Negro Balls. It is with no desire to com
plain of the action of the negro as a free man, as
Jt matters not what he does so it'is not contrary
to law and order, and when he does this a com
plaint may justly be made- Many are coming up
from ditterent quarters from citizens in reference
to the manner in which negro balls or parties are
conducted. It is stated that in nearly every in
stance when there is an assemblage of this kind,
and there has been a number of late, they gener
ally manage to get whiskey among them and
break it up with a row, ofen j greatly annoying
the whole neighborhood around where they may
be. The class of negroes frequenting these par
ties or balls, are reported of very bad - character
generally, or rather of the lower class, and when
dnnking it cannot be expected that they will be
have themselves, but as they do not, or have not,
they should be made to do so, or a stop put to
their proceedings. At, nni of thws -nlaces on
V ednesday night knifes and pistols .were flourish

THE STEAMSHIP EUTERPE.
AOSellCe Ol Intelligence
; Regarding Her.
PAINFUL APPItEEiEif SIOXS Iff
THE COiTIMUlf ITY.
The steamer Euterpe, from New York for this
port, is now over due here sixty hours or more
and as yet her agents in this town, Messrs. Har
ris. s &. -Uowellhaye received no tidings from her.
The ? publication of the special' dispatch in .the
evening edition of This Hteraed of Wednesday,
announcing that she had put into Beaufort in
distress, for a short time relieved the anxiety re
garding her ; but when it became known that her
agents had received no similar advices, doubts
were suggested as to the credibility of the dis
patch that had been transmitted to ns. Sympa
thizing to; a lafge extent in these doubts, we iin
nceiiately telegraphed to Beaufort for further in
telligence but received no reply. Yesterday we
caused two dispatches to be sent to Beaufort in
regard to the matter, but at noon were informed
that the telegraph' lines ,were out of repair, and
no communication was to be had..
- .We cIde? probable that our correspondent
at Beaufort baa , mistaken the vessel. We base
this probability solely on the absence of dispatches
to the consignees of the vessel coincident with
those to us received previous to the break in the
lines. This break will in all probability be re
paired by this morning, when, if the vessel does
not answer for herself, definite information can:
be obtained. , '
The Euterpe, it is known, sailed from New York
on her regular time, last Saturday. She had an
unusually heavy passenger list, embracing a num
ber of citizens of Wilmington, with one or two
entire families. Since her departure from New
York a strong north easterly gale has prevailed
along the coast. It is possible that the heavy
weather she encountered induced her captain to
run into some friendly port farther north where
she yet' remains wind bound ; or she may have j
stood but to sea to ride out the gale,, arid from its
continuence been forced an unusually great dis
tance from the coast. Throughout yesterday the
gale still continued outside, and the sea was so
neavy on .the Dar up to o o clock last evening
that it would have been exceedingly dangerous
for any vessel to attempt the entrance. Indica
tioni at this place later in the evening were that
the storm had abated ; and we trust that to-day
will set at' rest the painful uncertainty attending
the . absence of this favorite, and, in this instance,
doubly precious vessel.
The Euterpe is one of the best vessels m the
trade between this port and New York. She has
been on the route longer than any other, and has
invariably performed her trips with regularity,
always arriving in port punctually on time, and
occasionally a little ahead. She is a staunch,
sea-worthy boat, officered by seamen of acknow
ledged ability and great experience. If any mis
fortune has befallen her it will be attributable" to
causes beyond the possibility of human skill or
energy to prevent. Again we express the hope,
either that our advices from Beaufort of Wed
nesday were well founded or that the favorite
craft mavi herself come into port to-day, to set
at rest the apprehensions that prevail.
ANOTHER ROBBERY.
A Store Broken open and Five
Hundred . ollars' worth of
Goods Stolen.
That there are a gang of robbers in this city,
and they Of the most accomplished class, is no
longer a doubt. It was only a few nights since
that a private residence in this city was entered
and a few articles of minor value stolen there
from. On Wednesday night the store of Mr. J.
C. Koch, situated on Nun- and Third streets, was
entered by thieves and 'about five hundred dol
lars' worth of goods taken away. One of the
staples that holds the bar of the front door was
prized from its place, after which the store was
at the mercy of the thieves. A track of a dray
or wagon was on the morning after discovered
near the door, but anything leading to the de
tection of the thieves or the whereabouts of the
goods had hot transpired up to last evening.
This may be recorded with the boldest thefts yet
heard of, and demonstrates the necessity of a
more guarded watch on the part of the officials
and the people themselves, i There is nothing ap
parently more easy than to reach these depreda
tors upon the property of citizens, if some ac
tion were taken towards it. It must be done
sooner or later, else their successes will lead them
to more outrageous performances than any yet
made.
The Theatre. There was but a small audi
ence at the theatre last evening to see Miss Cramp-
ton as "Medea, the Colchian Princess". It must
be a great satisfaction to her to know that it was
appreciated. We have no hesitation in pronoun
cing it one of the nnest pieces ot acting ever seen
in Wilmington from any actress. Nothing could
have been better than her ideas of the different
passions of love, hatred and revenge, as exhibit
ed in .this performance.
To-night is to be played the "Angel oi Mia-
nicrht:" a verv DODular sensational drama. Ine
piece has drawn large houses wherever performed
and is specially recommended to lavor r.ere.

