The “Situation” in England.
The blockade of our Southern ports puts
England upon a new basis of trade. The
failure of the long-established supply of
American cotton revolutionized that great
great branch of her products for export,
and sympathetically disturbed all her other
industries which look to a foreign market.
The fall of Richmond, and of the price of
cotton, and the consequent depression in
all other branches of trade, with the anxious
uncertainty as to the time when the nncon
sumed staples of the South will be let
loose upon their market; the rise of our
Government securities there and in all Eu
xope—in the London market from 39 to 66
as early as the third or fourth day after the
news was received; the diminished de
mand for their exports in this cgpntry, and
the probability of a drain Of gold in this
direction, soon to set in—altogether prove
too much for their philosophy of com
merce. Added to all these things, are
troublesome speculations about what may
take place in Canada, putting, it seems, the
spirit of divination as much at fault. Their
journals and economic oracles are doing
what they can to induce prudence and pa
tience, talking in the tone of a physician
prescribing red flannel for a fit of the
gout, with hints at temperance and hope in
the constitution of things to relieve the
paroxysm when the weather gets better.
They have not been accustomed to con-
template the tide of gold as heading steadi
ly westward. They remember that when
they were buying cotton from countries
that did not take their merchandise in ex
change, half a million of gold exported in
a week put up the rate of interest at the
Bank of England to 9 per cent., and they
have a misty apprehension that the chapter
of possible events might bring about a sus
pension of specie payments.
Still, they have been clinging so fondly
to tbe hope of Confederate successes that the
catastrophe, at last advices, was not felt as
quite imminent and unavoidable. T-he news
to be received after the first shock will tell
upon the existing fears and give them a
portentous shape. They had nearly ig
nored Gen. Grant. Sheehan's romantic
achievements turned their whole atten
tion upon him, and they were not pre
pared to see the Lieutenant General put
the reel into the bottle and cork it up
tight, while the next steamer was crossing
the ocean. They did not believe that' the
rebellion was a shell, to be crushed at once
by the concerted movement which brought
GRANT, Sherman, and Sheridan into the
ring at the same moment. They did not
expect Lee and Johnbton to surrender,
and the rebel Cabinet to he shattered and
scattered, and the whole organized resist
ance to he maßhed into nothingness in a
fortnight.
- Some of shcse results they have by this
time, but there are other things to follow.
■Gold does not go down on our market fast
enough for them. Our manufactures are
displacing theirs; the South will not. be
large consumers of their products for some
time ; immigration will bring us labor and
capital at a rate never witnessed before,
with the difference, also, that whereas the
half-paid laborers in Europe were formerly
made excellent customers when they got
• here, (so that the Times once said that
America ■was the best place for England to
have her Irishmen, because immigration
changed them from paupers at home to
consumers of English goods), there are
many indications that we will soon be de
livered from industrial vassalage to their
great workshop, and made competitors
with them in all the markets of the western
hemisphere at least.
John Bull will presently say to himself,
“ Blast this Southern rebellion. I can’t
see hut it has done more harm than good.
The BVderals have a national debt now,
and they will be obliged to take care of
themselves, which is bad fox us, very.
They can’t let us do their work and pay
their own taxes. The Revolution of IT7O
was a blessed thing for us, but this Re
bellion of 18G1 is of monstrous ill-omen.
Common blood, common language, Bhaks
peare, Milton, and all that will be of no
use if these people take to making all their
own iron and cloth.”
National and Individual In-
debtedness.
A great offset to the pressure of the na
tional debt exists in the almost total absence
of individual indebtedness. The evils of
“the credit system” have been constantly
felt during all our past history, but never,
before the commencement of rite war, were
the people sufficiently prosperous to dis
charge their manifold private obligations,
or to effect extensive and complicated busi
ness transactions on a solid cash basis. It
is safe to assume, in view of the extraordi
nary activity and prosperity of the North,
that during the last fonr years the citizens
of the loyal States have “made more
money" than is represented by the entire
national indebtedness. They have applied
this mainly to the payment of private debts
in the shape of bills due, notes, bonds, and
mortgages; to the purchase of such sup
plies as their occupations commonly re
quire, and to the accumulation of a surplus
capital. The vast sums thus used in dis
charging old debts and in avoiding new
-ones, together with the large earnings that
have been saved by all classes, are but par
tially employed in the loans to the Federal
■Government, and they account for the sub
scription of more than $40,000,000 in a
single week.
Practically, the old indebtedness'of indi
vidual to individual has been extinguish
ed, and it is only partially replaced by the
indebtedness of the nation. The new
credit system has immeasurable advantages
over the old one. It is secure, and not
liable to violent fluctuations, sudden panics,
and ruinous losses. Our creditor classes
Will have the Union as their chief debtor
hereafter, and they could not obtain better
security. While the Government taxeß its
■citizens more heavily than heretofore, the
financial accompaniments of the war have
-relieved them from a tax far more onerous
than it imposes—-that which in former
times they paid to their creditors, to insol
vent debtors, and to broken banks. .
British Non-Sympathizers.
It is worthy of notice that among the
members of : Parliament and other promi
nent persons who attended and spoke at
the public meeting held at St. James' Hall,
London, on the 39th April, to express their
grief and horror at the assassination of
President Lincoln, there was not one of
the known advocates and friends of the
late “so-called Southern Confederation.”
Not Laird, who built the Alabama and
other pirate vessels; not bucolic Bbntinck,
a representative of the Norfolk protection
ists ; not Berkeley, of Cheltenham, heir to
the Fitzhardinge titles and virtues; not
Gregory, who haß so notably misrepre.
seated Galway county for the last eight
years, after having been repudiated by the
electors of Dublin with contempt and
scorn; not Febgusson, who, were he a
baronet six times oyer, is not the less dis
honorable for having abused the permission
to come North from Richmond, which he
entered by blockade-running, broke faith
with our Government by smuggling in,
among his baggage, a basket-full of letters
from Southern cebels to Northern sympa
thizers, and, when detected, scarcely
“blushed to find it fame;” lastly, not
Roebuck, (the Thersites, as Derby is the
Rupert of debate,) a mock liberal, who has
been the bitterest calumniator of the public
men of the Union, and tbe most malignant
jiervjgrter gf. Uie-ir ■priHciples~ancl conduct.
Among the avowed friends of the rebel
cause who did not attend the public meet,
ing in London was Mr. Thomas Conolly,
Who, by virtue of many acres and illiberal
politics, has been Parliament-man for the
Irish county of Donegal since 1849, having
succeeded his father, who held the
same trust from the year 1831’ Mr. Co
holly, as a public speaker, belongs to the
“Orator Mum” genus, buthasgiveu his
silent votes against all liberal measures
with considerable regularity. Although he is
well educated (an Harrovian as well as an
Oxonian), this gentleman had the weak
ness to take sides with Roebuck, Gregory,
Laird, & Co., in backing up the “so
called” Confederate, and opposing the
Union cause. Nay,' so much persuaded
was he not only that Richmond was safe,
but that Washington would be taken, that,
two months ago, instead of attending Par
liament, as he was hound to have
done, be made his way into Richmond,
where he was made much of as a
distinguished stranger—the difficulty, at
last, being that he found it impossible to
get out of the besieged city. Accordingly,
as the New York correspondent of the
London Times states, when Petersburg
and Richmond fell into our hands, this
Conolly, M. P., was observed flitting about
the railroad depot in a distracted state, un
certain whether to remain and trust the
mercy of the Union troops or follow in the
wake of Lee, who had not then surren
dered his army and abandoned the bad
cause. It is singular that no mention of
this sympathizing M. P. has any where
been made, since Richmond fell. When
he first reached that city, we drew attention
to the fact. If he is not soon heard of,
Donegal may have to look out for a new
member of Parliament.
A great and good man had fallen under
the red right hand of a miserable assassin
—a man who was doubly great because he
was good, in whom there was no guile—
and there was not found one of the rebel
sympathizing leaders to stand forward, be
fore the world, and publicly denounce the
foul deed. Mason, the Rebel, whose oc
cupation, like his own character, is gone,
wrote a letter to The Index, denying that
the South had any foreknowledge of the
intended murder, and affirming that none
would regard the crime with more ab
horrence. But The Times, which often
hits the right nail on the head, une
quivocally says that, for public opi
nion in Europe, much more than a
mere denial by such a person as !
Mason will be necessary to acquit the lead
ing publicists of the South of deep and dark
complicity in the crime which made Presi
dent Lincoln its victim, and nearly caused
the death of Secretary Seward and his
son. The Parliamentary friends of Re
bellion, who have held back from de
nouncing the tremendous crime which has
smitten down a nation’s chosen chief,
render themselves liable to the suspicion
of not being wholly grieved at the catas
trophe. They will find their mistake,
however, if they thought that the death of
Mf. Lincoln would for a moment have
clogged the wheels of Government or im
peded the onward and righteous action of
the nation under the martyr-President’s
successor.
Tlie Cesareritcli.
The death of the Grand-duke Nicholas
of Russia, next heir to the throne, will
cause no difficulty as to the succession, for,
in Russia, as in other hereditary monar
chies, the old French rule prevails:' Le
Roi est mort! Vive le Roi!—the sove
reign has departed, we accept and hai! his
successor. There are some curious cir
cumstances, however, connected with the
Russian succession which are worth no
tice.
Peter the Great, the most absolute mo
narch that Russia ever possessed, had
assumed the right of choosing a successor
out of the imperial family, and exercised
that right by leaving the crown to his
widow, a Swede of lowly birth, histori
cally known as Catherine I. In the year
1797, the Emperor Paul issued an ukase,
by which he abolished this pretension, and
established, for ever, the succession to the
throne in the usual order, the males suc
ceeding before the females, and.the elder
in both before the younger. This was so
