EIGHTY THOU' SAND. Ia one of lis speeches in the North, Browklow uttered the shameless boast that in Tennessee, forty thousand men had disfranchised eighty thousand. The statement was applauded. Then and there spoke the enemy of the people and the trampler on the trampled. Then and there spoke in response, those willing to , see others trampled, but tenacious o liberty themselves those willing to see others swept from the face of the earth by sword and famine, but ready to . revolt iu the holy namo of libertv if one riiiht of theirs be assailed. The; speaker and the audience were worthy of one an other. One was swift to deprave, while the other was enger for the fruits of the general demoralization. Is this the basis upon which the Slates must be recon structed ? Is this the meaning of resto ration ? Then, far be the day when the son shall rise upon a reconstructed South. Better that armies should be quartered upon us, that the law of the shoulder-strap should domineer than a miuority rule, bloated with living and reeling in a drunken debauch of power. The shoulder-strap, if it happened to be upon the Bhoulder of a geutleman, might administer justice, as it could fear no rival no elections in which it might be shorn of power. A minority would always hate the majority, because of the wrong it had inflicted and the fear of retribution. Laws the most despotic would be enacted for the punishment of the people, while the little squad of offi cials would be exempt from their provi sions. : Under the cry that the people were disloyal, squads of plunderers, or ganized in the name of soldiers, would raid 'over the country, robbing and murdering the people. Of course, the peace could "not be preserved. ' Civil commotion would be inevitable. The country would be drenched with blood. Bom to freedom, no earthly power can wrest it .from the people. They may submit for a time, but tbe. volcano will form and burst. It is useless to disguise the fact that Bnowsi.ow's policy, becom ing perpetual, would ruin the prosperity of the country, because it would substi tute war for peaceslaughter for progress. A generation of Southrons, educated to hate an oppressor, to dream no dream sweeter than that of revenge, and to entertain no hope of justice in all the dreary waste of years to come, could not be restrained. ' For one, we tell the Browslow party that their policy ia ruin, and cannot prevail. Forty thounuml men cannot oppress righty thousand. - It would be nnnatural, it would he unjust, it would be damnable. The meanest slaves, conscious of power, would riot submit to a Landfill of oppres sors And can it he supposed that the high born race of the South are meaner than barbarians? Fatal delusion ! Vte Hill Lean the free Stated of the North arc, or be nothing. THE POIHT. Secretary BnowKixrj, in his late admi rable h-tler, says : " Negro suffrage is tbe real aud only substantial cause of rocitroversy between the Executive and the Legislative brunches of the Govern ment, and I implore my full&w-citi.xris to give it most earnest and dispassimiute consideration, whether upon such un is sue we are to be plunged into another fratricidal war, and imperil all there is nf our country gacred in the past, grand and valuable in the present, and hopeful and glorious in the future. Had the President joined Congress in forcing lie. gro suffrage on the South, all would have been fair and smooth, and instead of being- denounced as a fiend, he would now be worshiped as an idol by those who bitterly and unrelentingly assail biin." THE WHOLE TRUTH. The following extract from a letter just received from an intelligent lawyer in New Orleans, who went there from Bos ton in the sprinp, and who when he went was a in Republican, throws light on tbe true state of public feeling iu the South: " I have stayed here throngh the beat of summer without the fear of Con federates or others but Radicals. Tbey are the only mischief-makers, and I am inclined to think they will be still awhile. Negroes, too, are and will be quiet, if white Radicals will let them alone; and they never would have thought of riot but for such villains. What lies you publish there at the North I Well, you may learn better some day. Come down here and yea will soon." HUjTTLNG TP AHCESIOES. It is announced in England that an extensive business is carried on there in hunting up portraits for Americans, in order to make galleries of ancestors. An American agent, recently in London, explained that his business wss to " col