Dear Sir : -Familiar with your do
sire to resuscitate Southern industries,
I am confident that yon will give your
interested attention to any enterprise
pointing in that direction. Responsi
ble purties here have under considera
tion a plan of IMish colonization and
are now looking about for a proper
placo to establish such a settlement.
Their preferences incline them towards
Virginia or Central North Carolina. I
havo personally urged upon them tho
superior advantages of your State for
tho class of emigrants they intend
bringing over, and am of the opinion
that, if favorable arrangements could
be eifected, they would fix upon North
Carolina. They desire a tract of 0,
000 acres of land, partly in timber and
partly arable. The soil should bo fer
tile, adapted particularly to the growth
of the cereal and well-supplied with
water for stock. As mills will be need
ed, there should also be good water
power ou the tract which should bo
within twelve miles of some railroad.
Tho prico of tho land should not, if
possible, range above one dollar, and,
in no event, above two dollars per acre.
It is Intended to make a small cash
payment, tho balance to bo paid in in
stalments bearing interest, during tho
periods of one, two, three, four and five
years, and to bo secured by mortgage
on tho laud. Tho security will be in
creased by tho improvements made on
tho land by the settlers, so that the
original owner can iu no contingency
suffer loss. It is not necessary for mo
to hint at the immense benefits which
would accruo to your State from the
influx of honest, industrious, moral
and skilled farmers, such as tho Poles
aro known to bo. They are a thrifty,
intelligent and temperate people, agri
cultural in their tastes aud peaceful in
their habha. . The great Northwest is
be cut oil from tho wealth of their en
ergies. If you know ol aiy tract suit
able for tho purposo indicated, by in
forming mo of tho fact, you will confer
a favor on me for which I shall bo
deeply obliged.
Yours, respectfully,
M. J. McKknna.

The' beauty of Northern Radi
cal consistency was illustrated at New
burgh, N. Y., recently. This town has
a largo Radical majority, and voted to
thrust negro governments and negro
equality nay worse upon the South
ern people; and because we refused
to take tho negro to our firesides, our
tables and our family circle, i; accuses
us of a " heathenish spirit of caste."
But reverso tho picture ! Forty res
pectablo colorod ministers attended tho
Conference of the African Methodist
Church at Newburgh. Were they ta
ken in, fed, entertained and luflowl ?
o-
Let us seo! The local paper says these
forty respectable clergymen " were
quartered among tho colored people at
tho expenso of the whites." Ah ! we
expect as much ! Newburgh needs
reconstruction, needs a negro mayor,
postmaster and tax collector. . There is
too much " heathenish spirit" prevail-
ing there.

following decision of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue has been made

