movement will be so rapid as to result In a
damaging reaction. At any rate, the occu-
patton of Greenbackers aud iniiatiohists is
gone, or nearly so.-The Gazette quotes
General Stewart L. w, odford, recently
returned from Mississippi, and SAYS: His
further remarks show that this majority
of the whites thought the killing of Judge
Chisholm thing proper to be done. But
this great majority of the white men is the
| ruling class in the South. Abundance evil
| dence, says the Gazette, shows that this is
the state of the greater part of the South.
The redemption of Congress and the secur-
ing of the Executive for another term will
| again turn these Confederate leaders to pro-
testing that they have accepted the results of
the war, and to professions uf their anxiety
that all classes and colors, and parties,
shall have free speech and free elections.
| And it will so weaken their reign of force
that the majority will venture to assert
itself. Thus the only way to restore peace
and free government to the people of the
South is by the union of the people of the
North.-The Gazette discussing the pro-
ceedings of the Methodist Minister'S Meet

ing the result of their deliberations at
some length, epitomizes the subject by say

sides the reasons touched upon by the Chi
cago preachers, but we suppose that the
proper conclusion is that all this objection
will disappear with the enlightenment and
changed manners which will come through
woman's equality and woman's call to
preach.
| The Commercial says the Secretary of the
Treasury finds that an old law forbids the
redemption OF greenbacks at any other
place than New York, therefore the Secre-
tary proposes to pay out coin literally, and
has issued circular explaining his meth
DDS and policy. But, says the Commercial,
the g1at difficulty in the way of specie
/ circuation-that is. the actual use of gold
and silver as money by The people
is TIE presence of small notes, and the abb
sence of full supply of small gold. How
can we exnect the people t., use gold habit
ually, when: 1. We allow the channels of
circulation to he choked by trade dollars, Il
disavowed and snperlluous coin. 2. We
coin gold in twentydoiar pieces, bit
of bullion too large for common CON
venience, though quite suitable n stack
ing up in reserves. g. We are at pains to
keep alloat great quantity of one, two and
five dollar notes. 4. Wecharge fer postal
order an average of eleven cents, when the
business could be done by the Government
without loss at an average of one cent Ter
order General Badger, of New Orleans says
he believes that Republican State officers
could be elected in Louisiana 'if the ne
groes were allowed to vote according to
their own option" OF course. That isun-
doubtedly the truth. 1t should not be
looked for. 1t need not be expected. The
shot gun will not be eliminated from
Southern politics and the negro permitted
to vote his sentiments until an over
whelming and irresistible majority of the
people of the country demand it by retain
ing possession of the Executive Department
of the Government and acquiring posses
sion of the lie islative Department, and are
in a position to enforce the demand.
