THE EFFECT .OF NEGRO SUFFRAGE
ON THE SOUTH.
111 reorganizing the Southern States, the
'first essential requirement is that society
shall be placed on a basis which will be at
once firm, harmonious, productive, and
practically loyal to the Federal Govern
ment. We can deal only with acts ; and if
the people observe the requirements of the
<Constitution, pay their taxes, obey the
laws of Congress, and refrain from overt
'acts of treason, it matters little, what are
their opinions of dead issues and past con
flicts. We want them to yield prompt and
peaceful obedience to the Federal authori
ties, and to such State authorities as may
be established hereafter among and by
- themselves. If they persist in rebelling
against State Governments, they will be
come almost as troublesome as if they re
belled against the National Government,
because it is the duty of Congress to " sup
press insurrections," even when they aim
only at subverting legally established local
authority. The question of negro suffrage
should therefore be considered in its relation
to tins important responsibility as well as in
its numerous other aspects. Some of its
zealous advocates contend that if the
colored race is not permitted to participate
in their local governments they will be
oppressed almost as much in a state of
nominal freedom as they were when held
as slaves ; that, consequently, they will re
volt against their oppressors, and perpetuate
-a dangerous agitation. This argument is
partially answered by the efforts being
made by the Freedman's Bureau to secure
justice to the freedman. The Emancipation
policy having been adopted by the National
Government, it is morally bound to secure its
complete and undisputed establishment;
and this duty will doubtless be faith
fully and fearlessly performed so long as a
necessity for Federal intervention, to en
force whatis virtually a Federal law, exists.
But it is at least questionable whether if the
negro were thus completely liberated and
protected in all matters appertaining to his
natural rights, or, in other words, put in
the same legal position as the peasantry of
England, he would rise up in rebellion
simply to gain political privileges. The ex
perience of the world on similar questions,
ini this and all other countries and ages,
- renders it
, improbable that there would be
frequent revolts to gain the right of suf
frage. There have been thousands of in
surrections based on many kinds of
real or fancied grievances, yet very
few ever originated simply in a desire
to vote. In OUT own country the Consti
tution of Rhode Island practically excluded
poor white men from the ballot-box for
many years before the Donn revolt broke
out, and in South Carolina they do not ap
pear to have ever earnestly demanded it. We
do not state these facts as an argument
against free and unrestricted suffrage, but
simply as an illustration of the readiness
with which the mass of mankind have
habitually refrained from seeldng, by rebel
lious demonstrations, the great privileges
which most of the States of our Republic
- wisely and justly extend to all their white
citizens.
We think it safe to assume, then, that
the peace of the Union would not necessa
rily be disturbed hereafter, if the Southern
States were reorganized without negro suf
frage, simply for the acquisition of that
right, per se. On the other hand suppose
we insist upon universal negro suffrage as
an essential requisite in reorganization,
we must then accept, among the logi
cal consequences of such a constituency
their elevation to offices of all descriptions,
for it is impossible to expect any class of
voters to perpetually proscribe their own
race and color. It is within the bounds of
possibility thatin South Carolina and Ipssis
sippi, whose colored population outnumber
the whites, a negro Governor and a majo
rity of negro legislators may be elected.
The most, probable political combination in
such an organization is precisely that which
President JbMICSON predicts, viz.: that the
large slaveholders and the rich and aristo
cratic classes who have heretofore ruled the
South, would combine with the negroes,
from whom they are too widely separated
by social influences to engender jealousy
or personal rancor in either race ; and in
-a party of this material the whole
political power of a number of the
Southern States might be eventually
lodged. The masses of Southern white
non-slaveholders have a much more intense
animosity to the negro than many of the
white men of the North, and it would be
-almost impossible to array these hostile
classes at any election polls in support of
,the same ticket. In the North, there have
been repeated instances of the influence
which antipathies of race among men of
the same color exercise upon our political
contests; and this strong feeling, intensified,
must naturally be anticipated, if negro suf
frage is established by Northern power and
influence in the South. It should be re
membered here, too, that the few Southern
men who have remained truly loyal are al
most unanimous in their opposition to negro
suffrage. If we establish it, loyalty and dis
loyalty will no longer be the dominant issue
in the South. We will precipitate a political
conflict of races, which will be liable at any
moment to break out into open local civil
war, without any reference to antagonism
to the Federal Government. Its rights
have been so triumphantly vindicated that
all parties must soon abandon further op
position. to them as foolish and hopeless.
But the antipathies of race, unjust and
wicked as they may appear to the humane
and enlightened, are so deeply rooted_ that
we should scarcely-deem the experiment a
very safe one anywhere in this country,
which arrayed in opposite parties of about
equal numbers whites and blacks. It is
well for the humanitarian, who is chiefly
interested in the welfare of the latter, to
consider, too, whether the political tri
umph of the negroes, after a heated party
contest in the Southern States, would not
be one of the most questionable benefits that
could be conferred upon them. Practically,
we know that the negro has submitted to the
domination of the whites. Is it equally
certain that the whites will submit to the
domination of the negroes ? Will the peo
ple who rebelled against the Federal Go
vernment, simply because their right to
extend slavery was threatened, quietly sub
mit to be governed by negro voters and
negro officials ? Can we create such Go-
vernments - without expecting to sustain
them perpetually with Federal bayonets ?
Some very strong arguments in favor of
negro suffrage have been adduced by its
friends, but the subject should be carefully
considered in all its betuings, before final
conclusions are adopted. In the practical
'workings of government the prejudices of
a people must •sometimes be consulted, as
well as pure reason: The greased car
tridges of the British Government caused
the Sepoy revolt. Nothing could be more
absurd to a Christian, yet nothing was more
reasonable and inevitable to a worshipper
.of Brame..
A DISGBACED JUDGE.
•The PArancnwron Ministry has received
-a heavy blow, which, no doubt, will tell
strongly against it at the General Election.
The House of Commons has passed a
strong vote of censure on the Lord Chan
cellor of England for misconduct. He has
really been condemned for a nepotism
which is almost without precedent—the
natural desire of a man to put his sons and
other near relations into offices of high sta
tion and large emolument. The motion
was carried Without a division, and " amid
loud cheering," and the result was the re
signation of the Lord Chancellor, which
the Queen has "most graciously" accepted.
Lord WESTBURY, of course, will have the