Wa rpsnectfullv direct tho attention
of the Tribune to the statements of our
Georgia correspondent respecting al
ledged political murders in that. .State.
The Tribune has endorsed the demand
of Wendell Phillips and his fanatical
frierds for tho interference of tho Ex
ecutive in tho affairs of Georgia, on
the ground that active Republicans
have fallen victims to "rebellious hate."
The cause of Ashburn, Ayer, and Ad
kius have been singled out for special
comment as illustrations of capital
crime perpetrated for political reasons.
In every indictment against the Geor
gians these casos aro adduced as proof
of the perils that surround Northern
i .... L .!
"loyalty and patriotism in uieir
midst. These falsehoods and delusions
are ruthlessly dispelled by tho tale this
morning told by our Georgian infor
mant. Sew York Times.
1UE MUKDER OF ASUBUKX, AYER, AXD aD-
KIX'S.
From the Georgia Cor. of the X. Y. Times.
Politics have no moro to do with the
murders which have taken place in
Georgia than the religion, dress, height
or personal appearance of the victims.
Ashburn was killed by tho company
which usually frequents negro houses
of ill-fame, of one of whioli ho wao uu
inmate. Ayer was killed by a negro
who had refused to allow him to be
cfno a boarder in a negro lodginir
bouse. Both Ashburn and Ayer were
men of abandoned character and most
profligate habits; and, however, for
1 . i . . i .1.
greater political empnasis uieir names
may be paraded as tho " Honorable"
Mr. Ashburn and the " Honorable"
Mr. Ayer, those who know their histo
ry, if they tell tho truth, must admit
that long before either had any politi
cal aspirations no decent negro would
havo permitted them to associato with
him. Adkins, who is represented by
the writers of sensation romances for
political eifect as a venerable preacher
of tho Gospel, was also a notorious cie
baucher. Tho negro amours aro mor
numerqus than the number of his
years. He was at one time a Baptist
exhorter, but for many years, since his
example was found to square so ill with
his precepts, he has been regarded as
a very disreputable, livpocnto, witu
whom nobody but tho lowest and most
abandoned had any associations.
These aro the facts, which can be cor
roborated by tho testimony of thous
ands, whose word nobody who knows
them Avould heitato to believe I would J
not depart from tho rule to say nothing
but good of the dead, if it were not
necessary to protect the living against
cruel misrepresentation and wrong. Is
it anything surprising that a man who
takes up his residence in a negro bro
thel, and has no associates but those
who frequent such places, should meet
a violent death ? Is it wonderful that
a man who has fallen so low as to be
even refused admission to a negro
boarding-house, aud who was known
to havo 89eral hundred dollars on his
edarntf 1 WHnUtt anUbe&. jia 'L avk-yVire
negro cabins asking for a placo to lay
his head? Or is it so unnatural that
one addicted to the lowest profligacy,
and who, it is proved, made indecent
overtures to a rospuctablo young lady,
should fall a victim to tho anger of tho
friends and relatives of tho insulted
girl ? It is true that all three were
Radical politicians. It is true that they
were brutally murdered. But they
were nuudered for their vices by somo
of thoir vieiou3 associates ; or, a9 in
the caso of Adkins, they were murder
ed by those whose honor and tho sanc
tity of whose family they attempted to
outrage. Let any man select tho same
society and character of residence in
any part of tho world, as did Ashburn
and Ayer, or let him pursue the same
habit of lifo as did Adkins, and tho
wonder would be that he should die a
natural death.

Nashville, May 31
The uuiversal theme of conversation
here is the franchise, and how it is af
fected by tho recent decision of the Su-
j.iciuu v-ouii ui xrownsvnie. Judge
Shackelford, of tho Supreme Bench,
arrive, in Nashville to-day, and from
private conversation with that gentle
man it is made certain that the decis
ion is as broad and . sweeping as the
people of the State could desire. It
was unanimous by the court. Under
tho decision every man who has receiv
ed a certificate, w hether from the coun
ty clerk or register, is entitled to vot..
This decision will expand the franchise
at least forty thousand. County clerks,
under whose supervision registration
was conducted under the first law, are
getting blanks printed for the purpose
of issuing duplicates to those who have
lost their certificates.
William B. tokes, one of the candi
dates for Governor, has gone to Wash
ington for the purpose of consulting
with his friends as to the policy of an
nouncing himself on tho platform of
universal suffrage; and tho late Su
preme Court decision has driven Gov.
Senter, the other candidate, to East
Tennessee to consult his friends as to
the situation and the policy best to be
pursued. It is evident that one or the
other must come out on broad and lib
oral principles.
The Conservative press all over tho
State is opposed to running opposition
candidates either for Governor or the
Legislature. Tho universal expression
is for liberal Republicans who will go
lor universal suffrage. 5
There is a lull just now in the can
vass. Both Stokes and Senter aro
measuring strength and getting ready
for the combat. It is evident that
fctokea has nearly all the conservative,
moderate Republicans on his side,
with a largo proportion of negroes.

