WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1885
Air President Johnson has ap
pointed the Ron. James Johnson Pro
visional Governor of Georgia, and
the Hon. Andrew J. Hamilton Pro.
visional Governor of Texas. His proc
lamation for those States are similar
to the ones issued for North Caroli
na and Mississippi.
Oz".- Gen. Sherman will be the
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Ohio, this fall. That's certain, and
so is his election, notwithstanding
Italleelc and Stanton's onslaughts.—
We-wonder if he will be called a "cop
perhead" by the "loyal !"
Siti - The "Loyal Leagues" are be
ginning to smash up all over the
country. This is a good riddance of
bad-rubbish. Their days were pro
longed somewhat beyond the age .of
the Know Nothing Councils. What
comes next? Uncle Tom Cabins?
Kr Through the exertions of a few
narrow-minded politicians in Harris
burg, the intended celebration of the
4th of July in that city has fallen
through. The Democrats have con
cluded, in consequence, to have an
old-fashioned celebration.
gm. A delegation of prominent
Democrats called upon the President
last week. They wore kindly re
ceived and had a pleasant interview.
The President told them that he in
tended to administer the Govern
ment for the whole people, and not
for any party. Good.
,tom' Mrs. Lincoln and the Nation
al Monument Association, at Spring
fiqd, Illinois, have got into a serious
quarrel about the location of the
monument of the late President.—
Mrs. Lincoln demands that the monu
ment be erected at Oak Ridge, some
distance from Springfield ; that a
deed of the property should bo made
to her and her children, and that it
should also bo used as the last rest
ing place of herself, her children and
their descendants. The Association
has proposed several convenient and
beautiful sites in Springfield, and is
of the opinion that the property
should not pass into private hands.—
Mrs. Lincoln is determined, and
threatens that if her wishes arc not
acceded to, to return the remains to
Washington to be there disposed of.
Wis doubtful if the differences will
be reconciled.
NY- Hon. Eenry Wilson, republi
can U.S. Senator from Massachusetts,
is ((embarrassing the government"—
In a recent speech, in Boston, he said,
referring to the "suffrage act" passed
by the Legislature of Tennessee :
"Ile would tell the People of Tennessee, Gov
ernor Brownlow, and President Johnson, that
Representatives of Tennessee cannot be received
in Congress with that law upon her statute
books.
If the "laws of Tennessee" are to
be made the test of the admission or
rejection of her representatives in,
Congress, similar tests should be :ap
plied to the witch-burning State, in
which case Henry Wilson, Esq.,
might probably be allowed to stay at
home also. However, President
Johnson is not apt to pay much at
tention to what Henry Wilson may
"tell" him.
(Kr It is very cool, (this warm
weather,) on the part of the Republi
can papers, to say - that the Demo
crats are very anxious that Jeff, Da
vis should not be hung, when the fact
is that those alone troubling
themselves on that subject are
the Republicans, and the only
ones earnestly pleading for him - are
the leaders of that party. The Dem
ocrats have very little to say on the
subject, preferring to leave it to the
wisdom ! and statesmenship ! of Re
publicanism to deal with him as he
deserves, which will no doubt bo to
the honor and glory of our country !
ltd` When the immense indebted
ness of the nation is considered, as
well as the impropriety of sponging
upon other peoples' property, we
wonder that some of the prominent
republicans of the land, who appa
rently have an abundance of means
of their own, are not ashamed of
themselves in using Government ves
sels for the purpose of making pleas
ure trips at the Government's ex
pense. We notice in the papers that
Secretary Welles, family and friends,
have just returned from a two week's
trip to the Suuth, on a Government
vessel and at the public expense._
What right have they, if there were
no other considerations, to use the
public property and money for such
purposes? None whatever, and
hence, it is an outrage and a shame,
and we trust President Johnson will
break up such proceedings, and that
speedily,
ANOTHER ACCESSION,
The conservative policy of the
Democratic party is daily receiving
encouragement from the ablest and
patriotic of the Republicans. The
mour will always triumph in the end
in a Democratic country like ours.—
No matter how misrepresented and
borne down, when the sober thoughts
of the people conic they will resort
to that which is noble and consistent,
as does the prodigal after years of
dissipation and recklessness, seek for
quiet in the peaceful bosom of his
childhood borne. President Johnson
has not forgotten "his past record,"
consequently his policy, as far as de
veloped, is right, and receives the
mighty support of the Democracy.—
The ablest of the republicans are dai
ly hurrying their late views, seeing
that they are impracticable, and de
structive of the best interests of the
country. Among the latest and
most valuable acquisitions is the
Philadelphia North American. It
does not regret the rebuke sustained
by the Missouri radicals by their de r
feat in the recent Con - stitutienal elec
tion in that State. The new Consti
tution is intended to disfranchise the
mass of the Southern people from
voting and gives the,rigkit of suffrage
to the negroes. The North American
speaks out plainly and boldly, at the
risk of being called "traitor," "secesr
sionist," "copperhead," &c., by its
late radical allies, which, however,.it
does not seem to 'fear any more than
do those who have been hardened
into receiving such abuse for the past
four years. Surely, DAY IS BREAK
ING !