lect ancestors," and that he had been quite successful, having picked op many good portraits, and that, " with proper attention to costnme and age, and some little heraldic additions, he bad matched suitable husbands and wives for two or three generations, and had exported sev eral very well assorted families, which, being provided with full credentials, were most filially adopted, and that he was continuing his highly remunerative researches. ' AH IMPOETAST CASK. One of the most celebrated causes, of modem times will be the approaching trial of ax-Governor Eras, of Jamaica. A large party in England are taking measures to bring fcYRS to tne oar ot nis country, to answer for putting to death George William Gobdon and others during tbe late Jamaica insurrection. This will be an important trial, and as the entire history of that insurrection will be gone over, and both parties in Kni'lund are deeulr interested for or against the Governor, it must, whilst in progress, occupy a large place in the public eye. Eminent counsel to conduct the prosecution have already been en gaged by the " Jamaica Committee." NOT FRIGHTENED. The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Examiner anys : "The Presi dent was told the other duy, by one of tha most eminent of the conservative Republican Senators, that he would be impeached and removed; that nothing, at his command, could now prevent it. The President could not see it. Hp talks politics freely with all comers, who are chiefly office beggars and sycophants, and are interested in deceiving him. His 'reliance npon the people' is still his leading characteristic, and the people are against him, except those whose sup port can do him no good.' THE DEW YORK ELECTION. The New York Tribune shows symp toms of alarm lest tbe Jacobins, in whose interests it labors, should not carry the election in that State next month. It is admitted by Mr. Greeley that if they do not exceed the vote of 18C5 by fifty thou sand, the party will be beaten. Greelet says : last year tne current set strongly for us, and we carried the State by thirty thousand majority ; yet we did not poll so many votes by over sixty thousand as we did the year before. To carry the State at all this year, we must poll at least fifty thousand more votes than we did last year." SEERS! AH ON THE BRAGGARTS. Gen. Sherxax is rather hard on a cer- iain class of "heroes," who boast in pub lic places of their achievements in the war against rebellion. He says: "It is amusing to observe how brave and firm men become when danger is past. I have noticed on the fields of battle that brave men never insult the raptured or rout late the deaiLj but the cowards aud brag garts always do. Now when the rebellion in our land is dead, many Falstafls ap pear to brandish the evidence of their valor and seek to win applause and to appropriate honors for deeds that never were done." THE CHOLESA IN LONDON. During the months of July, August and September, the total number of eatbs from cholera in London was 47 14. This is a ttmaller number of deaths than was reported during the corresponding period of either of tbe previous cholera years, JHi'J or ltfc4. in 1S4 mere were 12,847 deaths from cholera during the months of July, Angust and September, and in 1854 there were 9708 deaths du ng the same period. The population of London then was much less than it is now. s ITALY. Friday, the 19th of October, mil.-.! here after be a marked day in the Italian cal endar. It was the day that saw the for mal completion of the instrument by which Austria finally surrenders hprsiiv- ereinty over Venetia. The day itself is not one ordinarily associated with hapj.y omens. Hut italy has outlived so many evil ntnens and evil prophecies that those who have faith in progress and liberty will certainly not lose confidence in her future, now that her unification is so nearly completed. