Mr.. EDITOR:
tits but few days since, in brief
communication addressed to you, I
expressed myself relative to the want
of candor in our community. l now
beg leave to direct your attention and
that of your readers to the important
signs Of the times. In my belief we
are approaching point where Or
binary human means will no longer
avail, and deliveranoe is not to be ex-
pected from man. If confirmation
were wanted, that belief is most de-
cidedly confirmed by the daily prog
ress of events.
/ alude to the process of coalition
begun among the heads of deSpotiSn,,
which has been followed by every
species Of tyranny than have ever
before, existed. I can discern signs,
some Of them at our own doors,
that various agencies are being stir
red up to operate in aid of the un-
holy union of despotism and tyranny.
/ can not presume to foretell what
these despots viii be permitted to do;
but I can easily foresee what they will
endeavor to do. So surely as every
genuine lover of liberty and equal
rights strives to extend to others the
civil and religious liberties he so
highly values for himself, 50 surely
will these powers of darkness labor in
the opposite direction, opposing Free
dom of inquiry and limb, muzzling
the press wherever it is possible,
stopping so far as they can the prog
ress of all associations which have the
elevation Of the lower classes for their
object; undermining wherever they
can the bulwarks Of liberty, thwarting
and, where possible, paralyzing the
action Of the national government.
1t is easy to talk Of trump Congress, .
mendicant lOyalists," " carpet-bag-
gers" and "scalaaags;" but he must

is not well aware that the present up
heaving Of the masses throughout the
States proceeds from far more weighty
causes than the selfish agitation 81
demagogues, morbid craving for nOY-
city, or aEanton desire to overthrow

cause they are established. There Is

Bingham and Butler.

The most unfair and brutal prosecution
ever witnessed in this country was that Of
the unfortunate Mrs. SURRATT. BINGHAM
was the prosecutor, and it was quite fitting
that he should be the organ of the Radical
malice towards poor little WINNIE REAM
BUTLER once charged BINGHAM with having
hung an innocent woman! The charge was
one Of spite. BUTLER could not conceal his
hate for man whose inhumanity exceeded
his own! Even this hate, however, could
not restrain him from combining with
BINGHAM when so delicate and tempting o
victim of fendishness as Miss REAM was
brought forward. So he wed with BING-
HAM in the exhibition of all the demoniacal
passions, and absolutely surpassed him in
his malignant and ferocious Juggling and
tearing OF the victim after BINGHAM had
settled her fate. ~
Cruelty and brutality to women and
children is the worst form Of earthly dia-
bolism. The rancor and ferocity of Radi-
calism has been illumined with this sort Of
ultra-infernal wickedness, and therefore
may be said to have filled completely the
measure of wrath that is to be. We shall
see yet what will become Of the women
prosecutors.

National Finances.

The expenditures of the Federal Govern
ment for the year ending June 80 proximo
are reckoned at s43s, s45, 419-an excess
over those for the year preceding OF more
than 100000. This is wonderful ex-
travagance in q time of peace, and can
only be accounted for in, the wasteful dls-
bursements for the benefit of the hadical
party-the pensions, the bureau, the mill,
tary occupation Of the South. No wonder
Radical leaders are calling for economy and
retrenchment, and that Immediately, in
order that they may be relieved of the
heavy burthen and opprobrium of loading
the people with taxes for party purposes at
the ensuing Presidential election. The
New York Tribune demanded that the Blu
reau be abolished. But we suspect that
that nefarious machine is too valuable to
Radicalism to be dispensed with at the
present time. Congress is already hatch
ing bill for the extension Of its existence
twelve months longer.

WAsHrNaToN, June 8, 1868.