lemnly confirmed by Paul’s eldest son,
Alexander I, on two solemn occasions—
by ukases issued in 1807 and 1820.
ALEXANDER 1., Who died in December,
1825, had only two daughters—both of
whom died in infancy. At his demise,
then, his next brother, Constantine, then
Governor of Poland, was undoubted heir
to the throne. His second brother, Nicho
las, residing at St. Petersburg, where he
held high military command, was remarks
bly popular, and it was apprehended that
Nicholas, having the advantage also of
being on the spot, might be induced to dis
pute the succession with Constantine,
who was in Warsaw, when the Emperor
Alexander’s death became known. A
contest between the brothers did ensue, but
it was an extraordinary one— each en
deavoring to make the other C*ar.
When Alexander’s death was made
public in Warsaw, the army, as well as all
the official persons there, hailed Constan
tine as Emperor. He shut himself up in
his palace for two days, and authoritatively
refused to assume the title and functions of
empire, declaring that he had resigned lils
right of succession in favor of his younger
brother, Nicholas ; that this had been
done with the knowledge and consent of
the late Czar; and that Nicholas now was
Emperor. He communicated this to his
mother and to Nicholas, referring both
to the formal act of renunciation, executed
in 1822, and deposited in the archives of
the empire. The fact was that Constan
tine had made a morganatic marriage, in
1820, with the consent of his brother, the
Czar Alexander, on condition of his so
lemnly, but seeretly, executing an instru
ment -whereby he renounced his own right
of succession, and recognized Nicholas as
heir to the throne.
When the document was publicly read,
the Council of State hailed Nicholas Em
peror, and prepared to offer him their
homage. But Nicholas refused to accept
the crown, maintaining that Constantine
was Czar dt facto as well as dejare, and
that unless Constantine again renounced
the throne, he (Nicholas) would continue
his refusal. He added that as the renuncia
tion had not been declared or acted upon
in the late Czar’s life time, it had not ac
quired the force of a law, but was null and
void. The Council said, in effect, “ You
are onr Emperor. We must obey you. If
you”desire us to recognize this Grand Duke,
Constantine, as our sovereign, we must
do It.” Thereupon they declared Con
stantine Emperor, and he Wft* recognized
as such by the authorities, the Guards
taking the oaths of allegiance to him.
During three weeks this surprising contest
continued, and, atlast, Constantine con
tinuing obstinate, Nicholas accepted»the
throne, signified his accession to the sove
reigns of Europe, and was immediately
recognized by them. Constantine con
tinued Viceroy of Poland.
We have seen it stated that, “by the
death Of the Hereditary Prince, the Grand
Duke Vladimir, second son of the Empe
ror, becomes heir to the throne.” This is
not true, for the simple reason that Vladi
mir is the third son. The second, who has
now become Cesarevitch, as we Stated
yesterday, is the Grand Duke Alexander,
born on the 10th March, 1836.
Emigration to Mexico.
The American people, though energetic
and progressive, have that abiding love of
law and order which is the only sure
foundation of permanent greatness. This
feeling should, and, as a rule, does, con
trol not only their relations to their own
Government, but their action towards
foreign Powers. When the authorities call
upon them to maintain the national honor
at home or abroad they respond with ma
jestic force and dignity, and their efforts
are crowned with success. But when law
less adventurers entice apy.of our reckless
citizens into violations of
our neutrality laws, the usual result is such
disaster and ruin as befell the Cuban and
Nicarauguan filibusters, and unpleasant
entanglements between our Government
and foreign nations. We know nothing of
the secret objects of the proposed Mexican
emigration scheme, which is reported to be
one of the prominent movements of the
day. But those who are disposed to en
courage it should “ look before they leap.”
The Washington Chronicle of yesterday
forcibly says:
However muck the singular action of the Go
vernments of England and Francs may have en>
barratsed the United States In the work of finishing
the rebellion, it does not beoomo the latter to Imi
tate the policy whloh It has denounced. If these
great Fowers have failed or fallen off In their duty
to this country, onr best retaliation is to keep in the
path of principle, and to hold fast to a faith we hare
never broken. Franoe has her Mexican experiment
on hand, and the end of the rebellion makes her
uneasy lest the Americans may offer some help to
her opponents. Here, as In other matters of foreign
complication, “ the golden rale ’’ lately repeated by
Mr. Seward ehonld he remembered—" Peace with
all nations, entangling alllanoes with none; no In
terference from them with ns, and none by us with
them.” Vd the subject of emigration to Moxloo,
Which Is now sought to be made a disturbing pie.
went between that country and ours, the Philadel
phia Ledger speaks onr views exactly :
Thb Filibusters.— The Mexican emigration
scheme is growlcg bolder, and recruiting Is openly
conducted In New York. The Government will
soon be called upon to aot In this matter, and there
Is only one way In which It can honorably aot, and
that Is to put an end to fiUbnstorlng. The country
has been disgraced enough In previous attempts of
this kind, emanating always from the South, bat
alwajs finding In New York sympathizers who
cared nothing for the laws or the honor of the conn
try so long as they eonld sell damaged arms and
gunpowder to the filibusters. New York is the seat
of this new scheme of aggression. The traders In
that city will have all tbe gains, the poor dupes who
are entrapped into tbe enterprise will have all the
losses to sustain. Men who are being discharged
from onr armies had better settle down at once to
Industry la ’heir own country. WhWb the laws pro -
teot them, and where the opportunities for acquiring
property by labor are greater than In any other to
whloh they eonld emigrate.
The Philadelphia Lincoln Mo-
nu incut;
The action of the Bounty Fund Com
mittee of the Tenth waid in contributing
the balance left in tbeir hands, after filling
their quota, towards the proposed monu
ment to be erected in this city to the me
mory of our martyred President, is a move
in the right direction, and one which is
worthy Of imitation. It places, at once,
two hundred and fifty dollars in the hands
of the Mayor, as the nucleus of a fund
which will doubtless be rapidly made
of such magnitude as to authorize the
erection of a memento which shall be
a fitting tribute from a great city to the
virtues of a great man. No better mode
could be devised for the expenditure of the
balances which may remain in the charge
of similar committees in other wards, and
■a considerable sum Could thus at once be
secured for this object. It is also expected
that the various incorporated companies,
doing business in the city, will add to the
fund which it is proposed to raise.
The ladies, whose patriotism has been so
marked throughout the course of the war,
will take a prominent part in the move
ment. Those who have taken such interest
and devoted so much of their time and
attention to the Sanitary and Christian
Commissions, and to the care of the
sick and wounded soldiers in our hos
pitals, being now to a great extent
relieved of their duties, aie acting
promptly in this matter, and pro
pose to receive popular subscriptions of
one dollar, by Which means a large amount
may be quickly and easily collected. It is
intended that the Philadelphia Lincoln
Monument shall be a superb and lasting
memorial of tbe love and veneration of our
citizens for our murdered President.
The only people who -have not yet
discovered that slavery is a defunct insti
tution are the editors and politicians who'
continue their opposition to the constitu
tional amendment that will bury it for
ever. The slaveholders accept Abolition
as an accomplished fact. Many of them
welcome it as a wise and just measure.
The Southern apologists of slavery do
not pretend, at this day, to -oppose free
dom- on any other ground than a pro
fessed regard for the welfare of the negro,
and they have abandoned all the old
logic which claimed an especial sanctity
for “the right of property” in man. It is
left for ultra Northern partisans to support
the exploded pro-slavery ideas, for they
have been discarded by their authors.
It is not usual for lawyers to make pleas
for new trials of abandoned criminals
after they have been condemned, sen
tenced, and executed; but some of our
“ Demqpratic” cotemporaries assume an
attitude not a whit less ridiculous. ,
We stated yesterday, at the close of a
lengthy resume of the facts connected with
the Mexican emigration scheme, that in the
teeth of all reports affirming it, we disbe
lieved that General Rosecbans was likely
to embark in the scheme in the present
phase. The telegraphic report from Bos
ton, where the General now is, confirms
our belief, as in the Representative Hall,
in that city, he endorsed it in the following
very explicit words: “ I perceive in large
letters in the newspapers, to-day, that
General Rosecbans is going to raise 25,000
men to go to Mexico. Now, General Rose
cbans is not going to do any such thing.”
The applause with which this declaration
was received stamped it as perfectly satis
factory to his hearers.
Wbbn thb details of the assassination or Presi
dent Lincoln became Known in Liverpool, all busi
ness came to a complete stand-still, and tbe liveliest
emotions of sorrow and Indignation were expressed.
But even In sucb a oriels there are always many
whose first thought is of making money, and these
rushed to the Stock Exchange to purchase Confede
rate loan stock, which rose from 13>; at one time of
the day to 19. It Is gratifying to know that the
money thus Invested will prove irredeemably lost.
A Mehtiho or the Americans In London had been
summoned by Mr. Fernando Wood for April 28th,
at the Grosvecor Hotel, Pimlloo, “withreference to
some appropriate expression of sentiment concern
ing the lamentable Intelligence from the United
States.” Ur. Wood’s feelings appear to have under
gone considerable variation since November 1,1859,
immediately after the John Brown raid Into Vir
ginia.
Ahbival of Db. Mackey, or Charleston.—
Dr. Mackey, the head of the Masonic fraternity of
South Carolina, arrived In NewJYork last Monday.
He was the acknowledged leader of the Union men
of Charleston, and often have the few loyalists of
that elty met In his house to talk over the oomlng
happy time when theyeoald again openly avow
their love for the Union. He was suspected by the
Confederate authorities, and his eonneotlon with
Masons alone saved him from personal injury. We
wish Dr. Mackey apleasant visit to the North, and
we are sure that he will meet with a warm recep
tion by his many friendg.
The annexed, from a Pennsylvania paper, In re
gard to the support of President Johnson, by the
Lancaster Intelligencer, we think quite amußlng:
“ The Lancaster Intelligencer promises President
Johnson a hearty support! We like the Idea of the
President receiving endorsement from the Democra
tic party, but, really, the Intelligencer Is almost too
much ot a load to carry. It Is a little too soon; after
a month or two the President will be able to stand
It, bnt not now.”