sm. Our neighbor of the Libation
Democrat, (a republican newspaper,)
says, "the Democratic newspapers
most earnestly reason and argue that
Jeff Davis should not be hung." How
can the editor of that paper say such
a thing? He certainly- knows that
the only ones pleading for Jeff Davis
are the leaders and papers of his own
party. Aside from the Daily News
of New York we defy him to show a
single . Democratic paper that has
anything to say pro or con on the
subject, while we can show him that
the New York Tribune, Libanon•Dem
ocrat, Wendell Phillips, Gerret Smith,
and hundreds of others of their own
party and papers are doing just the
very thing he insidiously is trying
to foist on the shoulders of the De
m ocracY.
The same paper, on the subject of
reconstruction and negro ., voting, is
in doubts whether to support or op
pose the policy of President Johnson
—leaning, however, slightly towards
supporting it. 'We are glad of this
tendency. There should be no em
barrassing of the Administration.—
While the Democrats arc supporting
the President's policy, so many of
those who elected him are opposing
it, that we feel real glad of the ten
dency of the Denzokrat to join hands
with us in support of the President.
We trust it may soon take the posi
tion firmly, and become a true Denzo
krat.
it The issue intending to be made
in Pennkylvania, this fall, by , the Re
publicans, in the - election of members
of the Legislature„ is to elect such
Members as are f3vorable to alter the
COnstitution to give negroes votes in
thiS.State. All the republican candi
dates are to. be nominated with that
understanding. On that question the
Pernoeracy, Who 'are opposed to ne
gro voting; will meet then on the hus
tings and at the ballot-boxes. Their
papers argue that by striking the
word "white" from the Constitution
of Pennsylvania, would give them fif
teen to twenty thousand black votes!.
The Old Keystone, we think,,is in
favor of keeping this a white man's
government.
Ate' President Johnson has refused
permission for a colored pie nic to be
held in the grounds adjacent . to the
Executive Mansion. That locality
is to be kept free from such assem
blages. Right.
ozr It is reported that the perma•
neat military establishment Of the
country, will consist of about 177,000
men, of which number 50,000 will be
colored troops.
rte' Wendell Phillips, the leader
of the radical republicans, denies that
he advocated, in a recent speech, the
repudiathin of the war debt of the
United States, and says that he spoke
only of repudiating the rebel debt.—
The New York Times, a journal of
his own party, says that he did advo
cate the repudiation of the National
Debt, and many of those who heard
him; say the same. So, there is a
question of veracity at stake between
them. As no one over advocated or
suggested the assumption of the rebel
debt, it would be folly- to talk about
its repudiation, and hence, Wendell
Phillips has no doubt "put the foot in
it."
tm,licre is the biggest oil story
yet perpetrated :

LO, THE POOR NEGRO
The negroes from the southern
plantations continue to crowd, by
thousands and tens of thousands, to
the towns and cities, whore no pro
visions are made for their support,
and the consequence is that thou
sands are weekly dying of starvation.
They will not remain on the planta
tions, much less work, having formed
the idea, that their new-born free
dom means that they are no longer
to work ; to come and go where they
will ; and that those who freed them
will also feed and clothe theta. Hence,
the plantations aro either iying idle,
or, as a correspondent remarks :
Failing -to make engagements with
their negroes, and despairing even of
their ultimate return, many of the
planters have engaged white men to
work for them, and to take the place
of their negroes. No one can blame
them for this;
and yet a storm of exe
cration will be raised about their
heads for doing so. My informants
have related to me numerous instan
ces' where poor white men, living
near large plantations, have been en
gaged by the planters by the year, to
work for thern,_and are now actively
engaged. These poor Men were not
soldiers in the - rebel army ; but as the
Confederate soldiers return to their
homes, they too will no doubt be en
gaged in like manner. Five or six
white men, on a Plantation, can do
the work formerly done' by twenty
or thirty negroes ; and as there are
comparatively few plantations in the
South .on which more than twenty
able-bodied slaves were employed, it
may be that the planters, in the end,
will find this kind of labor the most
profitable to them ; for, besides sup
porting the .negro, the master was
compelled also to support the negro's
wife and his three or four children—
his whole family, in fact—to provide
them with a home and the,means of
living, to take care of them when sick,
and to support them when aged and
infirm, and all this - for the labor of one
man. It will be much cheaper for
the planters to employ white labor,
of which indeed, they can easily, pro
cure an abundance. And if this should
be the result of the abolition - of sla
very—if, in depriving the masters of
their slaves, - the abolitionists have al
so deprived the slaves of their homes
and their means of subsistenee, will
they .be so well satisfied with their
"war for the negro ?"