usual retiring pension for life of $25,000
per annUM.
On the death of _tad CAnrnm, four
years ago, Sir B W D•BETHEL, Attorney
General of England, born in 1800, was ap
pointed to succeed him as Lord Chaneellor, ,
and took his seat "on the woolsack as
Baron Westbury. Hi s patent of peerage
bears date June 21, 1851, and in the Court
of Chancery be proved himself to be a very
able equity lawyer. As presiding officer of
the House of Lords, he was aggressive,
contemptuous, saucy, and overbearing. As
the Irishman said of another man, "he
conciliated a great deal of hatred" in his
own person. The Lords greatly.disliked
and scarcely tolerated the parvenu peer.
We take it for granted that some of our
contemporaries, with the usual audacity of
ignorance, will say that since the malfea
sance in office of Lord BACON, (as he is
usually but incorrectly called,) there has
been no instance of an English Judge
being thus condemned for corrupt con
duct. They will scarcely mention, for
perhaps they do not know, that THO
MAS PARKER, Earl of Macclesfield, ap
pointed Lord Chancellor of England in
1718, having been impeached by the House
of Commons in 1725, was convicted of
having sold certain lucrative chancery
offices to incompetent and irresponsible
Persons, and with having been otherwise
corrupt, and for money. He was tried and
convicted by ninety of his peers, without a
dissentient voice, and condemned to pay a
fine of $150,000, to be imprisoned in the
Tower until it was paid. Of course, he was
turned out of office. Lord WESTBURY,
more lucky, will. retire, without trial, on
the usual pension of $25,000 a year.
AUTOGRAPHS.
Not long ago, autograph-collecting was
generally sneered at as the "Autograph
Mania," but a more liberal estimate is now
made, and it is conceded that the collectors
have rescued from destruction a great many
documents which have not only personal
bit, frequently, even historical value. For
example, the original Magna Chute, grant
ed by King JonN, in the year 1215, and
generally considered to be the " Charter of
Liberties" upon which the social and poli
tical freedom of the British people is based,
is of the greatest value. It bears the seal
of the King (who could not write,) and of
a large number of the nobles, and is now
to be seen in the British Musenm. Yet
this identical document would have been
lost but for the observant good sense of an
antiquarian, who was also a collector of
autographs. Having occasion to visit his
tailor, he found that artist about cutting up
a piece of old parchment, to convert it
into "measures." On examination, the
parchment was recognized as Magna Charts,
was rescued from destruction, and was sur
rendered to proper official custody, as the
property of the nation.
By the way, there are two originals of
Magna Charts in the Cottonian collection
of manuscripts, in the British Museum, and
this has puzzled many persons—like the
duplication of OLIvER CROMWELL'S skulls ;
one being shown in the Ashmolean Mu
seum at Oxford, and another in Cam
bridge ; the latter, being comparatively
undersized, was represented, by a former
exhibitor, as "the head of CuomwEnn—
when he was a boy." The fact is, both the
copies of Magna Charta are original. Many
copies were made, in 1215, for distribution
among the counties, and a copy was sent
to each cathedral, and ordered to be pub
licly read therein twice every year. The
most accurate and complete copy is that
still preserved in Lincoln Cathedral, and a
facsimile of this has been engraved by
order of the late Commissioners on the
Public Records of England. The Great
Charter, as well as the Charter of the
Forests, is in Latin. It may seem strange,
yet is very true, that Magna Charta, ex
acted by the nobles of England from a
King who desired to be more absolute
than they liked, was specially framed to
preserve their own rights and privileges
in a word, to give power to the nobility
and the landowners. The word "villein,"
'Which denotes the mere cultivators of the
soil, mechanics, and poorer classes, occurs
only once in Magna Charts, which in
cluded all freemen generally. As the vil
leinage gradually disappeared, and the serfs
became freemen, they came under the pro-
tection of the Great Charter. -
The collection of autographs has induced
various persons, in this and in other coun
tries, to deal largely in them. Here, the
trade has not yet become extensive, but a
great deal of money changes hands, on this
account, in London, Paris, Vienna, and
Berlin. Every dealer in a large way of
business publishes priced catalogues, alpha
betically arranged, in which each specimen
offered for sale is specifically described,
choice sentences from the most interesting
letters extracted, frequently with com
ments, and sometimes with general memo
randa about the writer. We have before
us, through the politeness of Mr. Jonit
PRICINGTON (who will soon have the plea
sure and advantage of being our neighbor
in South Seventh street,) the last number
of Mr. Joint WALLER'S Catalogße. Near
to Temple Bar (on which, even during the
last centur3 the heads Of executed traitors
were exposed to the gaze of the multitude,)
Mr. WALLER'S book-store is to be found.
It was established, for the sale of autographs
and books, as early as the year 1821,
and every autograph collector in 'Europe
knows the place.
The catalogues always distinguish the
quality of the ware, by designations which
are abreviated in this manner : A. L. S.,
autograph letter signed ; L. S., letter signed ;
D. S., document signed. There ought to
be a fourth class—the simple signature. Of
this last we give a few instances, from
WALLER.
The first article in his new catalogue is
the signature of Prince ALBERT, the late
husband of Queen VICTORIA, described
thus : "Envelope with Black Border and
Royal Seal, addressed to the Duke of Wel
lington, FieldMarShal, etc., signed ALBERT;
interesting specimen." The price is three
dollars.
Four autograph lines from VroTonta. to
the Duke of WELLINGTON, merely signed
" The Queen," and a dinner list, which
she had signed "V. R," eighteen months
before her marriage, are put down at nearly
two dollars each. A. document signed and
annotated by the Duke of WELLINGTON,
during the campaign.of 1815, is priced at
two guineas and a half, and the mere sig
nature, with his left hand, of NELSON, at
three dollars.
A letter from "Tim Bobbin," (alias
.Tonn COLLIER) who wrote amusing and
satirical verses in the Lancashire dialect, is
marked at $6, which is not much, as speci
mens are rare. A long letter from the
Earl of BUTE, who was the first Prime
Minister of GEORGE the Third, is set down
at four dollars ; it is addressed to Sir JAMES
WRIGHT, minister at Venice, and instead
of politics, relates to pictures, articles
of Virtu, list of plants and seeds for the
Abate Forcetti's collection, and speaks of
the exotic garden of Kew, as the richest in
Europe. "I have been for these ten years
getting plants and seeds from every corner
of the habitable world."
A letter from THOMAS CARLYLE, with
only his initials, written last August, is one
dollar, and says: "I feel painfully your
situation,
but can do nothing to better it. I
enclose a draught of five poundk, altogether
the last I can afford for that object." A
long letter from Dr. Cipumzus, the great
Scotch preacher and author, is marked so
low as five shilling& A legal opinion, eight
Coax, the great Eng
lines, by Sir EnwAR D
lish lawyer, who died in 1634, is nine shil
lings. It is signed with his initials only.
The full signature would have quadrupled
its value. A. single-page letter from Sir
Jour; CoTE., who was defeated by "Bonnie
Prince CHARLIE," at the battle of Preston
Pans, in 1745, is set down at three dollars.
This is a low price for an autograph which
is very rare.