Washington, May li, 1895. •»
Men yrho tremble and wince before an
ticipated storms are rarely equal to the
hour of danger. Why should we distress
ourselves because of what may come to us
and our country ? The very best remedy
for disaster is to be ready for it. He is no
good business man who does not profit by
experience. And what better teacher for
our guidance could be desired than the
school through which we have passed?
Can there be any one possible question in the
future more difficult and ominous than those
which have troubled the nation, and
been solved by time" and trial ? If. there
should be, it must be graver than secession,.
bloodier than rebellion, more appalling
than civil war. Nor should hopes absurd
be excited because these mighty calamities,
which, foreseen five years ago, would have
filled the land with despair, have not only
not crushed, but have united and pre
served the Republic. Observe how the
great debt that was to cover and crushindus
try and enterprise is already managed and
organized under the generous confidence .
Of the people. Even Jha-ierelgn' casuists
admit that R cicnbe paid, while other and
soberer foreigners hasten, in the midst of
war, to invest their millions in our bonds.
What will these organs say, what will
these interests do, when peace comes
hand-in-hand with prosperity, and a re
stored empire increases our national and
individual resources ? But you are afraid
of negro suffrage ? Well, were not hun
dreds of thousands afraid of negro soldiers
in 1861, and did they not say they would
not fight, and if they did they would be
barbarians, and if they were neither, they
would disgust the whites in the army ?
Why not, then, wait before you rush
into a pasßion over the dangers and
excesses Of allowing the black man to
vote ? We learn rapidly since the events
that were to leaven ages are compressed
into days; and who knows, since he thinks
of that we accept as gospel to-day, what
we may believe to-morrow ? The man
who laughed at the prophet who said the
time would come when he could take
breakfast in Harrisburg, and dinner in
Philadelphia on the same day, lived to ride
on a railroad; and the skeptic who said the
electric wire was the work of a lunatic, is
getting rich on the money he has invested
in the American Telegraph Company. Let
us neither hasten to believe anything, but
at the same time let us not hasten to doubt
and to despair over what we cannot in
stantly understand. Occasional.
. Got. Cnrtln and Pennsylvania Troops.
We yesterday aooompanied Hod. A. G. Cnrtln
and James L. Reynolds, Quartermaster General of
the State of Pennsylvania, to Alexandria and vi
cinity, where the Governor vlßlted a number of the
regiments from his Commonwealth, connected with
the 9th Army Corps. The greater part' of this
corps Is encamped. In the suburbs of Alexandria,
although one division has been stationed tempo
rarily elsewhere. It Is a singular fact, repeated by
a veteran officer yesterday, that In the four years’
service Army of the PotWfikO has Invariably
been attracted towards Washington In the month of
April. Many regiments are encamped on nearly
the same ground they occupied previous to the
departure of the Army of the Potomao, under
General McClellan, for Richmond, In the spring
of 1862. How different the feelings of the
brave soldiers now, however, from those of
the former years! Then all was exattement,
anxiety, and a deep sense of the responsibilities that
awaited them. Now the hardened veterans, the
lithe athletlo and experienced warriors, feel that
their work has heen accomplished, that the white
winged messenger or peace Is hovering over them;
that they have fought the good fight, have covered
theueelvos with laurels, entitled themselves to the
thanks and gratitude of a restored Republic, and
will soon be permitted to visit their loved ones who
are anxiously awaiting their return. Upon Inquiry
we were at.first surprised to learn that several of
tbe Pennsylvania regiments numbered oyer six
hundred men, but we soon ascertained that this waß
owing to the steady reinforcements that had been
furnished. One particular regiment, the 45th Penn
sylvania, will suffloe, we presume, as an example
tor nearly all. This was one of the first regi
ments that entered the army from Pennsylvania,
and was commanded by Colonel Welsh. To-day
It numbers six hundred men. All the original
officers but two, Lieutenant Colonel Theodore
Gregg and Brigadier General Irwin Curtin, (a
nephew of the Governor, who entered the service
as » private in the 45th, was severely wounded in
the arm at Antietam and at Roam’s Station, and
now commands a brigade In the 3d I’lvJslon or ths
9th Corps,) have been gathered to their fathers.
Very few of the original troops remain. This re
giment has probably been over a greater portion of
our eobntry than any other from the State of Penn
sylvania, having done duty In nearly every one of
the Southern States, end will long be remembered
for the gallantry ft has displayed daring the war.
Yesterday all the|soldlers appeared to beta excellent
condition, and having passed through so many ter
rible campaigns ore now enjoying their much needed
repose. The regular routine of drill Is kept up,
however, and gress parade is dally had at six
o’clock In the evening., They are all well olothed,
and provided with comfortable quarters. Every
hlll-stde Is covered with tents, and the old familiar
sound of the reveille, the tattoo, and the Inspiring
strains from many well-trained bands reverberate
through the vales or old Virginia, Generals and
their associate officers have selectedlhelr headquar
ters near the grand old residences whloh abound in
tbe vicinity of Alexandria, and some of the stately
F. F. V.’s, who took the oath at the beginning for
thepnrposeofsavingthoirproperty, after having
encouraged the secession of the State, bitterly com
plain on account of the Intrusion of tbe army upon
their premises.
: Very Ilfile attention has been paid to agriculture,
We notloed, however, a row little patches of wheat
whloh looked very flourishing and which already
proved the adaptability of the soil to the cultivation
of cereals. With an adjustment of our difficulties
and the entire cessation of hostilities In this section
of the country, farming will doubtless be carried on
to a mnoh greater extent than ever. Around and In
Alexandria, some splendid residences, deserted by
their owners at the beginning of tbe war, have been
confiscated and sold for taxes. We noticed yester*
day a neat cottage, of modern style, surrounded
with beautifully laid out grounds, which was re
cently purchased for one hundred and twenty-nine
dollars. Major General Parke ooospios a fine man
sion as his headquarters, In the city of Alexandria.
The scene In the river yesterday was extremely ani
mated. The boats were crowded with pleasure par
ties, and the fish-enemy were preparing to make a
haul of shad, while still further up the stream, at
the arterial, a regiment guards those who have been
arretted for aiding In the fatal ooneplracy which
plunged a nation Into mourning at the very mo
ment when It had the greatest cause for rejoicing.
Governor Cnrtln, with that deep solicitude ha has
alwayß manifested far our troops, desires that the
regiments may be mustered out and paid, not only
In the State, but In the districts to whloh they be
long. If this can be accomplished, It will be most
gratifying to the troops, and will have tbe effeotof
saving for themselves and for their families that
reward for their services whloh they haw so justly
earned.— Washington Chronicle of Monday lest.