Washington, June G.
The speech of Lord Clarendon last
Thursday evening on the Alabama
claims controversy, is regarded here
as a fair expose of the positions the
liritish government will assume at the
outset of any negotiations that may
hereafter be commenced. It remains
now to be developed what course 3Ir,
Motley will take, for, except some
general instructions known to
have been given him, and which have
been briefly stated in these dispatches
it is upon good authority asserted that
very much is left to the discretion and
judgment of our minister, lie has no
power, however, m the premises other
than was substantially imparted to
lion, lleverdv Johnson.
The best advised here believe that
if the government, as at present organ
ized, shall -succeed in concluding a
treaty, it cannot, vary materially lrom
the one recently rejected, ami that
this administration does not expect to
. t . ... ...
predecessor In that direction. The
whole subject has been forced upon
the present executive by a party,
through its representatives in Congress
simply that that party shall have the
credit if possible, of concluding" the
treaty. It was unhesitatingly men
tioned here by radical Senators just
after the late rejected protocol was
submitted t the Senate that they
would not permit the Johnson admin
istration to settle the controversy, no
matter hHf-r.-erfect soever the treaty
might happen to be. To what extent
Mr. Fish vil be governed by the mere
opinion of such profound statesmen as
Thayer, who echoes Sumner, is not
positively known., of course, but we
have sath.fac.ory assurance that the
Secretary of State proposes to be gui
ded by his own ba ( judgment which
judgment thusr far does not accord
with some of the o-calIed "great
points " in Mr. Sumnci's oration.
Attorney General Hoar has surprised
some of his Jegal acquaintances by
portions of his argument i.nd the final
conclusion in his opinions just promul
gated relative to the military trial of
Weaver in Texas. No one denies that
if the facts of the alleged murder vere
asset forth in Judge Hoar's opinion,
Weaver should pay the penalty with
his life, but. it is regarded as lamenta
ble that a lawyer of the Attorney (jen
eral's standing, having the question at
his disposal, should commit himself to
the opinion . that the judgment of a
military commission, sentencing a cit
izen to be hung, shall be carried out,
when the record shows that a regular
ly organized civil court having juris
diction of the offense had taken cogni
zance pf thq,. case, its grand jury had
indicted the? alleged offender, and the
court was ready and willing to try hin
by jury in the mode pointed out by
the Constitution. Mr. Hoar's argu
ment and deductions as to the dura
tion of the' war in contemplation of
law, his coistruction of the Supreme
court decision in the Milligan case and
other points, not here necessary to re
cite, are pronounced fallacious and
untenable. Oa the whole, Mr. Hoar
has, in this effort, failed to make a re
putation as a second jurist.
President Johnson had this case of
Weaver unilti consideration, and it
was for a Una expected he would dis
approve the nilitary proceedings be
cause of thei? utter illegality ; but un
der the recaistruction acts, which he
felt bound to obey until declared void
by a tribunal, the President had no
authority to direct the accused to be
turned over to the civil authorities.
The Executive, under the act of Con
gress, was limited to a simple approval
or disapproval 6f the sentence of a
military commission. As the proof
was strong against the prisoner, Mr.
Johnson cmld not bo a' party to his
release, an4 therefore returned the pa
pers to the Secretary of War without
any order. '.
President Grant has submitted to the
Attorney-Crineral, for his opinion, the
status of Georgia.
hether m view
of the complications in her case, the
muddle thereon into which Congress
was plunged at' the last session, the
conflicting position of the radical lawgiver.-;,
IJntler and Wade, the latter's
unwilling admission of the wrong in
tended to be perpetrated in counting
electoral votes, the admitting repre
sentatives to seats and the rejection of
senators &c &c. ; whether all the cir
cumstances, and under the reconstruc
tion acts, Georgia is a State within the
Union.
The object of inquiry is understood
to be that the ex-Executive may deter
mine what action, if an he can or
sRould take upon the suggestions of
the radical partisans, who want Geor
gia placed under martial law.
The National Theatre opens for a
short season to-morrow evening, and it
is expected a test case will be made
under the ordinance just passed by the
city councils forbidding distinction
among the auditors on account of race
or color. Should the same become a
law by the mayor's signature, the man
agers of theatres are determined, if
any colored person applies for seats
among the white folks, to refuse gen
erally. The colored people do not ask
or desire the privilege, but the per
turbed radical spirits will not rest until
the white man and the black shall sit
down together.