FRED TENNYSON, Sir DAVID WILKIE, the
painter, and several more of the modern
notabilities, are rather cheaply priced at
the average of a British crown for each
specimen.
Among the curiosities are a Power of At
torney signed, sealed, and witnessed by
WILLIAM FALCONER, author of " The Ship
wreck," (who was lost at sea,) and sub
signed by his wife, JANE FALCONER. It is
probably his very last signature, and is
cheap at three dollars. There is only one
autograph of FALCONER in this country, we
believe and that is in possession of Mr. C.
L. WARD, of Towanda. The signature o.
CORNET JOYCE, who captured CHARLES If
without a regular legal warrant, and who
was accused, by LILLY, the astrologer, of
having been the masked executioner of the
unfortunate monarch, is unusually rare, and
not dear at six dollars. A poem of five
pages, by COLERIDGE, called " The Foster
Mother's Tale," and certified to be in his
handwriting, is priced twelve dollars, which
is reasonable, as his autographs go. A
note from the Rev. Dr. DODD, who
was banged at Tyburn for forgery, is noted
at a guinea and a halt We have only,
seen DODD'S autograph twice. Notes by
THACKERAY—one with a pen and ink
sketch of Beatrix (see " Henry Esmond,")

Notes from George IV. are $4 each ; also,

page note. The signature of WILLIAM
PENN, with those of seventy-six other
Friends, on November 11th, 1690, is priced
at three guineas and a half ($18,) and the
document itself is the marriage certificate,
duly witnessed, "of ALEXANDER. PATER
SON, schoolmaster, of London, and RE
BECCA TOMPKINS, of Aldersgate street,
London, at a public meeting of the people
of God called Quakers, at Peel, in St.
John's street, Middx." It is on vellum,
and extremely curious.
Mr. WALLER, usually very correct in his
memoranda, occasionally, blunders. For
example, he puts down DT. WILLIAM MA
GEE, Archbishop of Dublin, and author of
" Discourses on the Atonement," a most
valuable Christian work, as " the original
Sir Morgan O'Doherty of Blackwood." The
similarity of sound has misled the worthy
bibliopole. Dr. WILLIAM MAGEE, the Arch
bishop, was a very different man from Dr.
MAorrukt, the most learned Bohemian
that ever was connected with the British
press. Again, referring to a letter from
THOUS Mooiui, the poet, to JoHN MUR
RAY, the publisher, in which mention is
made of the dedication of " Don Juan" to
Sourirxv, in "simple savage verse,"
by BrnoN, Mr. WALLER. says that
this dedication " never appeared in
print." As it happens, it was published by
Moonn over thirty years ago, was included
in MURRAY'S seventeen volume edition of
Farnori's Life and Works, and, as we write,
we have it before us in the beautiful single
volume published by MURRAY in 1857. It
is dated, " Venice, September 16, 1818,"
consists of seventeen stanzas in the "Don
Juan " or " Beppo " measure, and com
mences—
"Bob Southey! you're a poet—roet-la.ureute,
And representative of all the race."
By this time, no doubt, all the gems in
this catalogue have been disposed of. But
we have enabled such of our readers as
collect autographs to know, what the trade
prices are now in London. They are
Dinh higher in Paris and Vienna.
TICE BARE FACT that Great Britain ha
bitually advocates and systematically urges
upon America the adoption of a free trade
policy, should be sufficient to arouse our
suspicions of its wisdom. The advice of
our trans-Atlantic kinsmen has never been
very valuable, and it has become pecu
liarly distasteful and obnoxious since the
rebellion disclosed their real animus. Trade
interests govern English policy. When
she held us as subject colonies, she crippled
and controlled our commerce and indus
trial interests in the most barbarous and
tyrannical manner, sending to us slaves,
whom we did not want, simply that her
shipowners might,gain large profits by an
infernal traffic ; forbidding us to establish
manufactures, which interfered with her
home establishments ; and limiting our mar
kets abroad
,by despotic laws. >She then
refused to us free trade, that would have
benefited us, and is now anxious to have
us establish a free trade that would enrich
her manufacturing interests at the expense
of our own. America is too strong and
vigorous to require !he teachings of any
other nation ; but, if she did need a Men
tor, she could not select a more dangerous
and selfish one than England.
THE TRAGEDY IN CHICAGO.
Return orMrs. Terhune,-Strange Scenes
zit the Bedside of the Suffering Girl—
Impertinent and Revolting Curiosity.
The papers of Chicago are filled with the
most disgusting and shameful comments and
incidents concerning the late tragedy in that
city. From one of our Chicagd exchanges we
'take the following :
The capacious appetite of the gossips is now
being thoroughly satiated upon the late Ter
bune-Fransted stabbing affair, which affords
