Two weeks ago we selected from aEletter
TO the COluicT-JOundl on Jas. Z. Muir
dOch, the great tragedian, and his style and
his school of elocution, an extract concern
ing Miss Jeanie Patterson, who has been
studying for the past ten months under Mr..
Murdoch. She will soon Teappear before
the public, and those who were de-
lighted, charmed with her natural
power, will find added to them culture
Of voice under the greatest elocutiOnist Of
this day. Miss Patterson is a Southern
LADY by birth. by character, in her man
neIS- and her social position. She moves
in ae best circles everywhere and she adds
luster to auy5 circle she NAV enter.
She was one of those who felt
the necessity for using the talents
God had given her not only for her
self but Tor her family. She has been sue
cessful. With rare beauty, and grace of
manner, which is perfectly resistible, she
has wonderful powers of understanding
and representing the meaning of the All
thor from whom she reads. She has avery
fine taste-the taste of true artist which
never errs.
With Orfy the cultivation she had ac-
quired she was capable of charming an au-
dience; those who saw her at Murdoch,
Ohio, say she is wonderfully improved Un-
der Mr.. Murdo6l's careful training. We
learn thai she yS5ll begin her Southern tour
here sometime in October. She has gone
to the trouble and expense of preparing to
entertain the public with an intellectual
treat, and at the same time to labor for her
self and her family.

IT would seem that nothing less than
the intermaTriage of blacks and whites
will satisfy the Radicals of Alabama,
judging by the following argumenta-
tive editorial which appears in the Sci
ma National Republican of the Goth in.
slant:
81. The statute prohibiting the In
termarriage of blacks and whites is In
operative if it conflicts with the Con-
stitution or any valid law Of Congress.
2. The Civil Rights bill of April 8,
1866 makes the colored people citizens
and declares that they shall have the
same right in every State and Terri
tory of the United States to make and
enforce contracts, etc, as is enjoyed by
white citizens, any law, statute, ETC.,
to the contrary Notwithstanding 3.
As, in view of the law, marriage is
a civil contract, no. more nor less, it
can be entered into without regard 20
race or color. If this is not so, then
the Alabama Legislature can make a
law forbidding white person to sell
land 70 black person, and as all of
the land in the Slate belongs to the
white people, the colored people could
not by possibility at any time under
such a law get foot of it. Perhaps
the Governors Watts anxiety for
the success Of the Democracy is to get
such Law passed"
With such preachments to the ne
groes, and Misrepresentation, from a
Radical organ supported mainly by
government adycrtizing, what are We
to think Of the chicanery that lodged
civil rights in the platform? 1t is on
par with that of their Tennessee
brethren.

the notes of our Photographic re-

As reported by the Banner, Governor

Of which Mr.. Maynard was not slow to
