The following from the Buffalo Express
Washington Correspondence, (Gen. Conway,)
will be interesting to our readers:
THE CONDITION OF THE SOUTH.
Reports come up from all parts of the South
of greater attention to politics than to wasted
fields and public schools. Southern men who
have been comparatively quiet since the re-
bellion, are again putting on their war paint.
AS politicians, the ante-bellum statesmen Of
the South have become fools. They had
better give heed to their empty barns, their
ragged, starving poor, their need of schools
and school-houses, and their easiest way to
the last resting place. In the preparation
for political campaign this fall the cotton
is neglected, the rice and sugar crops hid fair
to be the smallest since the war, and the re-
suit likely to follow is that Congress will be
again asked to make other large appropria-
tions "for our starving brethren in the South
ern States.'' -.
1.-THE WHITE LEAGUE

member, the knights" were formerly SKu.

men whose heels stamped to death the Rev.
Mr.. Horton, for praying in the convention of
'64, and whose hands butchered DIR. Dostie
during the same convention, and who drove
away Durant, Homer, Flanders, Hahn, and
many Others, are now "The White League ;"
The Government knows all about this new
rebellion in Louisiana. New rebellion This

The colored people here and in the South
generally think they have been badly treated
as regards the civil rights bill, and they are
loud and earnest in their blame of the Presi-
dent for advocating the bill in his last mes
sage and of opposing it with all his personal
influence afterwards. They say that if he
is candidate third time he will promise his
support of the civil rights bill, provided that
they will give him their seven hundred thous.
and votes, but that they will tell him,
"Come down with the bill first pay in adj
vance, Mr.. President ~
The passage of the bill next winter is quite
certain, and of the Presidents approval of it
there can be no doubt whatever, though be
prefers that it should not pass. This much
he has said to Hon. Mr.. Lynch, colored
member from Mississippi. How will Kemper
and Mosby talk now in the face of this to-
formation Pr Conmay.

ESCAPE FROM THE PENITEyTTARY.

jeremiah Calden, jr., made a bold escape
from the PententiaIy Blaciwelrs Island Satur-
day. He sentenced 10 years imprisonment on
Sept "a 1873 for assault, by Judge Sutherland in the
Court OF General Sessions. IL has been customary for
the Warden to detail the prisoners whose time has nearly
expired for work out Of doors They not watched
closely the others and thus greater opportunity is
offered for escape Most Of the escapes strange
il may SEEM are by men whose time has nearly ex-
pred. The record shows where the prisoner had
only nine days serve and he the risk OF a
tence OF two years breaking Jail. The record also
that nearly twOhTds OF tne escaped PRISONERS
Tccaptured.
Calden went to dinner usual on Saturday. After
dinner he went TO the stable 10 get his horse. ana
more. Search was made between l and 2
o'clock, and Cadens hat aud shirt found upon the
AlmshOuse steps, on the west side. IL inferred
therefore. that he threw of his hat and shirt, and
pluu,ng into the river, swan across TO the NewY0rk
shore. The alarm sent TO the Police Central ONCE
and thence TO ali the pOlicestatlUns. Warden LscOmO
reported the escape once 10 the Commissioners Of
Charities and Correction and every effort will be
TO recapture the prisoner. The prisoners during the
last month OF their confinement are permitted to let
their HAIR and beard grow This materially assists their
chances OF not being recognized by the police.