BON. ALFRED BEEGHMANB.
Hon. Alfred Bfrghmans, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary to this post for tbe
Government of Belgium, has been recalled by bis
sovereign, to be sent to a higher position at another
oonrt. He will leave the Unitod’States In July.
Mr. Bbbgbkans has been connected w) th the Belglc
legation for seven years past, and was promoted
tome Six months ago to the post vacated by the ap
pointment of hls then chief, Mr. BfiOstDiL, now
minister to Mexico. He is one of the most agree a-,
tie and upright diplomats at the seat of the Na
tlonal Government. His departnre will occasion
much regret, especially among the friends of the
Union eanse, who have been delighted toaeehow
steadily he has sustained their general views.
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PATMENTS.
The steady decline In gold, the easy working of
the whole financial machine, the dally evidences of
subscription to the loans In the South, the opening
of trade with the Southern ports, and the good
news from foreign oountrles, are all so many signs
looking to an early resumption of specie payments.
The man who was arrested on Saturday last OB
the farm of Oolonel Both, near Chambersburg,
Pa., and described In your Issue of yesterday, turns
ont not to be Suratt, bub a German named
Stores. There was a great similarity between tbe
two men. He may be a fugitive from justice, as his
actions would seem to warrant, bnt there Is no
reason to snppoEe him a conspirator.

