rie,.Over one hundred leading man
uf•icturere from different! parts of

ing at the Astor House, N. Y., on the
Sth instant. It was resolved to coin
mete° a vigorous campaign in favor of
the protection of American Labor in
all parts of the United States..
IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE.—The Lancas
ter Inquirer, a thorough Republican
paper, says:
"Let the Republicans of Pennsylvania
in their approaching State Convention,
4'olllo out boldly and unreservedly in
favor of Impartial Suffrage as embod
ied in the Reconstruction bill, as sus
tained by the party in Congress, and
as advocated by all the loyal men of
the South.'-'
, We have no doubt this will bo the
issue the nest campaign. True, there
are many KopublicanS who would not
advise such a platform, but the more
"progressive" of the party fool that
they are inconsistent in voting any
thing less than an impartial suffrage
ticket; because their leaders have for
ced negro suffrage on the South.
The Right of Free Speech.
America is a nation blessed with tho
privilege of free speech; but we have
serious doubts whether the right of
free speech should bo exorcised to an
indiscriminate usage. We are unqual
ifiedly in favor of a man holding a dif
ferent opinion, and wo respect him if
ho reasons his position in a gentleman
ly and becoming manner. But there
are bounds 'to free speech, which we
consider 'eminently unsafe to over
reach. There is the angry ebullition
of sentiment, which, while it often re
suite in the creation of ill-feeling be
tween the disputants, always marks
the man as one who Cannot control his
temper, but allows it to carry him away
into undue excesses. There is also the
abusive freedom, which some make use
of, which brings into disrepute mon of
distinction, and which may be properly
called slander: This form of free speech
wo never like to listen to, and many
turn away in disgust from the speaker
making use of it.
But °Tall the improper kinds of frco
speech that may be mentioned, there is
ono in particular that wo have been
led to consider from two important
events that have recently trasspired—
aii of them in New York and the oth
er in Richmond. to the former city,
it appears that the laboring people
have been aroused to indignation by
sundry politicians in the interest of li
quor dealers, against the political au
thoritie,s fur executing the provisions of
the Excise Law, recentlipassed. So
indignant have tho ignorant masses
beCome (for wo believe that it is only
the ignorant that can be Otis influ
enced) that they are Organizing and
preparing for riots. The speakers in
addressing the people assembled use
the most hostile and bitter language,
and allude • to past riots in that city
with evident relish, as though they re
garded them as triumphs, and the nat
ural result is that the meetings have
been wild and frenzied in their denun
ciations and throats of vengeance.
The event in Richmond bears a more
serious aspect than the former. Here
the mob was really organized, and ex
ecuted its
. objects in part. In Rich-
Mond it appears the ignorant black
population have been made indignant
againitt the whites by politicians using
the blessing of free speech to a great
disadvantage, and bloody results might'
have followed this Brat outbreak had
not the military interfered. This kind
of free speech we are unequivocally
opposed to, and ORAL it necessary that
measures be enforced to prevent its
recurrence. ififffithinaloryappeals to a
mass of uneducated hearers can have
no other effect than an injurious ono,
as they often result in disturbances of
the public peace that are shockiiig in
the extreme. All riots may be traced
to this one cause, as the ringleaders
are those who address their followers
publicly and exaspertite them against
those iipon whom their spleen is vent.
We see that proper measures have been
taken in New York to bring the speak
ers to punishment, if a disturbance
does ensue. The detectives have at
tended the meetings and marked the
ringleaders, and ascertained their
names and residences, and keep a stt let
watch upon their daily movements.
This plan would work well ; but we
believe that a man who is guilty of
making an inflammatory harangue
should be at once arrested and justly
punished, to avoid a repetition. A man
who cannot talk reasonably, argue for
cibly, and reaF!Dtl cahnly, should never
address a pnblie meeting ; because he
is considered a fool in the eyes of sen
sible men, and is sometimes laughed at
by the ignorant; while a man who
uses bitter and hostile language to an
excited crowd should be punished with
severity.