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. An anuual election for directors of the Mis'iihaippi Central railroad came off on Wednesday last at Water Valley. The old board was re-elected with the excep tion of Messrs. MiTCOILL, of Holmes county, and Miller, ot lennes&ee. Messrs. Owen, of Holmes, and STtrurss, of Tennessee, were elected in their stead. The Board organized and elected the Hon. A. M. West, President; A. J. McCovhico, Secretary, and G. F. Neil, Treasurer. A PONDEROUS YOUTH. The boy of seventeen years of age, who iaon exhibition in Ireland, is a siz able and weighty youth. He measures thirty-eight inches across the shoulders, seventy-three inches aronod the waist, thirty-six around the thigh, thirty around the calf of the leg and twenty-one around the arm. He weighs now five hundred and twelve pounds, and when he gets his growth, having several years yet to in crease his size, he will be one of the wonders of the world. LIQUID FIEE. A London letter says that since liquid fire, and other Fenian combustibles have been discovered in Liverpool, a Fenian has come out with a confession of hor rible plots in contemplation. Other cities in England, besides Liverpool, have their artificial hells ready to be opened ; and when Stifhexs, the Head-Centre, gets over there, bottles of liquid fire are to be thrown among the Queen's troops. Ter rible state of affair I' THE BRITISH INCOME TAX. The addition of a single penny in tbe pound in former times added about $", 000,000 annually to the British income tax, and Mr. G'-adjtoxc, when at the head of the British Exchequer, estimated the value of an additional penny tax at $0,500,000. The returns of the recently ended fiscal year show, however, that the income tax of four pence in the pound produced $27,975,000, each penny of the tax being thus worth $6.993.750. BKXAX-B0IX The "break-bone fever," says the Mont gomery Mail of the 10th, continues to rage in our city and physioians are kept busy. ', It is terribly severe on the pa tient, ;but we have not heard of a single fatal case yet! The disease generally lasts about eight days, and consists of intense pain in every joim, uigu icvere and sick stomach, very much resembling severe bilious levers. There is a large number of cases still in our midst - . : - PORTLAND. ' f :: V Since the great fire in Portland on the 4th of July last, there have been nearly 700 buildings erected on the burned dis trict The total contributions received for the benefit oft lie Portland sufferers have been $488,000. The Poi tlaud Press says, with regard to the report that Que bec has been generous in making eon tributions, that not. a dollar in money or in any other form was received in Port land from that city. BEN. WOOD. A correspondent, writing from New York, says : The Daily News, of this city which was purchased by the propri etors of the Sunday Mercury a week' or two ago has beeu sold back again to its original proprietor, Mr. Bek. Wood, the Merenry folks finding it a losing concern while they had charge of it It is ru mored that Mr. Dana is negotiating for that paper, and intends making a Radi cal sheet of it COX ON BEECHER. Hon. S. S. Cox made a scathing review of Bkkcheh's lute metomorphosis, at Brooklyn Academy, Thursday evening. He had no mercy for the Parson, and showed him up as an oyster raw, cooked, roasted and fried. For two long hours the great wigwam was densely packed with an excited crowd, most Brooklyuites too, all of whom left the building with their admiration for the Plymouth Church parson somewhat impaired. THE NEEDLE GUN. The inventor of the needle gun recent ly adopted by the British War Depart ment, and which is said to be superior to the Prussian needle gun and to the new gun with which tbe French army is to be armed, is a man named Snider, who now lies paralyzed and in poverty, the Gov ernment in spite of the value of his in vention, having done nothing for him. tgjj. The New York Herald of Friday says: It is rumored that Commodore Vaxderbii.t has purchased St John's Park for $1,000,000, or thereabouts. Probably the Commodore is the anony mous correspondent of one of the city journals who oilers to donate certain ground for the purpose desired by Mr. Stewart, and that St John s Park is to be devoted to this philanthropic object. teylt is stated that Commodore Lawrence, commanding the United States Atlantic Coast squadron, has ar rived at Fortress Monroe, for the pur pose of consolidating his squadron with the North Atlantic and West India squadrons. The new squadron, whieh will be consolidated in a few days, is to be commanded by Rear Admiral Palmer. SaJ A cow exhibited at a recent Illi nois agricultural fair gave, during three weeks in the month of June last, a yield of milk averaging twenty-nine quarts daily, and from the cream thirteen pounds of butter were made weekly. Distancing all competitors in the milk and butter tradn, she took the highest premium. xftay In reply to Forney's menace against the Governor of Maryland, the Washington Constitutional Union tnyn: " Let Forxet's urmy of traitors come on; they will U met iui thoy deserve.