Washington, June 2.
Tho Washington city council and
board of aldermen have enacted an or
dinance providing that there shall be
hearafter no distinction madeou account
of raco or color in the admission and
privileges of places of amusement, and
ne";roes are therefore to have seats with
tho audience indiscriminately.
The mayor has not signed the ordi
nance, but will certainly do so. Some
interesting litigation is in embryo on
this question. The proprietors of thea
tres vul not submit to the literal prac
tical effect of this municipal law, and as
soon as some person ot color leels in
clined to go where he is not welcome,
and take a seat among white folks, the
case will likelj go to the courts
Among legal men there is unanimity in
the opinion that finally such litigation
will result in a judgment against the
colored person who shall seek martyr

The Pacific Railway Swin
tile.
Tho public is a good deal vexed, bu
SP' YS.IY STSily surprised, by the action
fixincr their freight and nassemrer
charges at rates which are siniply an
outrageous extortion, and which will
tend to restrict rather than to encour
age commercial movement over the
route.
The Central company have fixed
their passenger taritf at ten cents a
mile in gold ; and their freight tariff at
fifteen cents a ton per mile in gold,
which is equivalent to 105 per ton
from Sacramento to Promontory Point.
The Union Pacific charges are on the
same preposterous scale.
The Sacramento Union newspaper very
truly declares, at these rates, the Pa
ciiic railway will not transport a thou
sand tons a year., of Asiatic goods to
the Mississippi valley. At these rates,
or even one-haif or one-third of these
rates, the grand How of commerce from
the Pacific toward tho Atlantic, of
which every one has been indulging in
bright anticipations, will prove to be
tho most ' baseless fabric of a vision
that human imagination ever created.
It is quite immaterial to the owners
of this prodigious railway 'monopoly.
They have got some forty or fifty mil
lions of dollars clear profit out of the
government bonds that built it, and
they have got the millions of acres of
land along the line which were given
them as a bonus for doing so much to
enrich themselves. The lands will
keep up the market value of the rail
way stocks to a high figure, even should
the road not transport a pound of
freight or carry a single passenger in
the next twenty years. Why . should
they invite tratfick, which would only
serve to more speedily wear out their
rails ?
The road, moreover, is in no condi
tion to do business. The report of the
government commissioners establishes
the fact that it will require an expendi
ture of many millions, upon both roads,
to bring them up to the requirements
of the law. It appears to be the pur
pose of the companies to levy whatever
it will cojt them them to fulfill their
original bargain with the government,
as a tax vpon the commerce and travel
that may be compelled to seek this
route. 4
It is an unmitigated outrage, against
which the public voice ought to be
raised in united and indignant protest.
Protestation against a swindle so fla
grant would probably have no effect
whatever upon the companies. But it
it may be that Congress, which has re
served some sort of right to iuterfere
in the premises, can iu that way be in
duced to see, what the people must
now see very clearly, that in emptying
the public treasury into the pockets of
I'acinc railway companies, the country
has been magnificently sold.r-Sat. Intel