Tbe CottrC Martial of Harris.
Washiubtoh, May 11.— The oonrt martial for
Benjamin G. Harris, of Maryland, oharged with
violating the 56th article of war In harboring Chap
man and Reed, paroled soldiers of Lee’s army, was
returned to-day, the court having adjourned on
Tuesday tni this time in order to enable the accused
to prepare his argument for the defonoo. Judge
Crane, of Baltimore, counsel for the aooused, eald
he labored under great embarrassments In conduct
ing the defence, not having heard all the evidence
for the prosecution. He had endeavored to ascertain
thelrellablllty of thewitnesees, Chapman and Read,
and had Inquired of all In Baltimore, where the
witnesses professed to live, who were likely to know
anything of them, wlthont avail. Neither the
Mayor, the several provost marshals, nor the ohlef
detectives, knew any thing about the men. Yester
day he had visited General Grant’s headquarter,
and, through the conrtesy of Colonel Parker, had
been permitted to examine the rolls of the 32d Vir
ginia Regiment . The witnesses claimed to belong
to Company K of this regiment, but their names
were not to be found on the rolls, nor was there any
evidence that the said Chapman and Read were
really paroled prisoners. Mr. Harris belngawarm,
personal friend of hls (although differing in poli
tics), and knowing Ms high character and Integrity
SO intimately, he (the counsel) could not bMISVO
him capable of treachery, particularly at this time,
after the surrenderor Lee and Johnston, and the
complete overthrow of the enemy. He would,
therefore, ask to Introduce the rolls of the regiment
to show the unreliability of the two witnesses for
the prosecution.
The Judge Advocate expressed surprise that the
. counsel should ask to discredit the testimony of the
two witnesses because a dozen parties In Baltimore
did not know them. They left Baltimore Tout or
five years ago, and being in humble circumstances,
it was not probable that an; of tbe present offiolals
would know them. The accused had been allowed
every opportunity to confer with counsel, and in no
respect bad hls rights been withheld. The trial,
notwithstanding the small number or witnesses, had
been prolonged to great length, and every raolllty
granted the accused tQf darenoc, Tbs prosecution
had beeifTormully Closed, ana the evidsnos for the
defence was understood to have concluded on Tues
day. To acme lu at this time and ask to Introduce
additional evidence be considered Improper. If the
accused had been In humble circumstanced, or un
intelligent, farther extension might be allowed, but
as be was a lawyer of experience, and had advised
with fonr different counsel, he considered that he
had enjoyed every privilege allotted to him, and
could not properly claim a prolongation of the oase.
He also held that whenever the admission of the
evidence depended upon the discretion of the oonrt,
the evidence must be produced by the defenoe and
examined by the prosecution before the court can
take any steps In relation to It.
The counsel for the accused Insisted on hls claim.
He did not think that Mr. Harris wished to prolong
the trial. He had exerted hlmSOlf to the BWt or his
ability to conduct the defence with dispatch, and
now, in asking foifthe'prlvllcge of Introducing im
portant evidence whloh he knew nothing about un
til very recently, be left It altogether to the court
to decide whether any further favor should be ex
tended to the accused.
The court was then cleared for deliberation, and
npon reopening decided to grant the request, with
the understanding that the rolls were first to
be examined by the Judge Advocate for the purpose
of determining their admissibility as evidence.
A recess was then taken till one o’clock to enable
Gen. Sharpe to produce the rolls.
After the, recces the court reassembled. When
Brig. Gen. Sharpe, the officer designated by Geu.
Grant to receive the duplicate rolls of the men pa
roled In Lee’s army, was called and sworn. He
produced tbe rolls of Corse’s brigade, among whloh
were the rolls of the.B2d Virginia (reoel) Regiment.
Question. Do yon find the names of Sergeant
Richard Chapman and Private Read as members of
Company K on that roll 1 **
Answer. Tbe names of Chapman and Read do not
appear on the rolls.