In BAAnnlnnrA with tbft mirnnflA fx nramait in tlmt communication, vnu are expected to procure without delay, for the use ot tins department, a copy ot in record of the trial and conviction i T vnnli nml MeAfiihnn. anil ftlnn nf tb of further trials and convictions of a similar character wuicb shall take place in Can ada, with tbe least possible delay after tbeir termination. I am, sir, your obd t servant, Wm. H. Seward. Dkpartxkxt or Stats, I Washington, Out. 27. ISclu. I Sir: It is understood that James Lvneh and John McMahon have been re eeutlv convicted in a colonial court of Canada and sentenced to death, noon a charge that being citizens of tbe United Mates tbey were actors in tne assault in the month of June last at Fort Erie, in that colony. it can hardly be necessary to direct your attention to the tai-t that tne uov- ernment ot the united states is required by the highest considerations of national dignity, duty and honor, to inquire into the legality, justice and regularity of the judicial proceedings which have thus taken place; ana that alter making sucn a carelul scrutiny- we snail expect t make known to Her Majesty's govern ment such opinions as the President, upon due consideration, shall adopt. With this view, the Consul of the United States at Toronto is this day in structed to procure for tbe information of this department a copy of the record of the trial and conviction ot L,yncn anu McMahon. and also of all further trials and convictions of a similar character, which shall take place in Canada. While no unnecessary delay in the ex amination of the cases which are thus expected to come before this Government is intended, it may nevertheless happen hereafter that delays may unavoidably result from oast incidents or from future events which cannot now be foreseen. I have now tbe honor to request you to take such proceedings as you may think proper, to the end that sucb applications of tbe consul shall be promptly granted. The President directs me to assure you of his confident hope that. Her Majesty a Government will not only cheerfully comply with the request I have thus made, but they will think proper, itlso, to examine the judicial proceeding afore said, with a careful regard to the rights of the United States, and so the mainte nance of good relations between the two countries. Such relations are always difficult and delicate in States that are adjacent to each other, without being separated by impassable boundaries. For this reason it would be very gratifying to the President if you should be able to give me an assurance that execution of the sentences pronounced upon the convicted persons will be suspended if occasion for delay shall arise in the manner before mentioned to make it de sirable. Finally, I deem it proper to say that the offenses involved in these trials are in their nature eminently political. It is the opinion of this Government that sound policy coincides with tbe best im pulses of a benevolent nature in recom mending tenderness, amnesty and for giveness in such cases. This suggestion is made with freedom and earnestness, because the same opinions were proposeJ to us in our recent civil war by all the governments and publicists of Europe, and by none of them with greater frank ness and kindness shown than by the Government and statesmen of Great Britain. I am very sure that you will find that these recommendations of a policy of clemency and forgiveness in the case of the parties concerned nre in tbe entire harmony with all the suggestions and representation which this Government has made to her majesty's government in regard to the aggresssions which have been made on the Canadian frontier, and the ther are also in harmony vith ibe proceedings which this Govern ment has thought it just, wise and pru dent to pursue in regard to the violation of its own neutrality laws, which was in involved in these aggressions. I have the honor to be, with the high est ronsideration, sir, your obedient ser vant, (Signed) Wv. II. Seward. To the Hon. Sir Fred. W. A. Bruce. MEXICO. Practical Aid for the.

Tbe Mex ican Consul here, to-day, inquired at the military headquarters if Ortega would be prevented from entering Mexico. The commander was absent, but Adj't Gen. Crosby advised that Ortega should not attempt to leave till the General returns to-morrow. Ortega has a large force rady on the Rio Grande to cross with him: but the policy of the government is clearly de fined, and he will not be permitted to enter Mexico at present Santa Anna Publishes a letter, i he denounces the clan which a Bostotj journal has atiributed to the Americsfrq government ot guaranteeing tne aetxaue by Maximilian a ridiculous Empire to France, in consideration nf the cessation to the United Suites of a por tion of the Mexican territory.

St. Locts, October 27. The Denver ,Vr contains a d "patch dated Pueblfs October 9, which says that the Indians have returned to tbe head of the Huer fano, and were murdering, stealing and Bhooting down cattle, and if troops were not sent there immediately the Indians would destroy all ths fine crops in that vicinity. Three men had been killed and several were missing. ' -' It also publishes a letter from U. M. Curtis, dated Bolito, Upper Huerfano, October 8th, addressed to Major Oaks, of Denver, informing him that the Indians bad taken all tbe horses for twelve miles up the creek, and killed two men. The soldiers and citisens were on their trail, but Curtis did not think they would over take them. The Indians committing the depredations are the Magnacbe and Utes. As yet the Tabequaches have taken no part, but the hostile Indians have gone into their country. NORFOLK AMI) MEMPHIS. Arrangements for a Thorough Con nection. Fortress Monroe, October 27.