the most delicate food for inconsistent wives
and rakish husbands. Men and women of re
speetable name and fortune flock to the room
where the victim of an outraged wife lies
suffering from the wounds inflicted by jeal
ousy. They meet there a vulgar crowd—
women of the town, and their admirers, in all
conditions of life. The couch of the sufferer
is hoarly surrounded byan inquisitive rabble;
shutting out the pure air of day, and exciting
the feelings of the wounded female by the
most gross and vulgar remarks.
A dashing brunette, whose womanly curiosi
ty bad brought her to the sick chamber, on
Wednesday, was venting her terrible impre
cations upon the tread of Kra. Terhune. On
being asked if she thought the woman before
her bad any right to rob Mrs. Terhune of her
husband's affections, she gayly replied, in hear
ing of the patient,that she had a perfect right,
"it she was smart enough to do it."
Instead of proving a lesson to women who
seek daily to gain the affections of men who
have quiet and loving, wives and families at
home, thereby estranging them and breaking
up their happy domestic relations, this affair
seems only to have excited their vulgar cu.
riosity. Among those who visit Miss Fransted
daily, are the happy wives of devoted hus
bands, who go to see the woman whom they
can think of only as a monster. Conscious
that in their paths are lurking the same class
of females, and seeking daily to rob them of
their husbands, they look upon Miss Fransted
with utter loathing. To them Mrs. Terhune is
a heroine. They can imagine her despair at
having her home invaded, and the angel of
content driven out by the demon of nidoll
- They may have felt •something
of the bitter pangs of jealousy which burned
in her heart And, alas I they may fear that
some woman is even now sharing their hus
band's affections, and quietly but surely steal
ing their peace, and undermining their happy
home.
Of such persons as these, is the crowd that
has daily visited Miss Fransted's room since
the fearful tragedy occurred. And still she is
kept lying upon a narrow couch, in an office
as public as any store in Chicago, a spectacle
for the curious multitude to gaze upon. Why
is she not removed to her own quiet rooms,
for it is known that she has such in this city?
Why is she kept where the nauseating fumes
of an apothecary-shop would soon stifle the
nerves of a well woman? It is singular that a
patient suffering from such a horrible wound
in the eye should be kept in a light room, •
the wound uncovered. It had the ap
pearance, yesterday, of being badly inflamed,
and yet everybody was allowed to gaze at it.
A deep cut so near the brain will prove fatal
if allowed to gangrene as brain-fever will be
the inevitable result: Undoubtedly Miss Fran
sted has all the care possible where she now
lies, but she should be removed to a quiet
place at once, and the blinds drawn down
between her and the curious tnrong.
Miss Fransted was in a very depressed state
of mind all day yesterday, and suffered terri
bly from her wounds. It seems almost impos
sible for a female to recover from the terrible
shock she has received, to say nothing of the
mental sensations. She is in mortal fear that
Mrs. Terhune will find her way to her bedside,
and finish the job she has begun. At every
step on the stairs, yesterday, she would start
nervously, fall back upon her pillow, and en
quire if it was her! This was not delirium,
but actual, sensible fear of a woman she has
given 'cause to hate tier. She appeared con-
Sci Ons of this, yet refused to speak of her re
lations with 9 .ltir_ Terhune. She has engaged
Mr. 111: D. Brown, No. 120 Dearborn street, as
her counsel, who will at once commence a suit
against-both Mr. and Mrs. Terhune for de-.
- wages.
The regular examination will come off before
Justice T. 13. Brown, on Saturday, the district
attorney for the prosecution. Two suits will
thus grow out of the affair, which will excite
much interest, as they will be warmly and ably
bust:doe& by the different , counsel. The only
defence that .Mrs. Terhune will attempt to
make will be that of justitication on the part
of an outraged wife; and Just here is suit of a
field for two fluent attorneys to expatiate upon
at length, which, being their oulyone, they
will not fail to do pretty thoroughly. It is
understood that Mr. 'Terhune has some pro
perty, which the suit for personal damages Is
brought to secure for the now almost sightless
women, whose duplicity was the direet cause
of the sad event.
Mrs. Terhune was yesterday morning set at
liberty, three gentlemen signing a bond for
her appearance at court. It, is understood that
they know nothing of Mrs. Terhune person
ally, but that they became her surety at the
urgent request of her attorneys. Their names.