A Rbvjblatiok —lt has come oat since the con

boxes oT fine manufactured tobacco were destroyed
in secret and out of the way places, where It had
been conveyed by Its owners. One man had a
chimney filled up with boxes at hls a tore on Cary
street, and lost It all. Another had several hun
dred boxes stored away between the joists of hls
storehouse floors, and was equally unfortunate.
A third nailed up a board sheathing uoder hls stair

but tbe fire found It out. The tobacco was hid away
to prevent its seizure or impressment by tbe Con
federate Government, but In escaping one agent of
destruction the owners tbrußt their choice leaf into
the maw of an agent equally relentless. The worst

Sherman rode over to Blohmond, and was at the

A Reunion in Loudoun County#— The Alex

people of JLoudonn county had a reunion, after
months and years of separation, at Lovettsdlle, on
Thursday last. Thousands of those who had been
driven from the oounty met at that point on that
day, and many others who had remained at
their homes during all the trying hours of
the past four years, and enjoyed a reunion
such as Is seldom witnessed in this world.
A flag-staff, 111 feet In height, was raised, after
whloh a beautiful flag, the stars and stripes,
was drawn up and thrown to the bredzs amidst
the greatest enthusiasm. The scene Is described
to ne as one of the deepest manifestations of
feeling. The old flag had been absent so long
that when it reappeared, without hindrance
from any one, there was hardly a dry eye in
that whole vast crowd. Both men and Women
wept like children,and each addltlocaloheerseemed
to grow in volume, until the hills and valleys re
echoed ttiC glad sound of rejoicing. After the en
thusiasm had somewhat subsided* Dr, J, X, Kflg l

platform and made a few remarks pertinent to the
occasion, and was followed by others.
At the conclusion of tbe addresses the crowd re

ADVICE TO OUR YOUNG MEN TO WALK
THE PATHS OF PEACE.
Boston, May 11. —Major General Rosecrans
visited .the Representatives Hall to-day, and at the
OIOS# 9f the session made a speech, in which he
said! "I peroelve in latge letters, in the news
papers to-day, that General Roseorans Is going t 6
raise 25,d00 men to go to Mexioo. General Rose
cress is not going do any such thing. [Applause.]
General Roseorans thinks the soldiers who have
fought this great battle for freedom have done
It with more patriotic motives than have ever be
fore been seen, [enthusiastic applause,] and I do
not think onr young men, who have distin
guished themselves In the annals of all time,
will permit themselves to be misled, or should be
misled from tbelr high and honorable course Into
any bnccaneerlug expedition. [Load applause.]
Tbe General further said he hoped to see pnbllo
opinion directing our young men into the channels
or peaceful Industry, In which h* proposed to sat
the example. I have taken ocoaslon to make these
remarks because I saw, whop In Washington) man
willing to'Start something or other—men whose
advancement hitherto has not been sufficient to
gratify their ambition; but if you examine the
names of those mentioned In the advertisement you
will find they are third-rate fellows, who arc not
worth a snap, and that our common soldiers were
worth dozens of them.”