GOOD ADVICE FIMM A REBEL
OFFICIAL.
Reagan's Advice to the Teiaus.
HE RECOMMENDS SUBMISSION.
Bcncf its of Negro Suffrage Urged.
J. H. Reagan, postmaster general of the late
confederacy, who has just been released from
Fort Warren during his confinement there wrote
: a long letter to the people of Texas, from which
we extract those portions which are of general
interest :
The state occupies the condition of a con
quered nation. State government and state sov
ereignty are in abeyance, and will be held until
you adopt a government and policy acceptable to
the'conqnerors. A refusal to accede to tnese
conditions would only result m a prolongation oi
the time during which you will be deprived of a
civil government of your own choice, and contin
ue subject to military rule. And it would do more
than these u it would keep questions of the gra-
vest character open lor discussion ana agiumun,
and by degrees accustom the whole country to a
sort of military government, and result in the
establishment of a military despotism, without j
bringing, you any nearer to the attainment of
your wiahes than youu are at present, in oraer
to secure to yourselves again the blessings of
local self government, and to avoid military rule,
and the danger of running into military despot
ism, you must agree : "
. First To recognize the supreme authority of
the government of the United States vithin the
sphere of its power, and the right to protect it
self against disintegration by the secession of the
states. 1 ' ' " " " ' "
And, second You. must recognize the aboli
tion, of slavery and the right of those who have
been slaves to the privileges and protection of the
law of the land.
For whatlcan see, this much: will be required
a the least that would be likely to satisfy the
government, and secure to you the benefits of
civil government, and - the admission of your

pwaaces nvncate that this will be required br
northern public sentiment and by congress. And
our feople are in no condition to disregard that
opinion or power with safety. But 1 am per
suaded yon may satisfy both without greater in
jury to yourselves than has already occurred.
If you can do this, and ecure yourselves liberty,
the protection of the constitution and the laws of
the United States, and the right of local self
government, you will be more fortunate than
many other conquered people have been. The
government and the people of the northern states
will, I have no doubt, recognize the necessity of
your securing these blessings, as important to
the whole country, as a means of preserving to
it constitutional liberty and the present form of
republican government.
This is new language to employ in addressing
you, and will be as unwelcome to vou as it is
sorrowful to me. But it would be" more than
folly it would be a great crime for yon, and I,
aricl those who may be charged with the dutv of
reorganizing and restoring the state to the union,
to refuse to recognize the facts of your situa
tion, however disagreeable, and to speak of and
deal with them with candor and directness.
To the conferring of the elective franchise on
your former slaves I anticipate a stublorn
and sir cere opposition, based on the igno
rance of the great mass of them, and on their
total want of information and experience in mat
ters of legislation, administration and everything
which iertains to the science of government,
and upon the pride of race. And this objection
may be sustained by pointing to the examples of
Mexico, and of the Central American and South
American states, where, by the enfranchisement
of the Indians and negros, and all others, with
out reference to race, or mental or moral fitness
for the exercise of these responsible rights, they
have been deprived of the blessings of peace,
order and good government, and involved in an
almost uninterrupted series of wars and revolu
tions, often of the most cruel and barbarous
character, for more than half a century, with no
prospect of an amelioration or improvement of
their condition.