THE CAPTURE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS--
ANOTHER STORY,
The New Orleans _Picayune pub
lished under Union control, gives the
following version of the capture
.of
Jefferson Davis,
.which as it differs
so entirely from the accounts already,
published in our columns, we copy :
"Several old citizens of New Or
leans, who have recently arrived in
this city, give a very different ver
sion of the alleged capture of Jeffer
ion Davis from that which has been
telegraphed from the North. The
statement vouched for by these gen
tlemen represents Mr. Davis as vol—
untarily surrendering himself, instead
of being captured in disguise. From
their relation it appears that Mr. Da
vis was escorted from North Carolina
to Georgia by two brigades of caval
ry. -On arriving at the Georgia line,
Mr. Davis having received the intelli
gence of the surrender of General
Taylor, had his cavalry escortdrawn
up in line, and after addressing them
in a brief speech, ordered their dis
persal to their homes. He further
directed that a small sum of gold,
which he had saved from the allow
ance made him by the Congress,
should be divided among the men.—
He then mounted his horse, and ac
companied by five or six personal
friends,proceeded to Irvington, Ga.
No isguise or evasion was used
by him. He was everywhere known
and recognized as the President of
the Confederate States. On his ar
rival at Irvington, Mr. Davis was
shown the proclamation of President
Johnson,, charging him with com
plicity in the assassination of Mr. Lin
coln. He immediately informed his
friends that he should send to the
nearest Federal commander and in
form him of his purpose to surrender
and meet the charge which was
made against him. This was done,
and a detachment of Gen. Wilson's
command came to Irvington and Mr.
Davis and his aids surrendered to
-him."
Criir A rumor has been current in

HIRING A BABY---A QUEER STORY A-
BOUT THE ST, ALBAN'S RAID.
An incident, not generally known,
concerning one of the St. Alban's
raiders, has recently come to light.—
Immediately after his acquittal, one
of the raiders, having little faith in
the judge's decision ; determined to
leave the country. It being unsafe
to travel, unless disguised, be be
thought himself for a while. The
difficulty was perplexing, and time
was scarce. If ho stopped much
longer, he would likely be arrested,
and there were few disguises the
lynx-eyed officers of the law had not
soon through. An idea, however,
struck him. He hired a baby, pay
ing $4OO as security for its safe re
turn. He then dressed himself as a
lady and started for Halifax with
the child, and for a great part of the
way bad for an estor•t the very officer
detailed to catch him. Ile, however,
gives the detective a very good rec•
ommerOation for gallantry, for
during the trip there was
nothing either• himself or the child
needed that the officer of the law did
not get for them. He arrived safely
in Halifax and took a passage for
Iturope.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT IN„BROOKLYN.
—On Saturday afternoon, about half
past four o'clock, a little girl named
Catharine Benton, aged about six ,
years, went to see her father, George
Benton, who was at work in the At
lantic FOundry, in Van
,Brunt street,
near Commerce. - Her father and her
self commenced playing, when a sud
den shriek of heart rending agony
`Was heard, and instantly the child
was torn from her father, and rapid
ly carried around by the revolving
machinery. While playing, her dress
caught in the "set screw 'on the shaft,
drawing the little girl rapidly round
the shaft: Her head was driven with_
great force against the brick Wall on
the opposite side, dashing her brains
out and killing her instantly. The
poor father, thus suddenly and sadly
afflicted, was inconsolable over his
bereavement; and his fondling of the
dead child would have brought tears
m the 'stoutest.
STANTON AND JEFF. DAVIS,
To the Editor of the N. Y. World. •
Permit me to describe one of the
early scenes in the grand drama, the
last act of• which has not yet bebn
played.
