; and during
and after rain, no matter how careful he may
be in Avoiding the visible pools of mud and wa
ter, be is certain to have his boots sp!ashed from
concealed reservoir, by treading upon loose
brick. There is corporation ordinance which
provides that property owners shall keep the
sidewalks in front Of their premises in good
condition, and the Superintendent of Police
will see that it is enforced.

on Saturday, everybody's business is money !;
and your own brother who enters your door,
has no other purpose than to collect something
from you. 1t is a magnificent arrangement OF

DARK STREETS. AT the request of the cap
tain of the Night Watch, it is stated that the
failure to light the street lamps for the last
few nights was no fault Of his or Of his men,
but was in consequence Of specific orders receiv-
ed from the Superintendent of Gas, who said
to him that it cost 50 per night to light the
city, and that that amount might as we'll be
saved, as taxes were already high enough
Capt. Smith is very anxious that the streets
should be lighted, as the scars on his person,
received from stumbling over the cutters and
against the platforms in the dark, plainly attest.
If the cost Of lighting Alexandria is only
50 night, it is the cheapest lighted city on
the continent, and should always be illunlnat-
ed whether the moon be shining Or not.