WASHINGTON, June 8, 1868.
The citizens of Washington are justly IN
dipnant at the conduct of o multitude of
riotous and vicious negroes in their midst,
who seem to be clothed with perfect immu
nity from. the consequences of their evil
deeds. Since the municipal election, a per-
feet reign Of terror seems to. have been in
aucurated. and to such an extent have the
apprehensions Of further serious difficulties
become, that both the civil and military
authorities have been appealed to-. The
1awless character Of the negroes has but
very few apologists among the citizens Of
Washington who are Of the Radical persua-
sion, and will probably teach these lesson:
II this conduct is persisted in, there is bound
to be very serious trouble, and the city will
have to be placed under martial law.
The reception to-day by the President Of
the printers attending the National Typo
graphical Convention now in session here
was one very pleasing in its character, and
impressed the representatives Of the print
ers Of this country in q most favorable
manner. Mr.. Johnson did not allude to
political matters in the course of the re-
marks he made in response to the tender of
respects made to him, but in emphatic
terms testified his regard for the laboring
man and the mechanical professions.
Private dispatches from Oregon are pro-
vocative of very blue looks among the Radi-
coils. Several accounts from reliable sources
were received at the Executive Mansion to-
day referring to the triumph Of Conserva-
tism on the Pacific coast.
The ousting Of Representative Morgan, Of
Ohio, by the Radicals Of the House of Re-
representatives. came in as consistent sup
cement to the rejection of Mr.. Stanbery by
the Senate, and, like the latter, did not dis
appoint the expectations of Conservatives.
The public departments have all been
draped in mourning, and will be closed to-
morrow in respect to the memory of the late
ex-President Buchanan. General Grant
and the Secretary Of the Navy have issued
special orders requiring proper observance
of the day. Congress, however, has not adj
journed over.
Prominent Democrats here seem sangulne
that with proper organization and stern
fight there need be no fear of. defeat in the
approaching Presidential election. There
is considerable disafection among the Radl-
calls throughout the country, which is daily
becoming more evident. The President has
strong hopes of the complete triumph of Con-
sentative principles this fall. The position
of Chief Justice Chase in opposition to the
ultra schemes of the Radical party, and his
outspoken views on the subject of the de-
structiye consequences of that policy to the
nation, and to republican form of govern
ment, give the Radicals much uneasiness,
while it correspondingly strengthens the
hope of Conservatives. TIMoN.

and at the same time secure fair compen-
sation for their lands, to this subject, and
to advise them to look into it fully and I'M
partially before taking any definite action
in regard to them.
This land question has become such an
important one to the whole southern coun-
try that it would be well for the proprietors
to hold conventions, to have the subject
fully discussed, and to adopt the plan that
is likely to result in " the greatest good 10
the greatest number" Those interested IN
the prosperity of the Southside counties
and the city of Norfolk might meet at the
following places, as would be most conye-
nient and agreeable to them: Danv1lle,
Burkeville, Weldon, and Norfolk. Let
the clear-headed, honest-hearted farmers
of Virginia take hold of the subject in down
right earnest, and they will scarcely fail to
adopt some plan which will not only pro-
mote their own interest but prove of meal
culable advantage to the "old State" Let
the counties contiguous to the Richmond
and Danyille and the Southside roads take
the lead, and assemble at Burkeville at some
early day, and their example will doubtless
be followed by all the others.

A Face-tious Spite.

Four hundred citizens of Montgomery
county, Penn, have petitioned Congress to
order the faces of Judge CHASE and Mr..
Senator FEssENDEN to be taken off the
greenbacks, as punishment for their oppo-
sition to convicting the President. This is
the bitterest spite we ever heard of, and
must break the hearts of the victims unless
they are made of adamant.
Speaking Republican wise, to put living
mems faces on public papers is contrary to
the orthodox axiom of principles not
men," WASHINGTON objected to the placing
of his image and superscription . on the
Federal coin, and most wisely. He ap-
proved Of no such "man worship But,

Governor Eyre.
prosecutors


The British Radical negruphilists, like
the same class in this country, are ever
giving trouble. Since Governor EYRE, by
the, prompt exercise of his authority, sup
pressed ferocious negro insurrection in
Jamaica they have been trying in every
way to persecute him for alleged cruelty in
his measures, which probably saved the
shedding of much innocent blood. They
have gotten all manner of writs to arraign
him before all manner of tribunals. The
telegraph brings us from London the infor-
nation that their latest movement against
him has failed.
The negrophilists console themselves
with publishing quantity of testimony
against Governor EYRE. In this any
amount of energetic hanging and shooting
appeared. A party Of impromptu soldiers

tions to shoot any man who was ordered tc

This was q strong case. To kill the gentle
black Of the "magic flute" was a crime
nothing short of the hanging of EYRE could
expiate. But the unmusical, unsentimental
English jury were impervious to the touch
ing tale, with its gentle strain upon the
flute, and, brutes as they were, let the iend
EYRE go! There is no justice in this
world. The good negrophilists ought to
leave il.