The Riot in Richmond,
Tho late riot in Richmond, in which
the negroes took a:prominent part,
gave us a sufficient evidence of what
we may expect l from chat class of peo
ple in the future-. appears that any
offence given to one member of that
peculiar brotherhood will be resented
in common. The affair in Richmond
sprung from a trivial circumstance
between two individuals, one S. white
man, the Other a black. The white
man felt, insulted by a remark of the
black and thereupon struck him. The
negro retaliated, when both were ar
rested by the police, as they should
have been. But, the mass of negroes
which had gathered around the com
batants at once interfered to prevent
the civil authorities in the execution of
their duties; and endeavored to liber
ate the black man from the officers.
They succeeded, and throe successive
times that the culprit was caught was
he freed by the overpowering number
of excited colored men. This is the
state of affairs in the South, as far as
the colored people are concerned., The
cause has been attributed, and we
think truly,-1.0 peliticians, who are
teaching the ncgroes the mode of "self
government." What has transpired in
Richmond, may be considered the cri•
terien to judge the South ; for the same
elements are working to excite the ne
groes, in all its borders. And the re•
stilt is nothing more than might have
boon anticipated, and if it finally ends
in a war of the two races, it will be
the direct effect of the teachings of pol
iticians, now seeking to obtain the
votes of the negro by implanting a ha
tred between them and their former
masters. The negroes are ,now being
to taught hate the white man, as much
as they were before loci to fear him.
The consequences of hate will sooner
or later make themselves apparent in
blood-shed and perhaps annihilation
of the colored race.
-STEI'IIEN
Tho utmost precaution was neces
sary on the part of the civil authori•
tics in Richmond to prevent blood
shed, for if ono shut bad been fired,
the already exasperated negroes would
have retaliated with all the venom and
savageness of their nature. To sup
press the mob, the military had to be
called out, who at the point of the bay
onet scattered them. The negroes are
highly offended at this conduct of the
military and vow vengeance against
the regiment stationed there.
If this is the beginning, what will
the end be ? We may expect a repeti
tion of the massacres of New Orleans
and Memphis, if rabid politicians con
tinue to exasperate them against the
whites. The giving the negroes the
right to vete, wo believe, has caused
the disturbance; and bettor, far better,
would it have been bad they boon lot
alone for the present. A politician
socks to gain their votes by arousing
them against their former musters; and
so long as hate and malice hold sway
over the colored people, so long may
we expect trouble and perhaps blood
shed.
JEFF. DAVIS TO OE TIIIED AT LAST.—
Proparations are making fur the trial
of Jelf. Davis. Chief Justice Chase is
expected tcfhold the trial at Richmond.
3 elf. has bnan taken to Richmond, and
it is thought,Wat . :_the trial will not be
delayed: That this man should be kept
confined fur over two years awaiting
trial has exercised the: thoughts of
many who wished to see , juslicp done
the criminal; but it the period was ta
ken up in hunting evidence then we
cannot complain. But of this we have
no certainty. Who is to blame fur the
delay, is left with the Government au
thorities to decide; and all the infor
mation the 'people at present are enti
tled to, it appears, is that his trial has
been ordered by the .President and
Chief Justice Chase. We have no
doubt the trial will be a lengthy ono;
although we can see no necessity, for
it. All the people want is to see jus
tice dune the Chief of the rebellious
States; and something too, that will
prove a Warning to others in future
who may ohtiose to act a conspicuous
part in any unforeseen rebellion. Let
the trial be speedy and decisive.
14W - The Japanese embassy, it is said,
cornea over on a somewhat novel er
rand: Sortie timo ago, the Story runs,
the government of Japan Sent over
three millions in gold to purchase gun
boats and other vessels for the navy of
the Tycoon. The commissioners on•
trusted with this job foil into the hands
of the contractors, and got for the gold
ono almost worthless steamer. It is to
bring to account the guilty parties that
the present embassy is in Washington.
They propose, also, to purchase sever
al war vessels for the Japanese Gov
ernment if they can be procured at a
fair price.
ttf,„„American iron clad war vessels
aro meeting with great favor amongst
foreign powers, and consequently they
are in demand. Russia it is said is
willing to take war vessels in payment
for the unnamed region near the North
pole, mid the mission of the Japanese
embassy is to procure some of the
same articles of furniture if they earl
be had at a fair price. We hope Uncle
Sam will consider it to our nation's
interest not to part with
.them at
present.,