It was during the session of Con
gress, the winter preceding the
Charleston Convention, that a grave
senator occupied the attention ca the
Senate on the state of the - nation.—
His solemnity of manner, his simplic
ity of style, his extreme views on the
subject ofstate rights, all proved the
sincerity of the speaker, and recalled
to memory the figure, voice and sen
timent of . the dead Calhoun. The
voice seemed more like the emana
tion of a spirit than the uttered con
victions .of the man who was destin
ed to be the leader of the great rebel
lion. A sort of .awe spread over the
Senate chamber, and even Wade,
and Sumner, and Chandler listened
with an attention akin to respect.—
Among the auditory:4ll.er° was one
who seemed 'more' ttian the rest ab
sorbed in the scene before him.—
The Senate adjourned, and Stanton
hastened from the Senate chamber
to one of the great hotels of Washing.
ton, and asked to be shown to the
room of the venerable Governor Me.
dary, of Ohio. .Scarcely had lie en
tered when, with a voice full of pas
sionate energy, he exclairned—".M.e
dary, 1 have. ust heard Davis, and, by
all the gods, he is the greatest of liv
ing statesmen !" The South is right,
and Davis must be the nominee of the
Charleston Convention ; and to se
cure that end, you must come at once
to Washington and take charge of
the government organ."
Governor Medary suggeStad that
there were certain reasons why such
an arrangement might not be accepta
ble to Mr. Buchanan, when Mr. Stan
ton replied :
"I will look to that ; I will be re
sponsible for that I will go at once
to the White . House, and in two
hours from now I Will see you
again !"
Medary waited, Stanton returned ;
but for reasons unnecessary here to
narrate, the scheme failed. This was
the openina, scene which preceeded
the rebellion, and Edwin M. Stanton
played the chief role as the advocate
of southern rights, and the especial
friend of Jeff. Davis. -
Governor Medary sleeps in an
honored grave, but there are yet
three living witnesses to the truthful
ness of this narrative. One is a state
prisoner who lies in chains at For
tress Monroe; another is his jailer,
who declared the prisoner's views to
be just, and who f•otight to place the
man he now holds in irons in the
Presidential chair ;
the third and fast
is the venerated James Buchanan.--
This is but a stray scrap of history,
but it is not unworthy of being pre•
sented.
VOICE FROM THE GRAVE
INCREASE OF CRIME-A SECRET SO•
CIETY OF BURGLARS.--A policemen re
cently had occasion to arrest a fellow
who had been concerned in a burgla
ry, and whom he had known in boy
hood, the two being schoolmates and
intimate friends. This person told
the policeman that there was likely
to be a great increase of burglary
from this time forth, "You pOlice
meri," he said, "will have your hands
full hereafter." On being questioned,
he stated that the thieves and burglars,
as a general thing are banded to
gether by membership in a secret
"lodge," which has its ramifications
and its signs and passwords ; that it
is extensive, so that any member who
gets into trouble, no matter in what
city, may find help at hand—the
brotherhood being bound to bear each
a portion of the eXpense in enabling
the arrested man to forfeit bonds—
These burglars, he said, have in many
eases for the last three or four years
had no occasion to ply their -avoca
tion, having obtained all the money
they needed in another way, as boon
ty-juutpers,,Ond Substitute brokers in
larger cltiOs'r Now, however, the war
having come to an end, these fast
gentry begin to find themselves get
ting short of funds ; and this fellow's
opinion was, that they would return
to their old business of house break
ing, and with their number doubled
by the state of things existing for the
last four years. In confirmation of
the truth of this theory, the police
say that they have had double the
usual number of such cases during
the last ten or twelve days. And wo
see the same remarked increase of
burglaries by armed and desperate
fellows in various parts of the coun
try during the past fortnight. It
would seem that with the close ofthe
war a swarm of villianous despera
does has been let loose upon the com
munity.
Davis' Defense.
It is said that Charles O'Connor in
tends to call -as witnesses in defense
of Jeff. Davis several immaculate pat.
riots, including Horace G-reely, who
argued the right of secession to the
fullest extent.. Also, D. S. Dickinson,
Lyman Tromain, B. F. Butler and
athers who aided and,abetted the re
bellion, and insisted that in with
drawing from the Union, , the seced
ing States. were exercising an un.
doubted right. These gentlemen are
all lawyers, and from their speeches
on record, and letters from some of
.them to Southern men on file, Mr.
O'Connor intends to prove that Jeff.
Davis was acting under the advice of
counsel. ;• -
A little girl, eight years of age,
residing with her parents in Milton,
Berks county, had both legs cut off
by a train of cars a few days ago.
The town elections in Waterbury
and New London, Connecticut, have