The protection and development of the great
Territories of the West will sow attraot the espe
cial attention of the Government. From them we
are to look for much of the means wherewith to
pay the national debt, and within their borders
thousands of our gallant soldiers are to find peace
ful and profitable homes. Secretary McCor
mick, of Arizona, Is now in Washington, to
urge upon the War Department the extermi
nation of. the Apache Indians, the only barrier
to the rapid settlement of that Territory. These
savages, now numbering less than a thousand war
riors, are indifferent to all treaty stipulations, and
barbarous in the extreme. Within the present spring
they have killed a nnmbr of the prominent citizens
of Arizona, and tortured several prisoners with fiend
ish cruelty# Many civil and military expeditions
have been made against the ApaChM, but no cam
paign has been sufficiently protracted ami persistent
to be effective. General John S. Mason, now in
command of the military district of Arizona, Is plan
ning a movement which, if fully oarrled out, will be
likely to forever destroy the power of these brutal
and implacable savages. General MoD Dwell has
sent two regiments of California yolunteeers to the
aid of Gen. Mason. Major McCormick says that
with the extermination of the Apaches, and Go
eminent aid to a very reasonable extent in
the opening of roads, the growth, of Arizona
will be such as to surprise the world. He pro
nounces its mines of gold, silver, and copper equal
to any upon the Pacific coast, while in some portions
of the Territory the facilities for working them are
unsurpassed. The agricultural landa of ilo Ter
ritory ar© all-sufficient for the supply of food for
a very large population, and the tame Indians
such as the Pimas and Marlcopas, are only pre
vented cultivating extensive traots of laud by the
presence of the Apaches. There is a mail route
from Dob Angelos to SantaFe, via the 35th parallel,
passing through Prescott, the capital of Arizona,
and one is about to be established from Tucson
to Prescott. A telegraph company has been
formed to extend-the wires from Dos Angelos to
Prescott, and eventually to Santa Fe an 3 Denver,
thus furnishing ft second and most desirable line
across the continent; one likely to suffer much 1©33
Interruption than the line now in use. The Colo
rado river is now navigated by four steamers, which
connect at Fort Yuma with sailing vessels from San
Francisco. Holaday’s new Use of steamers to the
Gulf of California will probably go up as far as the
mouth of the Colorado.
Mr. McCormick has recent advices from Sonora
to the effeotthat the people are determined to resist
the advance of Maximilian, and that the Governor
of that State has a large and well-equipped army.
This information is Important In its relation to the
emigration scheme, which General Bosecrans haß
so promptly repudiated*
A Converted Kebel—Beconstrnctiou in

At a meeting of Southern men In Memphis, re

lows i
Fishhow -Citizens : I am the man who drew up
the ordinance of Secession In the Legislature ol
Arkansas; I have been In the field fighting against
tbe Union for nearly four years, but now I am a
conquered and whipped man. [Laughter ] As I
was gallant In going out to fight, I now propose to
be gallant at surrendering and submitting to the
arms of the Government that we cannot whip.
[Laughter.] 1 have no contempt for Federal au
thority now, If I ever I had. Ido not think there
Is a manly bosom in the South but that has higher
respect for Northern gallantry than when we went
into the fight. There may be some men In the
North who may think that the South had a
hand tn the death of our lamented President,
but I know that the people of the South mourn
over his death, and feel that they have lost a
friend. The North have maintained this con
flict nobly, and the South have nothing to be
ashamed of. I am proud of the South —there Is
something in tbe very atmosphere that makes men
great. So, I gay that Bib south is net »n insignifi
cant people i and If BO great people as they arc can
not whip the world, who oaneot come to the Inevi
table conclusion that tho Nortb Is greater! [ Laugh
ter.] And lam not going to stultify myseß b J ®*f'

our duty to repeat as d go beck to this great national
ohm-cli—recent, get absolution, and be baptized
afresh* f Laughter.] I know we will receive hon
orable and just terms. When I had an Interview
with the President, his heart seemed to be ever over
sowing with love toward the Southern people. We
first went out of the Union and threw down the gage
of battle, and the North picked It up; we fired the
first gun, and took the first fort—Fort Sumpter—
which was taken back a few days ago. [Laughter ]
The North seemed to be unwilling to fight; they did
not think we would fight, and bo we thought of them,
but* tP our sorrow, we have found out different j they
seemed to spring UP like mushroolfiß from all parte
of the earths Before this war I never saw a l edWM
officer hardly. I never felt the Slightest oppression
of the Federal Government 5 In fact, I never thought
wo had one until I went out to fight; then I found
we did have a Government.