ANOTHER CELESTIAL REBELLION.—
Every now and then wo get a despatch
which tells us that the :Rebellion in
China is progressing, and that Pekin,
Nankin, or Nanchang are threatened.
These despatches take it for granted
that we are thoroughly aware of the
causes and objects of the sedition, and
speak to us familiarly of Teang, Faug.
and Pa, as though. we were as fa
miliar with - them as with Berlin, Ma
drid, or Florence. Such a suggestive
telegraph comes to us to day, which
tells us that Nankin is threatened.
We do not know what is the origin of
the present emeute—whether it is a dif
ferent affair from the ono of last year,
or whether it is a continuation of that
little fiasco. But to form a correct idea
of the influences which produce a re
bellion among the pagodas and villas
of the celestial country, we will recall
the events of the last revolt. The ven
erable king was gathered to his fath
ers, and his son, of unpronounceable
name, reigned in his stead. it seems
that the will of the venerable child of
the sun made three chiefs guardians of
his heir; but in a fit of abstraction dec
orated two of thorn with two swords
and three peacock feathers each, while
the third was passed over, because of
his absence. When ho arrived at the
palace, and found his coadjutors wear
ing three peacock feathere, and be had
but two; ho challenged his rivals to the
sportive game of hari-kari, and when
they declined, raised a rebellion which
covered the whole Empire. :Whether
the present difficulty hue it similar ori
gin or not we cannot tell, but think it
more than probable that the disap
pointment of some two-tailed mandarin
is the cause.
Jeff Davis in Richmond.
Rom)NI), May 11.—The steamer
John Sylvester, with Jeff. Davis on
board, arrived this afternoon. Long
before his arrival military arrange
ments, had been made by General
Schofield. A detachment of the 28th
regiment was present, and sentinels
were posted at intervals, inclosing
about two hundred yards square of
the wharf. Outside of this a largo
crowd of Degrees and a few whites
were gathered. The brows of the
surrounding hills were thickly cover
ed with spectators. Major Vance, of
General Scofield's staff, who was in
command, had a detachment of the
Bth artillery, numbering about fifty,
mounted as a guard for the carriages.
As the steamer hove in sight, with
the national flag flying, the most in
tonal.) anxiety was exhibited by the
crowd to get closer, but there was no
demonstration, ne cheering or hissing.
When the steamer was made fast,
Eton. JaMeS Lyons went aboard and
had a feeling meeting with Davis. le
brought Mrs. Davis ashore and con
ducted her to a carriage, followed by
her two servants. In a few minutes
Davis came over the gangway plank,
accompanied by Gen. Burton and Dr.
Cooper. The party immediately got
into carriages, and surrounded by the
mounted guard, drove rapidly by a
side street up towards the Spottswood
Hotel, thus disappointing the large
crowds who gathered on Main street,
near the wharf, to see Davis.

RICHMOND, - VA., May 13.—At eleven
o'clock this morning, Jeff Davis was
conveyed from his quarters at the
Spottswood House to the United
States Supreme Court Room, opposite
Capitol Square. As early as 10 o'clock
a large crowd, composed principally of
negroes, assembled in front of the ho
tel; anxious to got a glimpse of the
stern statesman. Moro was no dis
turbance or excitement.
The Court room was filled to its ut
most capacity, and guarded outside
by United States solders. Davis en.
bored the Court room at twenty min
utes past 11 o'clock ; and was assigned
a seat in a corner, near Marshal Dun
can. lie looked pale and haggard,
Was dressed in a dark suit, black
slouch bat, green kid gloves, and car
ried a cane. lle was subsequently
provided with a seat near his counsel,
and sat between William B. Redd - and
Charles °Toner.
The proceedings were opened by
Charles O'Conor, who read the writ
producing the prisoner in Court. A
lengthy speech was made by Mr. o'-
Conor in favor of admitting Davis to
bail, and any amount of bail was offer
ed. Win. M. tivarts and District At
torney Chandler then replied to Mr.
O'Conor. After some law technicali
ties were gone through with, Judge
Underwood addressed the counsel, and
argued the question of admitting the
prisoner to bail. lie said it would be
satisfactory to the Court, under the
circumstances, to admit Alr. - Davis to
bail in the sum of $lOO,OOO, and he
would require ten securities at $lO,OOO
each. After some further prelimina
ries, it was decided to.admit the pris
oner to bail in the sum of $lOO,OOO,
and twenty gentlemen entered the re
quired amount in the sum of $5OOO
each.
Jeff Davis was congratulated freely
on the result, and ho appeared relieved
and gratified. florae() Greeley was
the first to sign the tail hoed. Davis

Horace Gaceley, shook him heartily
by the hand, and entered into conver
sation with him, when Davis loft the
Court room a free man, for the first