A special despatch to the Missouri. Democrat,
dated Springfield, July 15th, says:
At the meeting of the National Lincoln
Monument Association to-day, the following
address was presented by Governor Oglesby,
and adopted by the Association:
" STATE OF ILLINOIS, EXECUTIVE MANSION
" SPRINGFIELD, July 14, 1865.
" (ffieers mid Soldiers of our Armies, and O f ficers,
Marines, and Sailors of our Navy:
"Ey the Board Of Directors of the National
Lincoln Monument Association I am requested
to make an appeal to you to aid the noble
enterprise we have in view, to erect over
the remains of Abraham Lincoln, our late
President, a suitable and enduring Monu
ment to his memory. I have chosen the pre
sent auspicious' time to do so. Your duties
voluntarily assumed, the National Govern
ment are about to terminate. You are return
ing from victorious campaigns and from
a war now happily ended, In which, with
him, you were all engaged to save our
country from division, destruction, and
ruin; returning to enjoy the fruits of vic
tory, won under his chief direction as the con
stitutional head of the army and navy—your
constant, steady,and faithful friend, your wise
adviser and your companion in all the trying
and annoying difficulties which go to make up
the life of the soldier during the frightful
period of real and terrible war. Thousands of
you have already been honorably mustered
out of the service, but many thousands mote
are awaiting and preparing soon to be. Your
organizations will all in a short time have
only an historical existence. You arc to be
scattered all over a peaceful country in
homes made happy by your own noble ef
forts. Yon live to enjoy in all its splendor
the liberty of a nation that cannot die;
but be whom we chiefly honor has not been
spared to realize the splendid results, the
hopes of every day for four long years, nor to
meet and encourage us by his kind salutation:3,
by his ahnost infinite wisdom to counsel -duct
direct us through the perils of political strife,
almost certain to follow the sudden return of
peace, the flight of which four years ago
brought men to their senses and upset the
trade of those who alwirys sought, and always
will, to Create discord for personal advance
ment, Is it not fit, then, soldiers and sailors,
officers and men', that you who have been so
long in this close relation to this great and
good man, should emulate the generous Spirit
of all those regiment% and companies 'who
have sent contributions to our association to
the amount of many thousands of dollars,
for the purpose stated and in like manner, as
they have done, send us contributions in such
SUMS as will be reasonable 'and yet of suffi
cient magnitude to warrant ' the universal re
putation you have for liberality, as regiments
or companies, before your organizations are
broken up or as individuals afterwards. Let
the monument we shall raise over his dead