the demands of justice and fairness, and satisfy
the northern mind and the requirements of the
government, without endangering good govern
ment and the repose of society. This can be
done by :
First Extending the privilege and protection
of the laws over the negros as they are over the
whites, and allowing them to testify in the courts
on the same conditions ; leaving their testimony
subject to the rules relating to its credibility ;
but not objecting to its admissability. And in
this you will conform with the wise current of
modern legislation, and the tendency of all judi
cial decisions in all enlightened countries.
And second By fixing an intellectual, and
moral, and, if thought necessary, a property test
for the admission of all persons to the exercise of
the elective franchise, without reference to race
or color, which would secure its intelligent ex
ercise. My own view would be
First That no person now entitled to the
privilege of voting should be deprived of it be
cause of any new test. I would recognize in
this the difference between taking away a right
not heretofore exercised.
Second, That to authorize the admission of
persons hereafter to the exercise of the elective
franchise; they should be, first, males, second,
twenty-one years of age; third, citizens of the
United States; fourth, should have resided in the
state one year, and in the district, county or pre
cinct six months next preceding any election at
which they propose to vote; fifth, should be able
to read in the English language understandingly;
sixth, and must have paid taxes for the last year
preceding for which such taxes were due and
payable, subject to any disqualifications for
crime of which the person may have been duly
convicted, which may be prescribed by law.
The adoption of these measures, in addition to
those before mentioned, would, in my judgment,
meet the ends of judgment and fairness, secure
the re-establishment of the state government, the
admission of her senators and representatives in
congress, the suspension of military rule, and the
restoration of civil, constitutional and local self
govermnent. And it would do more. It would
secure your protection against other great ana
pending evils ; and is, I am persuaded, of the
greatest consequence to your future peace, pros
perity and happiness.
First, it would remove all just ground of anta
gonism and hostility between the white and black
races. Unless this is done, endless strife and bit
terness of feeling must characterize their rela
tions, and all history and human experience
teach us must, sooner or later, result in a war of
races. We know now, from sad experience, what
war is between equals and enlightened people.
But of all wars, a social war of races is the most
relentless aud cruel, the extermination or expul
sion from the country,or enslavement of one or
the other, being its inevitable end where they are
left to themselves, or the loss of liberty to both
races where they are all subject to the control of
a superior power, which would be our situation.
I speak, of course, of the legal rights and status
of the two races. Their social relations and mat
ters of taste and choice, are not subject to legis
lative regulations.
Second, This course would disarm and put an
end to inter-state, sectional, politicafragitation on
this subject at least, which has been the special
curse of our country for so many years, and
which was the cause of the unnumbered woes
we have recently experienced and still suffer, by
depriving tlie agitators of a subject on which to
keep up such an agitation, and of the me ins or
producing jealousy, animositv and hatred be-
Itween the different races, and this would do much
toward the renewal of the ancient relations of
national harmony and fraternal good will be
tween all parts of the country. And this, too,
is of the greatest consequence to our future wel
fare, and especially as our people now know
there is no hope of escape from it by appealing
to the principles of state sovereignty and the
right of secession.
If the state will accept this policy at once, it
will attain the great ends heretofore mentioned,
and it will' save its own people from years of
painful strife and agitation on these questions,
which would at least, probably after years of
contention, be found to be the only means of
hrinmnor it to an end, even if it lead to nothing
uruioiug i
worse, now mnmieiy oetier it wm e ur juu,
for both races, for the present and the future, for
the whole country, if you will unhesitatingly rec-
ognize the unalterable facts as to your condition,
and the inevitable logic of events; and hasten, as
it is in your power to do, the return of the bless-
a nnnotWntinnal liK.

sirable ends it must not be forgotten that it is an
essential prerequisite to confer on them their

policy which will prevent . them from becoming
an element of political agitation, and strife, and
danger.

flBusinesi to-day has improved somewhat. The slight
rise in the river mentioned a few day ago has given an
impetus to business on the wharf, but at we hear that
the river has again fallen, the receipts will not be very
heavy until there is more rain. The railroads are bring