The Indian War.
Cutomio, May 11.—A special to the
Journal from Council Bluffs, lowa da
ted the 11th, says,- the steamer Locilair
passed down the river to-day bringing
news of the destruction of the steamer
Miner, by the Indians, about:soo miles
above Sioux City. The:boat landed to
take wood, and while the crew were
chopping, the Indians, about 200 in
number, surrounded and massacred
the whole party, and captured the
boat, killing and scalping men, women
and children indiscriminately. Only
two men escaped. After pillaging the
boat of all its valuables, the Indians
burned it to the water's edge.
A Riot in Richmond.
11.1CMSIOND 7 Va., May O.—A serious
riot occurred this 'evening. A largo
crowd of negroes gathered on Carey
street to see the trial hetwocn the en
gines of Richmond and Wilmington,
Del., fire companies. A fight took
place, and a negro was arrested. The
mob of negroes rescued him; but he
was again captured. Upon arriving
at the upper station house, tho no
groes again rescued him, throwing paw
ing stones at the police. Captain Jen
kins of the police, two sergeants, and
ono private wore all injured, two of
them seriously. By this time the mob
had swelled to nearly a thousand no
g l'oes,
General Schofield sent up a company
of the I.lth' Regiment, and came him
self. Ho spoke to the mob, command
ing them to disperse, but the order
was not obeyed. The soldiers then
charged bayonets and drove them
away. More soldiers were sent to the
station-houso after night, and no riot is
now likely to occur.
During the progresB riot, the
mob surrounded a house in which a
white boy had taken refuge, and clam
ored for him until ho came out and the
police took him in charge. The lie
grecs said he had a slung-shot.
MORE TROUBLE RXPECTED
WaShington,May 10. From Richmond
to day I learn _that the disturbance of
yesterday isitbelsubjettt of doop and
earnest discussion among all classes
there. ThoSe having the interest and
welfare of ilia community at heart
arc grateful that riot and bloodshed,
which would probably inaugurate a
war of races, .vas averted. The
whites generally regret the occurrence
though they feel absolved from any
blame by non-participation in it, the
whole being mainly attributable to the
nogroes, who, under the influence of
incendiary politicians, are nut to be
controlled. The forbearance of the po•
lice in not using their firearms is com
mendable.
The effective manner•in which Ott,:
military dispersed the mob, under the
order of General Schofield, exaspera
ted the negroes to such a degree that
they now vow vengeance against the
11th United States Infantry, who on
some future occasion are to be rough
ly dealt with. It is feared that the
expected arrival of Mr. Davis in Rich
mond will be the signal for a riot,
which will exceed in atrocity any of
the previous riots in the South. It has
lately boon manifest that the negroes
have been for some time seeking the
difficulty that euirninated.yeeterday.
The following additiomd intelligence
has just been received from Richmond,
Va :—This evening, at the African
church, there was a largo and demon•
strativo meeting of negroes, ostensibly
to ratify a convention held last month,
but in reality, to listen to demagogues.
Confiscation was, as usual, greeted
with the loudest demonstrations of ap
proval, and one of the Boston orators
could. have had his policy convenient
ly carried out when he told his colored
hearers, after protecting the life of
Judge nderwood, to hold high carni
val. After his departure the negroes
if agreeably disposed, might be apt to
hold such kind of carnival as would ro
in pit I;aBii_ and mas§:nrrees;—
---
The negroes still feel very excited
over the events of last evening. Quito
a number of them have been discharg
ed from employment in the hotels and
restaurants of the city, who were en
gaged in the disturbance. The white
citizens are feeling nervous at the con
sequences likely to flow from the tri.
um ph of the negroes over the law and
the police.
Judge Underwood, Hunnicutt, and
all those white mon who have boon in
sidiously exciting the negroes to in
surrection, are clearly responsible for
the proceedings of yesterday.—N.

The Peace Congress in Europa.
LoNnoN, May 9.—The rcrresentn•
tires of the great powers commission
ed to the Peace Congress in this city
reassembled in session this afternoon
after the adjournment tvilielt took
place on Tuesday and continued over
Wednesday. The second mooting has
proved a success with reference to the
difficult and important subject which
the plenipotentiaries have been called
upon to treat as between Franco and
Prussia, the Grand _Duchy of Luxem
bourg and Holland.
The question is settled in favor of
peace.
By the recorded minutes of the
Congress, Luxembourg remains under
the rule of the King of Holland. The
neutralization Of the torritOry of the
Grand Duchy will be guaranteed by the
great powers of Europo. The fortress
of Luxembourg will be evacuated by
the Prussian troops, and razed to the
ground. No troops will be retained
within the territory of Luxembourg
except a force which may be neces
sary to maintain order and preserve
the peace.
The pressure which was exerted on
the plenipotentiaries in the Congress
by the defiant attitude which the op
posing powers—Franco and Prussia—
maintained towards each other, com
bined with the knowledge which the
members had of the great war prepa
rations which were being carried on
on the Continent, led to a very speedy
action on the part of the Conference
representatives.
There now remain, merely, the offi
cial and executive details of the pro
ceedings to be settled, which will be
done in due 1 - brut and speedily. The
treaty of settlement, xvhielf will of
course bo properly named and intitlod,
will be signed on Friday or Saturday

is three or four feet in•hoight. The
silk is inclosed in a pool, of which each
plant gives a groat number, and is de
(dared to be superior' in fineness and
quality to the production of the silk

seed small and easily separated from
the fibre. The stem of the plant pro
duces a long and very brilliant fibre,
superior in strengtlr and beauty to the
finest linen thread. Small quantities
have been woven --in the rude manner

brilliancy is said to be unsurpassed.
Preparations are now being made to