ever long in its construction, be the work of a
nation, the kind Offering of every branch of
industry, of education, of religion, of the arts
of commerce, of every State and Territory,
of all grades and shades of life, and all ele
ments of our society; but especially let
every soldier anti sailor who bore the bur
dens which have made this man immortal,
add to its dignity the sanction of their volun
tary support and the encouragement of their
endorsement. Let it be said that the same
men who fought his battles and bore high the
colors of the Republic, brought garlands to his
grave and offerings to his memory. Let us ad
mit the debt of gratitude a generous people
owe their noble dead. It is proper that you
should be especially informed on the subject ;
indeed, it seems to be required. that all the
facts of our history, organization; or success,
should be made public again, that there may
be no misunderstanding, no two ways of talk
ing about how, when, and where the Menu
ment is to be built. The association was or
ganized finally on the 11th of May, 1865, at
Springfield, Illinois, under all act of our-Legis
lature, approved February . 24, 1852. The arti
cles of the association are in compliance with
that law, filed in the office of the Secretary of
State, and are public records.
Anrier.r. 1. This association shall be called
The National Lincoln Monument Association,
and be located at Springfield, State of IllillolB,
and shall continue in. existence for the term
of twenty . years.
Any. 2. The following persons shall be the
directors of this association during the first
year of its existence : Richard T. Oglesby,Sha
ron Tyndall, 0. IL Miner, James H. Beveridge,
Newton Bateman, John T. Ste Wart, Jesse K. Du
bois, 0. M. Hatch, Jas. C. Conklin, Thos. J. Den
nis, John Williams, Jacob Bunn, R. H. Melvin,
Samuel H. Treat, David L. Phillips, allof whom
are members for twenty years of the associa
tion. We have obtained from the city of Spring
field a deed to about four acres of most beautiful
ground, on which Mr. Lincoln now lies buried,
near the city of Springfield, adjoining Oak
Ridge Cemetery, accessible at all seasons of
the year, with such a location and such-ad
vantages as to make it at some future time
one of the most lovely and enchanting spots
upon earth. There is a perfect agreement be
tween the association Mrs. Lincoln and the
family of the late President, as to the location
of the grounds and the special place where his
remain& are to finally lie. We shall, in a short -
time, prepare the vault for his final resting
place, and as soon as the subseriptione shall
have reached a sum to justify something like
a correct estimate, we shall decide and make
the necessary preliminary arrangements for
beginning the monument. We have now in
the hands of our treasurer over thirty thou
sand dollars. As fast as contributions are re
ceived they are, by order of the Board of Direc
tors, invested in interest-bearing Government
Securities. It is our intention, at the proper
time, to consult the very best taste and talent
in the country as to what shall bathe material
for the monument ; what shall be its size, form,
'construction, and cost; but we desire, above
all things, first to secure such a sum of money
as shall justify us in erecting, if possible, a
monument which, in every respect, shall tit
and appropriately illustrate and perpetuate
the life, character, and Virtues of Mr. Lincoln,
*bile both our national taste and wealth shall
be represented by it. James H. Beverly State

The Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruther
ford. Railroad.
We are advised that the Wilmington, Char
lotte and Rutherford Railroad will be fully re
paired and opened for traffic from this city to
its western terminus during the present, or
early next week. This work has been prose
cuted with commendable energy, and the re
opening of the road will.throw into the hands
of our merchants a large amount of produce
that has for more than a year been awaiting a
market, and so greatly stimulate the business
of the town.
The Charleston papers contain an advertise
ment of the reopening to-day of the Northeast
ern Railroad throughout its whole length.
The Wilmington and Manchester Road, con
necting with the above at Florence, and form
ing the old-established through route between
this city and the. South, will be fully repaired
and reopened to the public in about thirty
days. A very large force of workmen is em
ployed upon this line, and no efforts are being
spared to expedite its completion.
A notice appears elsewhere in this paper
calling a meeting of the stockholders of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company,
preparatory to putting themselves in a posi
tion to receive their line back from the
Cevernment. We understand that the Go-
NT.rnment has signified its readiness to turn
this road over to the company whenever
the company shall be qualified, under the
terms of the amnesty proclamation, to re
ceive it.
Thus probably: within sixty days at farthest,
all our lines of travel will be re-established,
and Wilmington will once more be upon the
great highway from the North to the South
and on the line over which the great through
mails are transported. Then will our busi
ness receive a new impetus, and prosperity
indeed will dawn upon us.— 'Wilmington Herald,
Ttilt 10th.
A Strange Pantsament4
(From the Augusta, 6hroutele, June 30.3
The lower market-house was yesterday the
scene of much amusement, mingled with
some excitement. The cause of all this was
the carrying out of the sentences passed upon
the white man and negroes feund guilty of
robbing Messrs. Maude Wright's store a few
evenings since: Four negroes and one white
man were convicted of the crime—the negroes
for stealing the goods, and the white man for
receiving the same, knowing them to have
been stolen. .According to the sentence, the
entire party were placarded and placed upon
the tops of barrels from GA. M. until 6y. M.
for two days, and afterwards serve a long ap
prenticeship at hard labor in Jail.
One of the negroes had a placard upon his
front stating, "I am a thief ;" the next one to
him bad one upon which was written "So am.
I." The other two negroes who were standing
by the side of those above named, had similar
placards, one stating, "I will steal," the other,
"So will I," and all four had placards upon
their backs, upon which were written, the
word "thief."
The white man's placard read, "I received
stolen goods!" but he was not able to stand
the punishment inflicted, being taken with a
fit shortly after his arrival at the market.
house, and notwithstanding the efforts made
to restore him, by those present, he did not
seem to give any signs of recovery at the time
we left the scene of punishment. There was
a large crowd in attendance during the day,
who seemed to be greatly pleased by the no
velty of the scene.
The Health of Wilmington, N„ C.
The Wilmington, N. C. Herald publishes the
following remarks in regard to the health of
that city : ,
Gentlemen from Wilmington assure us that
there has been no case of yellow fever in that
place,. and the old citizens of the city are all
enjoying as good health as is usual for the
season. There has been a great deal of sick
ness among the negrees and soldiers, but there
is not a single ease of spotted fever in the
town.—Raleigh Record, July 7.
It is very gratifying to us to have to notice
the magnanimity and courtesy of our contem
poraries in allparts of the State in so prompt
ly correcting the erroneous reports that have
gone abroad regarding the health of this town.
Certainly within four years there has been no
time when at this particular season the health
of Wilmington has been better than now. One
effect of the evil reports in directing trade
from us was noticed in our lost issue. One of
our leading business firms, at present absent
in the North, has written to their agent here
advising him to close up the business and get
away from the pestilential vicinity. This il
lustrates the extent of circulation the report
has obtained. Of course, the agent referred
to smiled at the groundless apprehension and
alarm of his principals.
An evil report always travels faster than
any other. Therefore it la that we are so
pleased to see our Contemporaries seeking to
undo the mischief they have unwittingly
wrought us. We trust the example of tub
Record will be promptly followed by all per
sons and journals who have aided in destroy
ing the awakening prosperity of the town.

lions that greeted us as we Wended our way
to the Vine-street ferry for a short trip to the
city by the sea. The two o'clock train was
filled with a goodly company—family groups
being in the ascendancy. By the convenient ar
rangements of the Camden and Atlantic Rail
road Company, whole households can have an
opportunity to spend a delightful Sabbath at
this favorite resort without interfering with
their accustomed attendance upon 1)0E10
worship.
How beautiful, on this pleasant Sabbath
morning, ass we sit under the shade of the
trees in front of the United States, to witness
the crowds of people who are passing in front
Of us with their small Bibles, hymn-books, and,
prayer-books, to their appointed places of
worship!The waves seem to beat more gently,
and the sun to shine more brilliantly. It may
be fancy, but methinks we all feel better on
this one day in the seven.
Several churches of diffe.rent denominations
are opened to-day for divine service; and
thus the religious pOrtion of our community
can sing the same hymns of praise, and offer
up as heartfelt prayers, as well in the plain
painted wooden church, with its whitewashed
walls, as in the huge masses of brown-stone
masonry, with frescoed arches and colored
window-panes, that adorn and beautify our
own dear city ; in fact, there is a solemnity in
attending public worship in this place which
can scarcely be felt in the fashionable churches
of Philadelphia.
The plainness of the place of prayer, and the
majestic ocean breezes wafted through the
open windows, serve to heighten the interest
in the preacher's theme. The murmur of the
waves, with their never-ending song, arise,
and swell the chorus'of the hymn of praise as
it ascends up to the throne of the great
Creator,

of gaudily decked damsels, puffy old bache

issuing from the rough, unpainted frames,
called bath-houses, that line the beach. Old.
Neptune beckons them to his embrace with a
dash of spray and a flood of joyous tears. Bow

and what a queer scene for a painter I

How we envy her stern partner, with
his faultless moustache and superb goa

and their joyous, merry, ringing laughter
attests their appreciation of Neptune's plea

its long white tables glittering with glass and

citizen, who officiously seats you and blandly
inquires what you will have. You give him the
order ; after waiting a reasonable time for its
appearance,and not finding it forthcoming, you
become naturally indignant, and scold several

who smilingly inform yoti that he will be there

A SHOWER.
It has commenced raining; the drops fall
thicker and faster, and we hasten to a place
of 'Shelter. A small, sharp shower and it is
over. The churches have been emptied, and
all is life again on the avenue. Pleasant
parties are formed in every convenient locali

passes pleasantly along. The hour is growing
late; the sky is Again overclouded, and the