Mr Dear Sir I was so much impressed with
onr conversation of last Tuesday that I returned
immediately to my room. ami wrote down sucn
of the points made as I could remember, and.
having pondered them all the way home, am lo-
day more than ever convinced that, if corrected
by you and returned to me, for either public or
private use, it will go far to promote a good tur--
dersianding between vote and our leading men.
It will also unite the public mind iu favor of
your plan, so far at least as you would carry it
out without modification.
You are aware that I do not associate much
with men in political life, but rather with thos
who, representing the advanced moral sense oi
the country, earnestly labor for the good of our
people, without hope of or even desire for office
or other immediate reward. The latter cla le
sire earnestly to understand your plans, ami. if

The report is meagre and unsatisfactory, but 1
ihink it conveys, for the most part, the spirit of
our conversation. Therefore, although the whole,
tenor of your words led me to believe it was nof
intended to be kept private, I liave refrained from
answering the sjteciflc inquiries of anxious friends,
whom I met on my way home, lest I might, in
some way, leave a wrong impression jon their
minds. Truly your irie.d, ;

THE PBKSinKKT'B TIBW8.
Washisotojt, D. C, Oct. 311 1-2 A. M.
I have just returned from an -interview with
President Johnson, in which he talked for an hour
on the process of reconstruction of rebel states.
His manner was as cordial, and his conversation
as free, as in 1SG3, when I met hini daily in Nash
ville. His countenance is healthy even more so than
when I first knew him.
I remarked that the people of the north were
anxious that the process of reconstruction fljoujil
be thorough, and they wished tonppoi'hini in
the arduous work ; but their ideas were confused
by the conflicting reports constantly circulated,
and especially by the present position of the dem
ocratic party. It is industriously circulated in tli
democratic clubs that lie was going over to them.
He laughingly replied, "Major, have you never
known a man who for many years had differed
from your views because you were in advance of
him, claim them as his own when he came up to
your stand-point 1"
1 replied, "I have often." He said, "So have
I," and went on "The democratic party finds its
old position untenable, and is coming to ours. If
it has come up to our position,. I am glad of it.
You and I need no preparation for this conversa
tion ; we can talk freely on this subject, for the
thoughts are familiar to us ; we can be perfectly
frank with each other." He then commenced
with saying that the states are in the anion, which'
is whole and indivisible. '
Individuals tried to carry them out, bntdidnot
succeed; as a man may try to cut his throat and
be prevented by the bystanders ; and you cannot
say he cut his throat because he tried to do it.
Individuals may commit treason, and be pun
ished, and a large number of individuals may con
stitute a rebellion, and be punished as traitors.
Some states tried to get oat of the union, and wo
opposed it, honestly, because we believed it tob
wrong; and we have succeeded in putting down
the rebellion. The power of those persons who
made tlie attempt has been crashed, and now we
want to reconstruct the state governments, and
have the power to do it. The state institutions
are prostrated, laid out on the ground, and they
must be taken up and adapted to the progress of
events ; this cannot be done in a moment. We
are making very rapid progress so rapid I some
times cannot realize it ; it appeals like a dream.
We must not be in too much of a hurry. It
is better to let them reconstruct -themselves than
to force them to it ; for if they go wrong, the
power is in our hands and wo can check them at
any stage, to the end, and oblige them to correct
their errors. We must le patient with them. I
did not expect to keep out all who were.exclucM
from the amnesty, or even a large number o
them ; but intended they should tue for parduti,
and to realize the enormity of the crime they had
committed.
You could not Jmve broached tlie subject of
equal suffrage, at the northy seven years ago, and
we must remember that the changes at the south
have been more rapid'and Ibey liav been obliged
to accept more unpalatable truth than the north
has. We must give them time to digest a part ;
for we cannot exiect such large affairs will Ik
comprehended and digested at once. We must
give them time to understand their new posi
tion. I have nothing to conceal in these matters, and
have no desire or wilKngncfs to take indirect
courses to obtain what we want.
Our government is a grand and lofty structure;
in searching for its foundation we find it rests on
the broad basis of popular right. The elective
franchise is cot a natural right, but a political
ngnu , a am opposed to giving the states loo
