Gazaway B. Lamar, the venerable rebel
who died in New York on Monday, the 9th
instant, was a characteristic specimen Of the
fire eating school, of which William L. Yam.
cey and "Bob' Toombs were members. AT
the time of the secession of South Carolina,
in November, 1860, he held the office of pres
ident of the Bank of the Republic, in Wall
street, and occupied the time between that
event and the bombardment of Fort Sumter
in shipping arms and ammunition to his fell
low traitors in the South. He also negotiated
the printing of the rebel bonds and currency
by certain New York houses, and in other
ways aided the rising Confederacy to the ex-
tent of his means. During the rebellion he
resided in Savannah, where he largely en-
gagged in cotton speculations and blockade
running At the close Of the war he was ar
rested, fined, and sentenced to several years
imprisonment, the latter part of which SEN
tence was afterward RENTED by President
johnson. Lamar, in a recent suit against the
Government, in which lie employed General
Butler as his counsel, recovered over $780,
600 by cotton illegally destroyed during the
war He was at one time owner of the yacht
Wanderer, and largely interested lin the At
rican slave trade. His son, Col Charles A..
Lamar was killed in the military service of
the rebellion. Mr.. Lamar, ST., at the time
Of his death, was in his seventy seventh year.

that they travelled slowly until they reached

Senator Anthony of Rhode Island is one
of the most sensible and candid of the
members of the United States Senate. A
recent member of hi paper, the Provi'
dence Journal, speaks editorially as fol-
lows of Louisiana matters.
Everything that comes to us from Lou
isiana shows that the setteled purpose OF
the men who style themselves "Conserv-
atiyes," and whose conservative disposi-
ton was manifested by the rebellion which
they inaugurated and carried on, is to
keep the cmancipated race from taking
any part in the government. Every thing
shows that the outbreak of violence, few
weeks since, was because the rieters APP
pretended an honest election, and that it
wonld result in Republican victory.
They fixed their own terms of comprom-
Use, and when these have been acceded to,
they repudiate the contract. They MAIN
tain an armed organization, they mean to
use it for intimidation, and, if necessary,
for actual violence. 1t is rebellion over
again, or rather it is the continuing rebel
lion, which has not been interrupted except
when the strong hand of the government
has been upon it, and which, when that
hand is withdrawn, rises elastic to the
force of treason.
1t is natural that the people of Louisiana
should dislike the new class of voters
whose enfranchisement the rebellion made
necessary. But it was necessary, in the
Judgment of those who had overthrown
the rebellion, and the men who made 1t
necessary are not the men to complain of
it. Their conduct now furnishes abundant
evidence, if any were needed, that the en-
reimbursement was absolutely necessary,
In order to secure the just results of the
victory which had been achieved for the
Union at so great sacrifice. The men who
have formed themselves into the White
Leagues for the purpose OF obtaining po-
litical power by other measures than the
exercise of political rights, have shown
their unfitness for republican government.

pies of free institutions or their contempt
for them. There will be no peace, there

Senator Thurman declares that the state
ment so frequently made, and generally be-
lieved, that the wealth of the country is pass
ing into the hands of few, is mistake. In
his address before the Maryland Agricultural

tics to the contrary, showing that the increase
Of farms is greater than that of population,
and the increase of small farms is greater
than that of large ones. These are impor-

The Washington Chronicle says a Unit
ed States district attorney from one OF the
Southern States, who was in Kansas dur
ing the troubles of 1867, and an OIL
Ger in the Union army during the rebel
lion, at present in Washington, states that
the rebel feeling is more decidedly prom
inent and obnoxious at the present time
in the Southwestern States than at any
period previous to and during the rebel
lion. The plans of the leaders have been
modified somewhat of late. They propose
to drive out or murder the leading Repub-
licans throughout the South, being conf
dent that they can control the negro vote
by intimidation. This plan is shown in
the recent speeches and dispatches sent
from the South, wherein the rebels boast
that they do not make war upon the ne
gro, but upon white men of Northern birth
who have settled in the South.