IX THE LAND OF DREAMS
The good night is said, and we are soon
drearaing away of fair-haired creatures with
beautiful eyes, and ugly girls with magnifi
cent dresses. Our thoughts take a wider turn
and we think of our pleasant bonne, with it„A
fair occupants; we bear the welcome sound of
the little• prattling feet, and the little voice
singing its little song of love. Again we think
Of all the scenes of this weary,joyous, inter
esting day. We have a horrid thought—we
hear the locomotive's whistle as it passes out
of the depot on its shaky trip over the swamp.
We think of all these, and jump out of bed to
and that we have been the victim of a night
mare, and that we have scarcely time to par
take of a • slight breakfast before the train
leaves which is to bring us back again to the
loved ones at home. Crry Cousis, Ja.
THE CHICAGO FAIR.—T. B, Bryan, Esq., Presi
dent of the Executive Committee of the North.
western Fair, announces that the publication
of a detailed statement of the receipts of the
fair,ha.s been delayed till the accounts of ail
the chairmen of the different departments
could be finally adjusted ; that the net pro
ceeds of the fair will probably exceed two hun
dred thousand dollars,and that a full report
will be published within a few days.
Dir. Bryan desires it to be announced to those
asking for aid from the fund, that not one dol
lar has passed into his hands.- He says: "A
special finance committee was appointed to
determine the division of the fund, and by their
decision the Christian Commissibn wIII receive
fifty thousand dollars (150,000),_the 'Sanitary.
Commission and the Soldiers' Home to share
the balance equally. The treasurer has paid
one installment of the Christian Commission's
share ; and also fifty thousand dollars ($50,000)
to the Soldiers' Home; a further division is to
be made by Mr. Elatchford on his return to the
city a few dare hence. It is proper to state
here (w h a t is known to our own citizens) that
not one dollar of the fair money has been, or is
to be, paid to any of of the executive com
mittee, male or female, as compensation for
services, directly or Indirectly; the officers
having even voluntarily paid for their own
tickets of admission to the fair."—Chicago

HORRIBLE MURDER OF A WOMAN AND CHILD—
TDB TURKS MURDERERS Kthrato.—We are in
formed that a horrible tragedy took place in
Madison county, about four miles from Lon
don last week:, but our informant could not
give names. We recite this awful story as we
heard it. A farmer sold his farm to three
men, who g-ave him $15,000 cash in part pay
ment. In the evening he walked to London,
leaving his wife and child at home.
Some time after, a peddler, who had Often
stayed all night at the house, drove up and
asked permission to remain, but the farmer's
wife declined, because it was doubtful if her
husband returned that night, and she knew
there was a largo amount of money, in the
house. She remarked to the peddler that if
her husband returned he would probably meet
him. The peddler drove on, met the farmer
and returned. As they approached the house,
the farmer observed a light in a room in which
he usually kept his papers, and remarked to
the peddler that there were burglars in the
house.
The peddler produced a pair of revolvers, and
the two, stationing themselves at points where
the burglars would probably attempt to es
cape, gave the alarm, and three men rushed
out. The peddler killed two of them, when the
third ran towards the farmer, who killed him.
Upon entering the house, the farmer was her,.
rifled to find Ids wife and child murdered.
When the bodies of the murderers were exami
ned, it was discovered that they were the par
ties who bad purchased the farm that day, ono
of them being brother-in-law to the farmer.—
Dayton Journal.
He Uwe No FRURIDS.—Two gentlemen from
Georgia, says the Atlanta Intddivencer, made
an appeal to Mr. Seward, the Secretary, of
State, to the effect that some privilege promo
tive of his comfort and health should be be
stowed upon the Hon. A. H. Stephens, then
and now a prisoner, as our readers know, in
Fort Warren. The Secretary kindly assured
them that he would institute proper inquiries,
and if it could, the privilege solicited would
not be withheld from the distinguished pri
soner. "But, gentlemen," said the Secretary,
eyeing them keenly, "have you not a word to
say for Mr. Dirvisl—no petition to present for
him V' Surprised and confounded, our Geor,gia
friends hesitated, when the Secretary quickly
remarked, Since his (Mr. D.'s) arrest, save
from Mrs. Davis, not one appeal has come
from the South in his behalf:,