THE AMERICAN ANTI-SLAVERY
SOCIETY.
CLOSE OF ITS SITTINB YESTERDAY
A Lively Debate on Whether or Not it
Should be Disbanded.
GARRISON CONSIDERS ALL lIS WORE DONE.
Wendell Phillips and the Society
Disagree with Him.
HE RESIGNS, AND PHILLIPS TAKES
HIS PLACE.
The American Anti-Slavery Society* which has
been in convention several days at the Uhuroh of
the Purltanß, New York, closed Its cession yester
day afternoon. The entire day was taken up with
a debate on the propriety of dissolving the Society*
the advocates of that measure arguing that the
work of the society was accomplished, and slavery
abolished. There were a great many speakers and
much excitement at times, especially as the resolu
tion embodying the proposition waß offered by Mr.
Garrison.
A Rev. Mr. Buokland, of Salem, Massachusetts,
WftS the first speaker* He expressed; the hops that,
the Soolcty would disband, as he bollevftd their
labors were not ended. It they dlßb&hdeti their so
clety, the auxiliary organizations would go with it*
the Boston branches of their Society. They had
been told that slavery was dead, and that the con*
stUutional amendment was passed, and that there
need be no further trouble about the black. Well,
the Government did not think so ; for they did not
proclaim It. President Lincoln did not think so,
because he was afraid the egg would be smashed
before the bird came out. Let them not disband
till the monster was placed nnder their feet. Let
them not disband till they celebrated their trl:
umph over the grave of Slavery. The speaker then
Tevitwed the condition of the colored man in the
South, remarking that the pro-slavery men and the
rebels of Louisiana, Virginia, and other plaees,
were uniting against the black man, and hta rights
were in danger. Ho considered a man was a stave
just to the extent of bis being robbed of his rights,
and contJ&ttfd at length, repeating what he had
eAld before, amid dealing cries of “Order,” and
at last sat down by unanimous consent.
Mr. Bowdltoh Bald they had been organized as an
Anti-Slavery society—and they had accomplished
their work. He believed slavery was djlng and
would surely die. He had bees be rn again twenty-five
years ago—on the subject or slavery—under the In
fluence of William Lloyd Garrison* He was or
opinion, however, that the Society should not dlß
band at present.
Rev. Mr. May said he had given about twenty-five
years of the best portion of his life to the Society
and the holy cause iu which It was engaged* He
wculd be la f&vor of the disbandment of the so
ciety when its work was done, and then it would be
discontinued amid the approval of all good men and
of God, having accomplished its labors gloriously
end honorably. While he sympathized .with the
spirit of Mr. Garrtßoh ? B resolution, he pouid not,
in view Of the present olreuaHt&uces of the
country, consent to have the anti-slavery flag
furled. At the meeting in the Oooper Institute Mr.
Douglass expressed his tears that that Society
would outlive ity usefulness, and that it might in
terfere too muon with, the black man. He asked
them to let the black man alone 5 to let him atone
when he exercised the franchise, to let him alone
when he went to school, and performed the work
neoeß&aiy to his advancement and progress. That
was a sensible doctrine. The American Anti
slavery Society ought to ooutlnue Its work at least
for another year, until it witnessed the complete
triumph of its principles.
Frederick Douglass said that as he had been re
ferred to as speaking upon the disbandment, he
wished to place himself properly before the meet
ing. The first work the Society asked him to do
alter employing him as an agent, twenty years ago,
was to accompany the Fosters Into Rnoae Island to
wage bitter war against the Dorr Constitution, be
cause It contained the word ‘‘white.” Tuey de
feated St, end it was a good afitl-SlftVery work* Nest,
in Massachusetts, the WOIk was do pud sue
shuEetts Society In harmony with the present So
ciety. If It was a good work twenty years ago it is
good now. i
Mr* Douglass wanted to find out whether the con
stitutional amendment is law or not. The work of.
aboiltton w&b not done sq long as the word “ white”
appears im the State laws. The South can make
the freedom of the blaok a delusion,where the negro
cannot testify In a oourt of justice. Northern
gtates—lUifiols, Indiana; and Ohio have done tftlv $
and suoh laws stand on the Southern statute books
to-day. Mr. Douglass had thought for the last
15 years that we had an anti-slavery Constitution,
but we have had slavery all the while. The negro
would never be free till he had the ballot; and that
Massachusetts or any other State which retained
the word “white” in Its Constitution was a slave
State. He did not believe In the loyalty of the
South. It was not worth a straw. They were
‘ loyal” so long as they saw two hundred thousand
bayonets, and he believed that the Americas Anti-
Slavery Society was bdUfid to stand by and see the
salvation of God. This old society, which has sur
vived mobs and statecraft, should coDtinue to exist.
Slavery has been fruitful In names; it has been
called the social syßiem, tue peculiar institution,
the impediment, and we should wait and see In
wbat new skin this old shape appeared.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, had not a word
to say about the dissolution of the Society. He be
lieved that slavery to-day was in its grave. There
was not vitality enough in America to breathe life
into it: yet the dark spirit of that system lives*
But the heel of Amerloa was on that institution;
and it was the duty of all men in the So*
clety and out 01 it to see that the power of the
nation is used to protect the freedmen of the
South. He was in favor of giving the black
man every right that he possessed—the same rights
we all have, and he was in favor of giving the Don
etitutlon the power to protect all the people.
The South must be heps in subnotion by the
bayonet of the white man or the ballot of tbe
black man, and Christianity speaks for the
ballot. He had no faith in the loyalty of the
South, or* its love ror the Union. Is Charleston
the other day he saw one Union man. There are
fifty Southerners in the city to-day buying* goods
who admit that they are defeated, but unsubdued.
Tks work of anti-slavery men is not ended in our
country* Our duty la as clear as the tfftsk of the
sun across the heavens to see that the men we have
emancipated receive their rights. He had reoetved
a letter from a distinguished military man in Ken
tucky that slavery died there April 83. The Legis
lature, no doubt, May 15, will adopt the constitu
tional amendment. He oame to-day to listen, not
to speak, as he had done for thirty years; and
though he had not always agreed with the resolu
tions of the Society, he had its worth and Its value.
Mr. Foster next addressed the meeting. He read
from the Ant> Slavery Standard a report which stated
that President Johnson some time since had de
clared he would sink down the negro race many
fathoms deep If necesß&iy to save the Union. He
deemed that an expression horrible to oonoelve. He
thought they should continue their organization, as
there was much yet to be accomplished.
Miss Dickinson was next introduced. She said she
regretted she had not been of age sufficiently to
havelaboredfor the American Anti-Slavery Society
sinoe is had been founded. Has their work been ac
complished 1 Have they secured the black man his
rights 1 She believed they had not. They had still
a great work before them. So long as people were
ready to hurrah and throw up their caps at the men
tion of the name of Gen. Sherman, or his military
triumphs received eulogy, the work of the Ameri
can Anti-Slavery Society, as the educator, had not
been performed. [Applause.] She had lectured re
cently before a large audience In Baltimore, whloh
she Was told embraced the most loyal or the citi
zens, but there were was not & blaok man among
them, and when she spoke of giving (he black man
tbe b&ilot not one word of assent oame from her
hearers. The blaok did not understand what liber
ty meant, and in his present condition the white
people of the South found him powerless. The So
ciety, she believed, should not disband till they se
cured the colored man all his rights.
Mr. Gariiion said there was no occasion for the
Society to exist an hour longer, as Its work was
done. Some of those who were in favor of continu
ing it, did not help che movement with money, and
were often found hostile to iw interests. His friends,
Mr. Foster and Mr. Phillips, were often opposed t 0
its interests. . ..
The vote on the motion was then recorded, as fol
lows : For disbanding the Society, 48; against, 118.
The announcement was received with loud ap
plause.
Mr. Garrison then tendered his resignation, and
after resolutions were adopted eulogising his leader
ship of the organization since its existence. Mr.
pbilllps was chosen president.
Resolutions in favor of the ballot and lull and
equal rights for the negro, were then approved.
The Society then adjourned sine die.
