Y Dally Register, publishes in its issue f SMSlst fiistan editorial article which, is sot.just in ,. its concep tion; and so intelligent in; 1 its views as to the situation , affairs ia; general in the Southern States; that "we are con strained to give it a'place in our col umns. The article is, in part, as fol lows That the endowment with the right nf miffraffft. without Qualification, of the horde of semi-barbarous blacks ' in t.h Southern States " would result in mnrn or less social disorder, was a con sequence that all intelligent people miiat have foreseen. That sucn en dowment was an error fraught with neril to the well-beinsr of a broad sec tion of the nation cannot be successful- iv dftniwL And at this day the wonder is, not that collisions have occurred be tween whites and blacks in the late slave States, but that, all things consid ered, the troubles nave oeen so iew. Let any fair-minded citizen consider the subject judicially and see where his conclusions will lead. Charles Reade's text, "Put yourself in his place," may well serve as a standpoint. Suppose New York State left by war in the con dition that Louisiana was, for instance, by the rebellion bankrupt, stripped of everything, and in addition her ma chinery of government placed in the hands of half-civilized negroes and an unscrupulous crew of thieving white vultures in human form who swooped down from all quarters to feast and fatten on her substance. Suppose these elements of ignorance and educated vice in possession of States offices and legislative halls, and suppose the pow ers thus obtained were used to the os tracism of brains and honesty, to the levying of contributions upon property, the stealing "of proceeds and riotous living upon the stealings and this is but a pen-picture of the history of more than one Southern State what would New York's intelligent white population do then? In protection of their homes and everything worth living for they would assert their right to control the ship of State, and assert it with a posi tiveness that no - Southern State has ever attempted. The South has been patient under her burdens; and now that the better elements have obtained an upper hand within her borders the result is a steady jrroWth in prosperity. Left to manage her own affairs of in ternal government, she is destined by nature and geographical position, soil and climate, and by virtue of a new born' spirit of progressive industry, to eventually bloom with the fruits of thriftiness and develope into rich and powerful commonwealths, important factors of the republic It now matters not the unqualified bestowal of suf frage upon millions of blacks just lib erated from slavery was a movement calculated to strengthen Republican power, nor does it matter that the weapon has become a boomerang re turning to plague its inventors. It is time to put away party prejudice in dealing with the Southern question The prosperity of the South, which means also prosperity of the North, is the mark to be aimed at. A beggared South is an incubus upon the nation and a disgrace to our people. Congres sional commissions, ostensibly hunting in the South for violations of law, but really having no object except to pro mote partisan ends by magnifying lo cal evils and engendering sectional hate, are entitled to no respect, especial ly when such soulless scoundrels as J, Madison Wells are employed to suborn and pay those who furnish the necessa ry testimony. There is evidence enough from reputable sources to show the spirit that-actuates the honest people of the South in their efforts for the ''common good. The above is said, and well said, by way of introduction of an outline of the proceedings of the recent conven tion in Charlotte of Northern settlers the South, which proceedings, we may remark en. passant, have gone so far and wide that thev can never be over taken nor their good effects destroyed by any number of those men and news- pspers who, for political purposes, may wish to make it appear that this con vention was i political movement, call ed and rim iri the interest of the Demo cratic party, T M3lUm AUD PRINCIPLES." ' ThEaleigh'' News ' says that, empty 1 honor as it was, the Republican nomi- nation for United States Senator , was not secured by. Judge, .Buxton, without a struggle, CJ6L Keogh (whom The Ob- server is alleged to have sneered at in calling Mm the chairman of the al leged Republican State executive com mittee) having been a formidable rival. "What defeated the 'Greensboro ring,' says the News, "was the determination of such native Republicans as Everett to make politics '& grand conflict be tween brains arid principles.' " V MrEverett is' young and innocent. - He has yet to learn that he has nothing '.. .to do: .with .. the . making of Republican . politics in North Carolina. Mr. Keogh does "that same."

The speaker replied that it was not, but that the gentleman could reach his object by voting down the motion to go into committee, but this the House re fused to do 99 to 63. Accordingly, at 12S0, the House went into committee, (Cox, of New -York, in , the chair,) on the postoffice appropriation bill. After adopting several amendments, at 4:40, the committee arose and the House ad journed. COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS. The joint committee on the advisa bility of transferring the Indian service to the War Department met this morn ing. All the members were present. The vote resulted four in favor of and four against the transfer. There will therefore be two reports submitted to Congress: One will advo cate a complete transfer and the other will oppose any change in the present system of Indian management, except possibly by enactment of a law which shall grant the President discretionary power to place wild or hostile Indians under control of the war department. The finance committee took no action on the tobacco question to-day on ac count of no quorum being present St. Martin was further examined by the Potter committee this morning. In reply to Mr. Cox, with reference to the indictments pending against him, he said he was not arrested for his offen ces, and added that if there was any doubt as to his good character, any gen tleman present might learn in an hour the, exact opinion of .eminent gentle men in Louisiana in regard to his so-1 cial standing. He mentioned Governor Nicholls, the district judge, attorney general, and sheriff, as persons to whom the committee might telegraph for in formation. He said, with regard to the first indictment against him, that no action was taken, and on the second he gave himself up to the sheriff, and was released on bond, but the grand jury found nothing against him. The letter mentioned in his testimony yesterday as having been received by Weber from Mrs. Jenks was with reference to the Sherman letter. Mr. Cox then asked witness various questions in reference to statements made in his affidavit, among which were answers to the ef fect that Weber had told him that there was no such document in existence as the Sherman letter. Weber also said in conversation with witness that if he found he could make nothing by testi fying to the non-existence of the Sher man letter, he would go over to the oth er side and swear he witnessed its de struction. Weber endeavored to per suade witness to testify to the destruc tion of the document, but he would not do so. He wished it distinctly under stood by all concerned that he had no rear ot telling the truth. Witness testi fied that Weber told him that he receiv ed $1,000 from Carter and Maddox while m W ashington. He could have found the witnesses returned as " not found " had he tried to do so. St. Martin said every witness who appeared on the stand in Louisiana was watched close- y by himself and Weber, and agree ments made with them before the issue of their subpoenas were in this wise carried out. Every man who testified had been previously posted as to the ground upon which he was to base his testimony. 1 1 Chairman rotter exhibited a series of telegrams purporting to have passed be tween St. Martin, in New Orleans, and Gibson, in Washington. St Martin identified all as having been signed bv him, but denied having written them. The telegrams requested ,Gibson to set tle the Weber school board case with out delay. Upon Gibson's refusing and telegraphing St Martin that he was only wasting money in telegraphing, that he (Uibson) wanted no statement from Weber, and that blackmailers could not affect his actions, a final tele gram was sent by St. Martin accusing Gibson of being a liar, thief and scoundrel, and stating that his (Gibson's) friends, Maddox & Carter, were as bad as he and that he (bt Mar tin) proposed putting Ihem in the peni- lenuary, wneretney ueiungeu. ah repiy to Mr. Reed, witness said Maddox, on arriving at New Orleans from Wash ington, told him he knew he (St. Mar tin) did not send tne telegrams referred to, but that they were sent by Weber.