Revolutionary Proceedings
of the Volunteers They
Now Control the Island
Exciting Scenes and Inci
dents. Havana, June 2 Via Key West.
Gen'l Palaez, whose life was threatened
by the volunteers, went to Cienfoegos,
but the volunteers there refused to allow
him to land. He was compelled to re
turn to Havana, and on his arrival the
volunteers demanded his life, because-
he sold his country, asserting that he
had received 120,000 to allow the reb
els to escape from Narcisse. Escosara,
Chief of the Administration, and Senor
Diarr, Secretary of Dulce, succeeded in
compromibing the affair with the vol
unteers, and further outrages wore pre
vented. Yesterday evening the volun
teers were greatly excited and assembled
betore the CJaptam General s palace
and shouted "Death to Dulce." "Death
to Pelaez." This morning a commission
rom the volunteers entered the palaco
and demanded Dulce's immediate re
signation, declaring that he was allied
with the traitors ; his resignation was
soon after announced.
No act of violence was committed
The volunteers now have full control,
and are really the governing: power of
the Island. Several 'Governors . and
civil officers of high rank accused of
connivance with the rebels will be im
mediately relieved. The insurgents in
several recent encounters gained slight
advantages over the troops.
Havaxa, June 3 The volunteers in
Matanzas assembled befere the Govern
men palace and demanded the immedi
ate resignation of the Governor of Ma
tanzas ; their demand was acceded to.
Col. Leon is now acting as Governor.
No outrages wer committed.
The city of Havana remains exceed
ingly quiet, but the public anxiety is
intense.
A special steamer has been ordered
to convey General Dulco to Spain, aud
it is expected that he will depart in a
day or two.
ADDITIONAL.
New Yobk, June 3. A special to the
Ileral from Havana says : When the
volunteers demanded Gen. Dulce's re
signation, he asked that time be allowed
him to receive a reply to his telegram
for instructions from Madrid. His re
quest was refused, and at nine o'clock
tie surrendered the omco. Ihe volun
teers then dispersed.
Matters will probably remain quiet
until Gen. Deltoda's arrived from Spain,
although Gen. Espinar is powerless
against the volunteers.
The fillibusters who recently landed
at the Bay of Nipe escaped to the inte
rior, leaving behind them some mate
rial of war, including four guns, for
want of transportation.
Government accounts of the affair at
the Bay of Nipe are much exaggerated.
The landing of the filibusters causes
a depression in business. The Spaniards
are uncertain of the future. Tho
steamer Montezuma reports having!

150O Fruit Trees Mali
ciously Girdled.
From the letroit Post, Jay 31.
A few nights since, at Lentou Har
bor, tit. Joseph county, Michigan, in
the great fruit-growing region of this
State, the orchards of Mr. Martin
Green were visited by a gang of ras
cals, who girdled 15U0 peach, cherry,
apricot, plum, pear and apple trees,
valued at $20,0u0. The trees were in
full bloom, and covered with a mass of
blossoms. It was evidently intended
that the work should be thoroughly
done, as the trees were hacked and cut,
and the bark peeled off with a malic-
lous care. lue community was arous
ed, offered $15,0Uj for tho arrest of the
perpetrators, and set to work to repair,
as lur as possible, the evil which had
been done, b ive or six hundred trees
were regarded as utterly hopeless.
The whoio legion was laid under con
tribution for rags and grafting-wax.
The grafting-wax was heated in large
kettles; women and children stripped
and dipped the rags, the tieo-surgeons
tenderly closed the gaps in the ragged
and torn bark, and bound the orifices
closely with the bandages, afterwards
painting the whole liberally with the
hot wax to exclude the air and protect
the repairs that must be left to nature.
It is surmised that the failure of the
Western Transportation Company, with
which Mr. (ireen was connected, - may
have been at the bottom of it. The
people declare that there are enough
trees remaining in that section to hang
the authors of this extraordinary vil
lainy, should they ever be caught.

We hear he has not been among his

Well, who can blame him. Men are
said to be social animals, and Laflin
partakes of the characteristic of his
kind. If he should go to Pitt there
are but lew white men who would asso

should call in his free passes, on the
railroads of the State by failing to inako

The Governor's proxy has had some
hard lessons in good manners while
traveling by rail. On one train ho was
required to apologize for allowing his
dog to drink out of the cup used by
ladies. Un another occasion, a conduc
tor collared and scared him at a proper
distance from the ladies, who were an
